Malivoire Winery- Beamsville, ON
Malivoire's Quanset hut is definately one of the Niagara area's more unique wine tasting venues. It is also one of the few wineries I have visited since Covid that offers a full tasting experience, lead by a knowledgable vineyard employee. No plastic cups and paper slips with short summaries here. Rather a full explanation of the winery's different vineyards, soils types, grapes and vintages, which was almost as refreshing as the wine.
