Strewn Winery

We spent a beautiful day in wine country going from vineyard to vineyard on a Sunday afternoon. We had a small bag of dry beef jerky in the car to hold us over until dinner, but little did we know that we would be continuing to eat dead dry meat at Strewn. We ordered the French Pork Chop and were served a sole of combat boot cooker within an inch of its life. Nice enough place, but I think it was a bad day for them.

Discovery pass. I’d give this winery ⁵⁄₅ for the wine but ²⁄₅ in the food pairing we had during wine fest. Crostini should be toasted bread but because what was prepared was sitting for a few hours it was spongy toast with an ok topping except for the garlic hummus that gave it a «feet» note, yes what you walk on. If they didn’t serve us any food this would be a ⁵⁄₅ review.

Strewn Winery was the first stop on the Niagara Fun Tours Summer Wine Tour, and it was a perfect first stop!
The grounds are beautiful, and the tasting room is spacious and bright. We had a sizeable group (40 perhaps?) and didn’t feel nearly as cramped here as we did at other wineries. Strewn was the best winery we visited in terms of being able to accommodate a large group.
The sommelier took us through a tasting and demonstrated the «right» way to taste wine. It wasn’t long before we tasted all three wines here, and I walked out having purchased a $ 10 bottle of Riesling. The sangria was also very good; our group excitedly chattered about different fruits and booze to mix with it.
We briefly walked through their cooking school area: crisp, clean, bright and airy… like no real kitchen in a restaurant could possibly be! Strewn offers cooking classes for recipes that will complement your wine.
Back on the bus, guys! I’ve got more wineries to review.

Strewn winery has spacey tasting room, has cooking school and restaurant inside. Staffs are very friendly. Has various wines to taste, 2009 Merlot ($ 16.95) was decent.
Had lunch in winery restaurant, service was great and nice. We had Salmon chowder, Cabernet beef ragout ($ 19) and provencale pizza ($ 17). They were all well prepared but I was bit disappointed. Maybe my expectation was too high.

Strewn has everything a visitor to the Niagara Wine Country would want to see, do, taste and experience while exploring the area. There is a cooking cooking school (check the website) and nice large tasting rooms that we didn’t find at many other vineyards. There is also a great restaurant to grab a bite — includes an outdoor patio which I highly recommend. I have been here twice and will continue to make it a stop on my wine tours in the years to come!

I really enjoy my wine tasting at Strewn Winery.
A lot smaller in size than other «estate» wineries in the area. But the beauty of being smaller, the services so much more personal.
50 cents per tasting is well worth the price, to experience quite a few of their offerings that only available at their winery store.
Strewn Winery also has a winery restaurant Terroir La Cachette and a Country Winery cooking school on site. Wine and Food Pairing? The best of both world!

Strewn Winery was my first winery tour ever, so for those who visit vineyards a lot, the experience might be a bit different.
The tour guide was fabulous and the tour totally went beyond my expectations. I learned a lot of interesting facts about wine. And the wine we tasted was amazing! After the tour we were dropped off in the «Tasting Room» where we continued sampling wines, including a delicious spiced mulled wine and an amazing amazing red ice wine (wow!).
I ended up buying a Gewürztraminer that wasn’t sold in the LCBO (Ontario’s booze palace). Can’t wait to drink it!

I got a certificate for 10ppl wine tour for this winery and we visited it nov.
the customer service is very attentive and even though I was moving the dates and times few times and the number of ppl in my group was changing every now and then — the lady on the other side of the phone was trying to accomodate the tour to fit all our needs.
we ended up being 16 ppl on the tour and we had some great time walking around the winery and having a tour into the cellar with different wine tasting.

we took advantage of The Wine & Herb Festival
info — a weekend touring the 21 Wineries of Niagara-​on-​the-​Lake where each will feature a different herb-​themed food pairing matched to a premium VQA wine selected to highlight the flavour and aroma of the herb.
featured herb — Sage — gnocchi with lemon zest and goat cheese, finished with sage butter with Strewn’s Semi-​Dry Riesling
review — another gorgeous winery. it was nice that a chef from the cooking show was cooking the gnocchi to an audience. delicious gnocchi.
