Casually Upscale in Every Detail

With Valentines Day approaching quickly, I'm sure you're searching for the perfect way to celebrate the special day with the one you love most. What could be a better way to enjoy the romantic holiday than with great food, a glass of wine (or two), and an endless number of fun-filled attractions guaranteed to bring you and your significant other closer together? If that sounds like your kind of holiday, then Valentine's Day in Niagara Falls is the perfect destination for you.

Make It An Overnight Stay

If you're coming from out of town - not to worry. Niagara Falls is filled with beautiful hotels located right in the heart of the city, and many with a beautiful view of the falls. If smaller establishments are more your style, then there are also a number of inns as well. The quaint Bed & Breakfast district along the Niagara River Gorge is only a 10 minute walk from Weinkeller's front door. Location is key, and if you plan to indulge in the many attractions our city has to offer, then accommodations will not be a problem!

A Romantic & Playful Stroll Through Niagara

Speaking of attractions, once you've found the perfect place to stay then finding things to do will be the least of your worries. Enjoy the view from Clifton Hill, day or night, on the Niagara Skywheel, or stroll along the parkway and take in the beautiful scenery of the Falls and the nature surrounding them. Meander down Clifton Hill and choose from a number of fun or haunted houses, indoor mini golf, bars, and amazing sweet treats ranging from homemade fudge to fresh funnel cakes. The choices and fun are endless!

Looking to dine away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded tourist district? When you reserve your table at  Weinkeller, request to be seated at our Hidden Garden Patio. 

Tucked away from the noise of the street, this is one of our best kept secrets.

Our Hidden Garden Patio is a secluded spot that is private, comfortable and accessible.

Enjoy the frangrance of fresh flowers and herbs as you wine and dine under the stars. Open seasonally, it is the ideal place to enjoy long summer days and lingering summer nights. 

One of the things that our guests love most about dining al fresco at Weinkeller is that you can chat with our chefs as they gather fresh-picked herbs for their culinary creations. 

Whether you're here for a romantic dinner or with a group, this is the perfect place to reconnect with those you cherish.

Many thanks to The Niagara Local for the delightful photos in this post.

At Weinkeller, we take our quest for freshness seriously. So when Scott Epp invited us out to tour his farm in Niagara-on-the-Lake, we couldn't resist.

Scott is a 4th generation farmer, walking in the footsteps of his father Edward and his grandfather Abe. His farm on Concession 2 in Niagara-on-the-Lake grows a variety of vegetables, greens, stone-fruits and herbs for a select group of Niagara's restaurants.

With the kids fresh out of school for the summer, it was only natural that they joined us for the day to see where our food comes from. With families (including the dog, Bentley!) in tow,  Chris, Chris & Rob  walked along the dusty roadway the meanders through the farm.

Scott showed us baby zucchini, freshly picked baby kale and a fascinating assortment of squash blossoms that would likely be on someone’s plate that evening.

How This Summer's Weather Is Affecting The Farm

It was exciting to watch as Rob, Chris and Scott talked about how this summer's hot, dry conditions were affecting what was growing now and what would be ready soon.

We learned from Scott about the measures that he takes to conserve water during this growing season. The biodegradable black plastic you see below the plants keeps the water in near the roots where it is needed the most.

Seasonal Ingredients Picked At The Peak Of Freshness

As many of our regulars know, we enjoy sourcing fresh, local ingredients from our local farming community.

Seasonal ingredients selected at the peak of freshness is one secret to our tasty dishes. Our chef Rob talks frequently with farmers like Scott, because what they tell us helps to set the menu - if cherries or tiny French Breakfast radishes are plentiful, expect to see them on your plate!

We Are Growing Here At Weinkeller, Too!

In addition to sourcing from local farms, we also love to grow our ingredients as much as we can, ourselves.

You may have noticed we have an assortment of herbs and heirloom tomatoes on our Hidden Garden Patio.
