Press Release Body: Ontario's Wine region is blessed with a 'cool climate' that
means that at the time of harvest grapes have more concentrated flavors and balanced
acidity levels. Further, the "lake effect" caused by lakes Erie and Ontario protects
the precious vines from frosts in the spring and grants the benefits of an extended
growing season in the fall. Add to this the influence of Ontario's soils on the
quality of grapes; there are many different varieties of grapes that can be produced
in the four viticultural areas of Ontario.

Sandy loam soil is found near the Lake Ontario shore, while silty clay is found on
the escarpment bench areas. Because of the unique quality of these soils the Niagara
Escarpment wineries and Lake Ontario have been able to create a microclimate
suitable for the production of World Class Wines.

To experience some of the most incredible wines you can opt for Niagara on the lake
wine country tours. These wine tours offer you the thrill of enjoying a multi-course
lunch or dinner at a scenic winery location. You can choose from beautiful courtyard

Hillebrand is one of the best Niagara on the Lake wineries that captures the essence
of Niagara's wine lifestyle in a stunning and relaxed environment. Hillebrand ice
wine was the first icewine to come out of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Icewine is produced
by allowing the grapes to freeze naturally on the vine. Grapes in this condition
acquire the optimum level of sugar and flavor. Ontario's Niagara region is currently
the largest producer of icewines. Hillebrand also pioneered the production of Trius
in the Niagara region. Trius is a blend of selected best Cabernet Franc, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot grapes.

Grape And Wine Festival
Wine enthusiasts can also look forward to the Niagara grape and wine festival that
takes place in the middle of September when the area celebrates the annual harvest
of the grapes. Over a hundred exciting events take place during this ten day
celebration.
The attendees get the opportunity of wine tasting, sampling the best of the regional
cuisine, being entertained by live concerts and enjoying the pageantry of two
outstanding parades. If you're visiting in late January, the town of
Niagara-on-the-Lake has an Ice Wine Celebration based around the harvesting of the
ice wine grapes.

The VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) consists of a set of standards for winemaking
excellence from the vineyard right through to the bottling line. Every Ontario VQA
wine earns its position by meeting demanding standards and then undergoes complete
laboratory and taste testing. If a wine has VQA on its label, you can be sure that
it represents authenticity and quality. Perfect grapes, a Passion for winemaking and
an Obsession for quality is the essence of VQA certified Ontario wines.
