Niagara Wineries
Why is Niagara County a perfect location for so many great wineries? The geographical attributes of the Niagara region have a meaningful impact on climate. Proximity to the deep waters of Lake Ontario and the fast-flowing Niagara River moderates temperatures throughout the viticultural region, reducing the risk of late spring and early fall frosts.
