Tips from the community

Inniskillin on the banks of the Niagara River in Canada has found a way to use its relatively unique location as an advantage to their winemaking. Canadian winters are freezing cold. If grapes are left on the vine to age and freeze, then picked and processed while frozen you get ice wine. Ice wine is far sweeter than a standard wine of the same variety, and more of a dessert wine. Inniskillin’s sparkling ice wine is a personal favorite and highly recommended. If you’re looking to propose to your special someone, this winery offers a package to accommodate that. It comes complete with a private tour of the facilities and a tasting to assist you in getting your courage up. Then, after you have successfully popped the question, you both receive a glass of our favorite sparkling icewine to celebrate. I imagine they would still give you one if it didn’t work out, although this is not expressly stated. Maybe they’ll give the whole bottle instead of just a glass if the answer is “no.”
