I joined a friend for a tasting yesterday and was highly impressed by George and Kerissa’s knowledge about the wine. I was walked through the correct way to taste wine and was amazed to find a new favourite! The empress, sparkling champagne is a must try for your next visit! Thankyou so much Reif, can’t wait to be back😊Hey! Thank you so much for the review! Both George and Kerissa had a great time with you and your friend! The Empress is definitely delicious and great way to refresh yourself!

He suggested fantastic wines that I would never have picked on my own (we left with a bottle of each) and provided interesting information throughout. Best wine tasting experience in a wonderful atmosphere.Amazing! Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed yourself! Herb also had a great time!

- 22travel2xKent, Ohio127 contributionsA Splendid AfternoonI have to say that sometimes your experience at a particular place has a lot to do with circumstance. We visited Reif mid afternoon, mid week, during the off season. We know what we like in a wine so we just ordered a couple of glasses and began to chat with the gentleman behind the bar. Because they weren't busy, we chatted the afternoon away. We talked wine, travel, cars, places we lived, family and who knows what else. We has a really fun afternoon. And the wine was pretty darn good too. Excellent enough to stick around for hours. Had they been busy, this may be a different story. But go for the wine anyways.Hey there! Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time here at Reif and we hope you visit again!Written 19 April 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 April 2023
- Derek C1 contributionAmazing service! Beautiful winesAna was absolutely amazing in guiding the wine tasting for us. I came with a bachelor party this time and was not disappointed. As a wine club member, I haven’t been back for two years and she reaffirmed my decision to join. You should too!Hey there! Thank you so much for the kind words! Ana had a great time with you guys as well.

- RoseFranklin, Massachusetts68 contributionsA lot of funAlana was so much fun to taste with. We lucked out and walked in without a reservation, it was a quiet afternoon, so we were able to taste without a problem. I love when the pourer suggestion wines that we haven't tried. Next time we will try a blind tasting in black glasses.Hey there! We're thrilled you had a great time at Reif! We look forward to having you join us again soon!Written 24 April 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2023Written 21 April 2023
- Samuel L2 contributionsWow, so fun!Kerissa served us during our wine tasting and was a lot of fun! While she was new to providing wine tastings, she made the experience enjoyable with her friendly and bubbly personality. We also learned about the owner Klaus, a 13th generation wine maker who is German and doesn't appreciate dad jokes. Overall, we had a great time at the winery and would recommend it.Visited April 2023Written 27 April 2023
- Dave HBeaver, Pennsylvania278 contributionsEnjoyable TastingWe consider ourselves to be wine snobs. Wines from Canada are not typically our favorite wines to drink. But tasting wine is more than just drinking. It is the interaction with those around you and the host/hostess. That is where Reif gets 5-stars. Our hostess Guillia was exceptional. When someone like her is serving you wine, you want to buy the wine. We bought several bottles of the Vinea -- very similar to Port. Although Reif was busy with a large crowd that day, Guillia took time to give us a great tasting experience.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 May 2023
- Emily JHouston, Texas4 contributionsWonderful ExperienceMy husband and I went for a wine tasting at Reif and Kerissa was so personable and attentive. She was funny and helped me decide on wines with my favorite being the Dornfelder. We will definitely come back the next time we visit NOTL and hope to see Kerissa again!Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 May 2023
- MeishellePiqua, Ohio7 contributionsGreat vidal ice wineWe enjoyed our stop here, and Kerissa made the experience fun and engaging! We liked Reif’s vidal ice wine the best among the several others we’ve tried in the region. The atmosphere was lovely and inviting.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 May 2023
- Stevie1 contributionFantastic TourWe came here as part of a wine tour and our experience was FANTASTIC!!!! All of the wines that we tasted were great, but the highlight of our experience was our tour guide, Meghan. She went above and beyond with making us feel welcomed, teaching us so much about the wine making process and recommending great wines for us to try out. It was so interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of how the wines are made. We will definitely be back again :)Visited June 2023Written 8 June 2023

Herb was a wonderful host. His knowledge of wine history from the grapes in Germany to the many vines in Niagara was outstanding. Wines were delicious and service great.

A group of 5 of us arrived at Reif Estate Winery on Saturday around 430pm. We didn't have reservations, but our wine consultant, Olivia, was able to accommodate us. She skillfully took us each through our tasting selections and advised us on what to expect from each. She offered recommendations based on our preferences and offered her favourites as well. The Grand Tasting Bar is beautiful, the wines, of course, are amazing ('Stars' and 'Vinea' are my new favorites!), and the grounds are quaint and welcoming, but Olivia's enthusiasm and knowledge was what really set this experience apart for me.
