Wine Country Ontario - Travel Guide 2017 - 83

The arrival of winemaking pioneer Herbert Konzelmann from Germany
in 1984 gave the Niagara wine industry a boost of confidence and
experience. Since then Konzelmann Estate Winery has gone on to earn
countless national and international awards. Konzelmann, Niagara's
only lakefront winery, focuses on cool-climate varieties including
Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Merlot. The winery prides itself on
offering a friendly, informative and educational experience.
