Resting at the base of the Niagara Escarpment in WNY, where thousands of years ago, glacial deposits created the fertile basis for our premium grapes. The moderating effects of Lake Ontario, contribute to a longer growing season and ripening vineyards.
Ten miles to the west in Niagara Falls, NY, the mighty Niagara River continues to carve its way through the geologic foundations of this region. Since the days of early European explorers the power and majesty of this land have drawn many to take up the challenge to settle and thrive here.
Niagara Landing Wine Cellars, Lockport, NY, is nestled in vineyards dating back to the late 1800s, tended by three generations of family viticulturists.
Established in 1998, Niagara Landing Wine Cellars was the first winery to open in Niagara County, NY in over a decade and helped pave the way for what is now the Niagara Wine Trail, USA.
Niagara Landing Wine Cellars specializes in wines made from both native labrusca grapes and European vinifera varietals. Our award-winning wines range from the smooth and fruity Boxer Blush to our rich and full Cabernet Sauvignon.
A visit to our winery offers a warm welcome, wine tasting with winery tours by appointment. Take a moment to browse in our wine gift shop and gallery, featuring works by local artists, and test your knowledge of little known facts about the Niagara region and its daredevils.
In season, our garden offers fresh herbs to further compliment your dining pleasure. Venture off the beaten path to take advantage of this quaint respite and wine for every occasion. We look forward to meeting you at Niagara Landing Wine Cellars.
