Small family operated winery. Friendly staff and generous tasting menu make this a must visit place.

Caroline Cellars is a constant on our twice-yearly trips to Niagara-on-the-Lake's wine region in order to restock our wine cellar. Their slate of offerings is extensive, their writeups for each wine are succinct yet complete and helpful, and their tasting bar is welcoming and friendly. While some of their wines lack a robust finish, they have so many that there... More

Visited as a part of a winter tour and this was the highlight for sure. The staff was great, very friendly and very informative. The wine tasting was the best experience we had all day. They let you choose which 4 wines you want to taste, which is an excellent perk. They also have a fantastic variety of wines. Stand... More

Visited here for the first time 2 years ago... loved the wine so much I sent my husband back the following year to get me an entire case of wine! We just were there again this year... never a dissappointment!

This winery is probably one of my fiancé and my favorites. Each time we make a trip to NOTL we always end up leaving this winery with three or four bottles and some more knowledge about wine and the climate in NOTL. This winery has great service, knowledgeable employees, and great wine. This is one of our favorites and a... More

For the second year, we went to the Niagara Icewine Festival this past weekend. Caroline Cellars was our favorite stop last year, so we looked forward to another visit. We were not disappointed! The four food and ice wine pairings were excellent, as were several of the wines we tasted and purchased. What stands out even more than the delightful... More

We visited this winery in October. The tasting was good, and free. The atmosphere of the winery is OK. The disappointment came when we returned home. We’ve purchased 2 bottles of plum wine, 1 bottle of icewine, and 2 bottles of 2008 Bradfield Red. In a couple of weeks after our return from the winery, we had some guests visiting,... More

I am very disappointed to hear this. I receive all emails from our website and respond to them in a timely manner. Maybe something happened in the transmission process - our phone number is also listed on our website as an option. We would be very happy to rectify the situation - the 2008 Bradfield Red is a favourite of... More

After a full day of touring, we thought we wouldn't have a chance to make it in time but we got there right at 5:30, and although they seemed to be getting ready for close she welcomed us in. They gave us a list of the wines, made some suggestions and let us choose what we wanted to taste--which I... More

A group of 20 came here as part of a family wine tour. Alot of wineries have set wines that you taste; you really don't get to decide.

This was an "extra" stop on our wine tour, and ended up being our favourite stop! Such a cute little establishment - we went back the day after the tour to try more of their wine. Loved the plum and the cranberry. I loved the Rielsing so much I got the 1.5L bottle. Very personable staff and great tasting wine.
