The Niagara Grape & Wine Festival takes place from September 5 to 28, 2025, in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. This month-long celebration unfolds in the heart of Niagara wine country, organized by the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival Association. The city lies along the shores of Lake Ontario, just minutes from historic Port Dalhousie and the iconic Welland Canal. Nearby attractions include the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and the world-famous Niagara Falls. The location offers the ideal setting for wine professionals to discover regional excellence while enjoying picturesque landscapes.
Since its first edition in 1952, the festival has become Canada’s largest and oldest wine celebration. Over the decades, the event has evolved into a comprehensive showcase of Ontario’s vibrant wine scene. It features vineyard tours, winemaker’s dinners, educational tastings, and the popular Montebello Park wine garden. Local and international producers present their finest selections, connecting directly with trade professionals, restaurateurs, and connoisseurs. Live music, food pairings, and immersive experiences help to highlight the craftsmanship behind each bottle. Importers and distributors use the festival to explore new brands and strengthen industry relationships.
In 2025, the festival will spotlight premium VQA wines, sustainable producers, and emerging Canadian wine styles. Trade visitors can join exclusive tastings, engage with winemakers, and discover wines ready for export or national distribution. The Grand Parade and Grape Stomp add festive energy, while B2B networking zones support professional connections. With a balance of business and celebration, the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival offers a prime opportunity to explore Canada’s signature wine region. From boutique labels to well-established producers, the event delivers valuable insights and tasting experiences in one of North America’s most scenic wine destinations.
