Spring into Fun: Fête’s Upcoming Events
Spring is here, summer is right around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s our favourite season where everything comes to life—the landscapes around us, the experiences we create. This year, we have a unique mix of fresh, new events and well-loved annual events that are returning once again. From immersive pop-ups, vibrant outdoor gatherings, and unforgettable moments, these events are fashioned to celebrate connection, creativity, and community.
With so much on the horizon, we can’t wait to welcome you out to enjoy everything we’ve been dreaming up for the months ahead. Here’s a peek at what’s ahead in the upcoming months:

4. Graze the Bench
Graze the Bench is one of the most anticipated highlights of the season—and for good reason! Each spring, 7 wineries along the Beamsville Bench come together to showcase their latest and most loved vintages, paired with dishes from Niagara’s best chefs and live bands at each stop. Set against the striking backdrop of the Beamsville Bench, this is a one-of-a-kind experience that blends incredible wine, food, and atmosphere into an unmissable day.

5. International Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration
This three day event, often called i4C, is a premier wine event held annually in Niagara. It gathers local and international winemakers, sommeliers, and enthusiasts to celebrate cool-climate Chardonnay through educational seminars, grand tastings, and winery-hosted dinners.
