During the month of January, the Niagara wine region celebrates one of Canada’s most famous drinks: Ontario Icewine. Throughout this month, Niagara Falls hosts several festivals and events dedicated to the winter's most festive drink. Niagara Icewine Festival features over 30 local wineries showcasing their best products. Some of the most notable wineries are: 13th Street Winery, Creekside Estate Winery, Fielding Estate Winery, and Flat Rock Cellars.
