My husband and I visited here last October, and were offered a unique experience, which was a surprise treat. The woman at the tasting bar offered us a complimentary tasting of 5 wines each if we participated in a small survey that attempted to match their wines with personality traits. It was funny, and fun, and offered a terrific insight... More

My husband and I were on vacation in the Niagara area, and while we were there we visited some friends of ours in Buffalo, NY. We saw a brochure about the ice wine festival that was taking place, and since none of us had ever tasted ice wine before we decided to find a winery and give some a try... More

This was one of our stops on the Wine and Chocolate tour and we thought the wine and dessert offered, and the atmosphere of this vineyard were really delightful. While tours are still being offered in the winter, we didn't go on one because of the heavy snow. We hope to return in the summer to learn more about this... More

While staying in NOTL we had the opportunity to stop here twice, once in December and again in January during the ice wine festival. Both times we were very pleased with the service and educational information about the wine we tried from the staff we interacted with. We had a complimentary tasting pass so I can't comment about the fees... More

Let me preface this by saying that I love living in this area and my husband and I have immersed ourselves in all that it has to offer, including visiting most of the wineries, becoming wine club members at a couple, taking a wine course, etc., etc. Because Chateau des Charmes is visually beautiful from the outside (hence the two...

Hello Bluewater_2004. I'm sorry you were less than pleased with your experience at our winery. Each winery in our neighbourhood has their own policy regarding tasting bar fees and whether or not they will be waived and in what circumstances. We survey leaders in the industry to make sure that our policies are fair and comparable to properties we consider... More

We visited this winery in late December after a snow fall. The building and estate looked gorgeous in the snow. We signed up for the tour and tasting. The tour included three tastings at the end and was five dollars a person. The tour lasted approx twenty minutes. The tour took place inside and was informative. We did get to... More

A very aesthetic experience into the integration of taking traditional ideas and the modern influences.

Whe my fiance and I visited the winery to inquire about the possibility of having our wedding reception there, we were quite impressed with what we saw and heard from Glen. Any comments from the management on the review below? I would love to hold my wedding reception at the Chateau, but this review is making me think twice. Re:... More

After looking on Trip Advisor we decided on visiting this vineyard over the others. Glad we did. We were on a small tour and happened to be there just as they began to harvest the grapes. The tour guide was very good. Friendly and answered all questions. After we sampled another wine or two and the lady serving was brilliant!... More
