Niagara Icewine Festival

The 17th Annual Niagara Icewine Festival is a uniquely Canadian winter experience for all. This annual celebration of Canada’s most cherished product, Icewine, is only the beginning of three weekends of events and tastings. From Gala evenings to outdoor ice carvings and wine and culinary activities, the Niagara Region comes alive. There is nothing like it anywhere else in North America and we invite you to visit, taste and experience a true Canadian Festival: the Niagara Icewine Festival.

Cheers!
