Lailey Winery — Attraction in Niagara-on-the-Lake

My Husband and I are from a small town in Western Maryland, USA. We visited your Winery, June 1, 2013 on our Honeymoon. This was our "First Real Visit" to Canada. Neither of us even thought about International Border Restrictions on Alcohol. I found your 2011 Cab Merlot to be one of the "Best Tasting Wines that I've ever Tasted!" Once we got home we realized that for such a special occasion, we should get online and order more for special anniversaries... :-( I found out that this wine is not available to be shipped into the US. I wish that sometime during our wine tasting, or during our purchasing process, the salesperson might have asked where we were from, we did mention that it was our Honeymoon! After finding out that it was a special occasion... or that we were from the US, a great selling point would have been to mention that we would not be able to order this wine online. I would have found out how to send it home or bought enough for Special, Future Anniversaries. I guess we'll just have to visit again, or find someone that will be visiting! Thank you so much for this truly "Fantastic Tasting Memory" and for making it so hard for me to try to stay away from...

A few years back I had an unfortunate incident with somebody from Lailey's Winery while travelling along the Niagara Parkway. This fellow, who I since learned was a "management" person at Lailey's, flipped me off because I was travelling too slow for him and he raised his middle finger as he zoomed past me and then quickly turned into the winery driveway. At the time I owned one of the larger B&Bs in the town and it surprised both my wife and I that someone in the tourist industry would display this kind of ignorance and lack of respect for a tourist.....since he had no idea I wasn't. I informed a number of others within the B&B industry about the callous and low-brow behaviour he showed toward strangers and for many years we made sure our B&B guests gave this winery a miss. Too many businesses here feel that there are enough tourists around that they can treat them anyway...

Recently visited Lailey on a wine tour. The glasses Staff we received were dirty and tasted like detergent (as well as other guests on the tour were complaining of this). For a wine sample we received only two types and pours with very small. Both wines we tasted were horrible (with multiple guests joking that tasting the detergent was a blessing which shielded us from the wine).

Staff were unwelcoming and appeared uninterested in making the visit fun, nor were they interested in selling wine. My mother had bought 6 bottles at the previous winery we were at - she attempted to ask questions about the wine to the staff but after receiving an unfriendly response she decided it wasn't worth trying to spend money at Lailey.

Of the 4 wineries we visited, this was by far the worst and is by far the worst I've...
