Niagara Benchlands Wineries
On June 14 and 15, 2025, the scenic vineyards of the Niagara Benchlands will come alive with the vibrant spirit of the West during the Boots ‘n Benchlands Weekend—a unique celebration that blends country charm with award-winning wine and culinary experiences.
Set against the rolling hills and lush landscapes of Niagara’s celebrated wine region, this weekend-long festival invites guests to kick up their boots and enjoy a country-style getaway like no other. With rustic flair and a touch of elegance, the event showcases the best of local wineries, breweries, and farm-to-table dining—all while embracing the warm, down-home feel of a classic country fair.
Participating wineries across the Benchlands will offer special tastings, live music, line dancing, and BBQ-inspired food pairings. From bold reds to crisp whites, each winery puts its own spin on the festivities, offering guests a chance to explore new flavours while enjoying a laid-back country atmosphere. Expect hay bale seating, acoustic sets in the vineyard, and maybe even a mechanical bull or two for the brave-hearted.
In addition to tastings, the weekend includes country-themed events like guided vineyard tours on horseback, artisan markets, and boot-stomping entertainment featuring local musicians playing classic country hits and original tunes. It’s the perfect chance to sip, savour, and soak in the sunshine surrounded by the natural beauty of Niagara.
Boots ‘n Benchlands is ideal for couples, friend groups, and wine lovers looking for a relaxed but lively summer outing. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just looking for a new way to experience Niagara, this weekend promises great wine, good company, and unforgettable memories.
