Niagara College

Just in time for Ontario Wine Week, Niagara College's Teaching Winery is raising a glass to international and provincial acclaim. 🍾🏅

Most notably, Niagara College secured a Decanter World Wine Awards Gold for its Dean’s List Blanc de Blancs (2019) and an Ontario Wine Awards double gold for its Dean’s List Blanc de Noirs (2019). The double gold win automatically qualifies the wine for the prestigious 2026 Lieutenant Governor Award for Excellence in Ontario Wines.
