    Super friendly staff, great experience
    The staff was great and made sure our experience was fantastic. We got a complimentary drink since they were late opening (yet we were still inside and seated 2 minutes before their opening time). They were very thorough in describing the wines and were able to help us out with which would be the best wines for us to pick. They read the note I left in the comment section when booking and were fully prepared for our visit. Unfortunately two people of our group were sick that day and could not come so we were offered a refund for those two tastings which I was not expecting. Over all great experience.

    Great winery to visit in NOTL
    Great surprise. We were not really expecting much and found so much more. Our hostess Charlotte was knowledgeable and friendly, making our visit a real charm. Wines from the Lakeview label were quite good, some very good. For Port lovers, try the Tawny. Anyways, we were 6 and we all really enjoyed the visit. All the best to them.

    Great time and some great wine
    We were greeted at the door as soon as we arrived. Andrew was our host and he was great. Very helpful, friendly, great suggestions - 2020 Malbec was amazing suggestion :-) Sherri checked us out and was also very friendly. She talked to my friend and I while our spouses were shopping. All in all, I would highly recommend. Very laid back experience. We’d go back if we come this way again. Thanks again from Philly! :-)

    Try the ice wines!
    Nice tasting experience. We went at 11a on a Friday, with a reservation, and were met by a friendly associate who started our tasting experience off on a really great note. I like how they organized the tasting. They allow you to taste from a large list of sparkling, still white, still red, and ice wines. Each person chooses four things to taste, circling what they would like, and then all wines are brought out simultaneously. This was expeditious and also allowed people to really pick what they'd like, as well as a party of people to taste a wide variety. Staff were helpful during the tasting and happy to pour a couple of extras when asked. As for the wines -- mixed bag. The traditional method sparkling wine had a nice brioche nose and nice acidity. A couple of the Rieslings were good. Other still wines were less to our taste. The ice wines, however, were universally excellent -- the Vidal, Riesling, and Cab Franc ice wines were all superb. Were I to taste again, I'd taste more of those. Overall, a nice experience. Beautiful setting, pleasant and knowledgeable service.

    A wonderful tasting with James
    My mother and I just visited Lakeview Wine Company in Niagara on the Lake, Canada. The tasting for 4 wines was $20CAD, which was cheaper than all other wineries in the area. You also got to choose any 4 wines, from sparkling, white, rose, red, and dessert. Our wine guide, James, was a delightful mix of welcoming and knowledgable host. I highly recommend this place!

    Nice winery with good wines at reasonable prices
    Very nice winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake Canada. Enjoyed six different wines in 2 wine flights for me and my wife. Also, had a cheese and charcuterie board to snack on. James was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a good conversation about the wines, the grapes, and wine regions. Prices are regional. We will stop back the next time we are in the area.

    Been to many wine tastings all over the world...this ranks right up there as an experience.
    amazing personalized, no rush tasting session. Charcuterie board was simple but perfect to nibble on. the service was off the charts, our host James was very detailed and knowledgeable. our tasting was accommodated beyond the standard fair and as a result we did purchase quite a bit between the four of us. oh and did i mention the products were very good and would have stood on their own, but the experience made it that much better. good work Team Lakeview! will recommend to others for sure.

Another great trip to Niagara on the Lake. We always try to go to different wineries every time we visit from Montreal (twice a year), but we seem to go back to some of the wineries at every visit, and Lakeview is one of them, its always a great experience, very knowledgable staff on wines, and have fun with tastings too. The Icewine Vidal from Lakeview is delicious! We also learned that blue cheese is the best side cheese with this Icewine

Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Lakeview Winery Did Not Offer What We Pre-Paid for from Their Website.
We had booked and pre-paid for 4 of the wine and cheese tasting “flight” that is still advertised on their website. Upon arrival, we were told that that service had not been offered for weeks. The staff at Lakeview were surprised it was still on the website.
Staff, however, were very knowledgeable and generous with their time, giving us a tour of the winery and providing a wine tasting for the four of us.
We had guest visiting from out of province and wanted to let them share the Niagara wine experience.
Also disappointing was the fact that no refund was offered although an effort to compensate was made with tasting and touring.

