Annual Grape and Wine Festival
- August 23, 2025

Where tradition meets taste, Niagara’s Grape and Wine festival is back for its 2025 season. Taking place in Montebello park in downtown St. Catharines, enjoy over 100 Niagara Wines, tasty local food, incredible music all in one beautiful park space from September 25th to the 28th. This park is only a 22-minute drive from the hotel.
All through the month of September, enjoy planned events each weekend at various wineries with the Discovery Pass, to celebrate this amazing time of year. You will find family fun days packed with family friendly activities, the annual Mayors Grape stomp, Grape and Wine Grand Parade on the 27th, wine tours and tastings. Looking for your next group adventure with friends? Why not rent a private cabana, a perfect place to enjoy different tastings in a more private setting!
Admission to the festival is free, however you can purchase tickets to their VIP music lounges and concerts. All tickets and passes can be purchased on the festival's website here! Along with more information about this year's festival.
There's nothing better than supporting local wineries and shops in the Niagara region and the Grape and Wine Festival is the perfect way to do so, a great way to celebrate the end of summer and changing of seasons. Can't make the Grape and Wine Festival? Niagara's Ice Wine Festival is just a few months away! Will have more information closer to the next festival in December. We hope you get to enjoy the Niagara Grape and Wine festival and celebrate where the grapes are grown.
