Most of the wines are made with the traditional Italian appassimento style of drying grapes, including a large portfolio of red, white and dessert wines. A new series has been introduced, made in the “recioto” style of making dessert wines. The winery is built in the Romanesque style featuring a captivating panoramic view of the vineyard and escarpment atop the St. David’s Bench appellation. The wine tasting bar overlooks the production area, allowing visitors to see the process. We, La famiglia Colaneri, are always on hand to share the experience and the passion that went into the making of our wines and our winery. « less

My experience at Colaneri was VERY disappointing. We were so excited to visit this location because of its impressive architecture and surroundings, but the staff made our time there uncomfortable and upsetting. The building itself is incredible and has the potential to be a fantastic winery, but the condescending and rude staff members made us feel as though we were... More

I would never recommend this winery. Having been on many wine tours in the Finger Lakes region, we were looking forward to trying wineries at Niagara on the Lake. There were so many informative, friendly and enjoyable wineries on our tour, but THIS WINERY WAS NONE OF THESE! If you like a beautiful property and do not care how you... More

I really love this Winery ... the spectacular building (still in process), the location, the warm hospitable Colaneri Family, especially Chris (my favourite wine guy) and of course the wonderful tasting wines. We enjoy bringing our many visitors to this winery. Most recently we brought my husband's cousin & wife. She likes a full-bodied red wine and after visiting many... More

When you arrive at this winery, you immediately believe you have entered the Italian countryside. Parts were still under construction but you can envision the final result and this is a wonderful escape into another dimension. A tour made our trip somewhat congested and that took away from the experience a little, but overall friendly staff and excellent wine.

We stopped here in March 2013. The building is amazing! A tuscan villa in the middle of Niagara-on-the-Lake looked amazing and we were excited to try wines made in the Italian style. We had a wine tasting and the staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the Colaneri wine-making process (they concentrate the fruit using a kiln prior to fermentation).... More

Excellent wines, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The facility is beautiful, and the bottle labels themselves are works of art. Very professional and knowledgable staff.

Our first encounter with Colaneri Estate Winery was by chance. My wife and I were enjoying a leisurely drive in the Niagara Wine Country when we first saw the beautiful Tuscan Villa. We drove to the site and were greeted by Christopher, who as it turned out was a member of the Colaneri family. He answered our questions and directed... More

First time for me at this Winery, and first time for their wines, since you can't buy them in Ontario LCBO stores. A beautiful Tuscan-style villa, very friendly and generous staff, and gorgeous setting. Tried only the red wines - pricey they are, but found the Cab Franc/Merlot (Corposo) and the Cab Franc 2010 (Unita) very nice. Good stop on... More

As a first time visitor to Colaneri Estate Winery, I was extremely impressed. While it was a cloudy, dull and somewhat chilly mid March day, the impressive site that met our eyes from the road, instantly transported me back to the warm and inviting hill country of Central Italy. I can't wait to see what the impressive winery looks like... More
