From Friday, April 5th to Sunday, April 14th, the Spring Sparkles Festival will host an exciting collection of events throughout Ontario, Canada. At the heart of Spring Sparkles is the broader mission of celebrating the contributions of both winemakers and chefs in the renowned Niagara Region. Hosted by the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival, wine aficionados and food enthusiasts alike will undoubtedly relish all the wonderful opportunities this festival offers.
Spring Sparkles Discovery Pass holders can indulge in the finest sparkling wines accredited by the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) alongside delicious cuisine from superb local chefs. Prospective attendees can select either a three- or six-experience pass, which grants access to an impressive array of participating wineries throughout Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Niagara Benchlands. Prices start at C$32.50, and discounts are available for designated drivers.
If you’d rather not arrange for a designated driver, consider bundling your Discovery Pass with a Shuttle Pass. This option provides comfortable transportation to and from pre-selected wineries across the Benchlands or Niagara-on-the-Lake, departing from your choice of Niagara Falls or St. Catharines.
Featured wineries along the Benchlands route include Tawse Winery, Redstone, Sue-Ann Staff Estate, 180 Estate Winery, Harbour Estates, and Vineland Estates. Those choosing the Niagara-on-the-Lake route will visit Pillitteri Estates, Jackson-Triggs, Inniskillin Wines, De Simone Vineyards, Reif Estate Winery, and Marynissen Estates. The Discovery Pass combined with a Shuttle Pass costs C$110.00.
