Konzelmann Estate Winery has a one-of-a-kind location, award-winning wines, and a range of wonderful tours. Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, it is the only lakefront winery in Niagara with a fabulous setting along the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Konzelmann’s 100+ Year Wine Lineage
Its history can dates back to Uhlbach in Germany where restaurateur Friederich Konzelmann decided to turn winemaker. He released his first vintage in 1893. Much later, the family tradition continued with Herbert Konzelmann who set his sights on the bountiful and beautiful lands of Ontario, Canada.

In 1984, he found a picture-perfect location along Lake Ontario in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Konzelmann realised that the area’s wonderful terroir and microclimate would provide the ideal conditions to produce aromatic, flavoursome wines. From here began a journey of cultivating grape varietals that produced outstanding wines.
