VINES PLAY TASTING LOUNGE
Gathering at the Table

Welcome

Tonight’s wines are chosen through a passionate lens of people, practice, and product, honoring how producers care for their teams, respect the land, and ultimately how the wine feels and delights at the table.

The Pairings

Soup & Fish
Wine: Field Blenders White — Nyarai Cellars
Selected for its layered texture and natural acidity, this wine mirrors the silkiness of the opening courses while refreshing the palate and carrying spice cleanly through the finish.

Meat
Wine: Gamay — Malivoire
Soft tannins and lively acidity balance the richness of slow-braised meats, lifting savory depth while respecting the dish’s aromatic, brothy character.

Dessert / Finish
Wine: Sparkling Surprise
Fine bubbles and crisp acidity refresh the palate, lifting the final course with brightness and delicate fruit notes.

Featured Winery: Nyarai Cellars

Nyarai Cellars is the only Black-owned winery in Niagara. Rooted in sustainability and community, the winery crafts expressive, food-driven wines that reflect both place and purpose.
