The Bottom Line
Petite family owned winery that offers free wine tasting. Skip the reds and whites, try the rose wines instead. If this is your first time in the Niagara region, visit the larger wineries (such as Peller Estates) first. (6.5/10)Recommended wines

The Winery
We visited the winery in the winter, on a very very cold February weekend, so we did not have the chance to see the winery and the grapes. Basically, we parked, and ran inside (you would too if it's -30C with windchill outside!). :)

The one thing I love about this winery is the free wine tasting. Yes, you heard right, free! But only for the regular reds, whites, and rose. There is still a charge for the ice wines.
I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of their weds and whites, but I do enjoy the rose. On our way out, there is a cute banner with an advertisement for pork roast on Sept 20 & 27, 2015. I know it's a bit far away, but something to keep in mind if you're visiting the region late September.

If you've only got a half day at the Niagara region, or if it is your first time visiting the area, skip Caroline Cellars and go for the more famous wineries such as Peller Estates. However, if you're like me and have been to NOTL many times, why not go off the beaten path and support some of the smaller wineries? You may find something new.