We happened to go to Lakeview Wine Co because it was a 10 minute walk from where we were staying and they have a great deal for mid-week tasting. We paid $10 for 4 wines. Our server seemed to be working alone and gave us a free sample of a sparkling wine as we waited which was much appreciated. The wines were good and we enjoyed shopping in the boutique. The only thing we felt was missing was a description of the wines on the menu which would have been helpful when deciding what to try.

We arrived for a booked tasting but weren't greeted by anyone and essentially ignored until 20 min later when we sought someone out who worked there. It meant we were 45 min late to our next tasting location. No information provided on the wines we chose which is a shame. Some were tasty but the lack of experience made me not want to buy anything.

First of all there was a big noise coming from their production area building during our patio tasting . not a quiet tasting area.

Then the wine: Tasted 8 of lakeview wines (reds, whites and rosés)

All 8 wines were clearly mass production cheap wines.

Been to more than 80% of all niagara wineries including notl, escarpment and beamsville area and lakeview wine is part of the worst wines we had.

Avoid this winery unless you don’t know anything about wine.

It was about 2 years ago that we first tasted the Tzafona and Nava kosher wines that are produced at Lakeview winery.
Last summer we visited Lakeview winery and had the opportunity to taste most of the kosher wines. They were absolutely delicious!
This July, my partner and I visited Lakeview again. We again tasted and purchased several bottles of Tzafona wines. Our guide, Ely was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and very personable.
A few days ago, a friend and I booked a wine tasting.
As we arrived a little bit early, we were greeted by Emily who was very welcoming and very pleasant. I then spotted Ely and asked if he was available to do our wine tasting. He was able to accommodate and look after us.
Ely definitely knows his stuff! He made our experience at Lakeview so pleasant. I always leave with more knowledge then I had before. Ely is definitely a great ambassador for Lakeview Winery.
Additionally, to the best of my knowledge, Lakeview is the only kosher winery in Canada. You must give Tzafona and the Nava labels of kosher wines a try. You won't be disappointed!

We ordered the wine tasting and added a Charcuterie box to go with it. The box looks small, but it is packed with lots of food, thought a couple crackers would help. the wine tasting was enjoyable. Emily did a great job of pairing the wines wit the content of the Charcuterie box. She also found some reds that my wife even drank (didn't drink reds till yesterday). the Baco Noir did the trick.

I love the little green houses so that you can try wine outside, or even when it is cooler.

Thank you

We went to Lakeview to celebrate my friends 40th birthday as she wanted to experience it for the first time. Evan was a great host providing his knowledge and has a great personality to make the experience an enjoyable one. Towards the end of the tasting we had asked him if we can take pictures after the tasting and Evan said we were welcome to and to just leave our personal belongings on the table while we took pictures. So we left our half cheese plate box and some props we brought for our pictures on the other side of the table far away from the used wine glasses we used for the tasting. So we went to take pictures and Evan came up and said his shift had ended and if we needed anything to just ask his manager for help. We thanked him for his great service and we continued to take pictures. When we got back to our table all of our stuff was thrown in the garbage by one of the staff. When we asked why it was thrown in the garbage he said he didn't know and was a bit rude that we asked about it. That was a disappointment that the half cheese plate box and our stuff were thrown away. I would've rated it 5 star review if that didn't happen.

Absolutely loved our visit to Lakeview for the 2nd year in a row.  We were fortunate to have Andrew again as our guide through the wines offered by the many brands under the Lakeview label.  Andrew provides colourful history of the winery and assisted with our pairings to the charcuterie board we had order.  He takes the time to get to know you as an individual, what you like, experiences and then caters to that direction but not shy to have you try something new to push your boundaries.  We were able to explore far more than what you would normally get at a typical wine tasting.  We walked away purchasing a few bottles to bring home to enjoy later.  If in the Niagara Region and want an enjoyable time, leisurely enjoying some wine, conversation and wine knowledge, check out Lakeview and specifically ask for Andrew........you will not be disappoint.   Tasting was scheduled for 30 minutes and I think we were just over a 75 minutes when we left. Only draw back when comparing other vineyards, it would be nice to have a larger tent for outdoor seating and perhaps a cafe/bistro option for those who just want to grab a bottle and sit on a patio and enjoy!   But still worth the stop regardless!

A very pleasant environment for wine tasting with very helpful staff. Emily was a very accommodating hostess and addressed many of our questions about Lakeview wine Company. Impressed with the varieties of wines, including icewines, ciders, etc.
