I recently celebrated my birthday with an extraordinary experience at Konzelmann Vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and I must say it was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped into the Vineyard Dome, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the sprawling grape fields and the tranquil waters beyond. It was a truly picturesque setting that instantly transported us to a world of serenity and natural beauty.

Craig's expertise shone through as he artfully paired these wines with delectable treats, elevating our wine experience to new heights. The combination of flavors was nothing short of divine, leaving us with a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of wine and food pairing.
As our time in the Vineyard Dome came to an end, Craig ensured that our journey didn't stop there. He arranged for us to continue our wine-filled adventure at another stunning spot on the vineyard, allowing us to relax and savor the remaining wines at our own leisure. This thoughtful gesture truly demonstrated Craig's attentiveness and dedication to ensuring our celebration was nothing short of extraordinary.

Read moreWe had a really great time at Konzelmann. We did a tasting and we were helped by Shawn. Shawn was a fantastic staff member, very enthusiastic and personable. We really enjoyed our tasting with him. However, I need to mention that a staff member who is at the reception area of the winery named Megan came over during our tasting two times asking if we were done here. You could tell that it was busy and she wanted us to leave so she could fill our spot with someone else. Unfortunately, they seemed understaffed at the winery that day, and Shawn was the only person serving all of the tastings at the time, and we had about five minutes between each wine that was poured for us while he entertained other guests, which was not in our control. The first time Megan came over we said we still had some more tastings to do. The second time Megan came over and said are you guys almost done here, we typically allot only 15 minutes per tasting? We were taken aback at how pushy she was and then reminded her that we are not in control of how fast our wine is poured for our tastings, and we are still waiting for another tasting to be done. She was very rude. Did not apologize for being pushy towards us at all. She just went with her day. She made us feel rushed and unwelcome. I came for a tasting a few weeks prior with a different friend and had a very similar experience with Megan, where she was very rude and unwelcoming. I felt that she was watching us like a hawk when we went to use the washroom. After being treated like that by the receptionist, I do not want to return and I won’t be...
