Just downstream from the mist and roar of Niagara Falls—one of the natural wonders of the world—a small, century old peach packing barn has been refurbished by the winery's owners, Karen and Jamie, into a cozy winery, that produces only Icewine, and every visitor is welcomed like an old friend. The Ice House Winery holds a unique position in the wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake. It is the only winery that exclusively makes Icewine. That’s right. This winery is totally dedicated to making and perfecting, “Canada’s liquid gold.” Winemaker, Jamie Macfarlane is committed to creating the highest quality Icewine in the world. Jamie decided the way to achieve this lofty goal was to dedicate 100% of his time to the making and mastering Icewine. Macfarlane says Icewine is like classical music. He sees it as complex, intense, harmonious and balanced with an indescribable “Wow” factor. The Ice House makes a limited supply of Icewine and is the proud recipient of 3 International Monde Selection Grand Gold Medals. The best Ice wine Grand Gold Monde Selection medal is the highest honour rarely accorded to a wine and The Ice House is the only winery to have been awarded this honour for its Premium Icewine. To achieve it three times is remarkable. Jamie's crisp “toasting style” of Icewine and Karen's sensory knowledge is making The Ice House famous for their innovative food pairings and N’Ice Slushies. Icewine may be seen as one of the most elegant and luxurious of wine, yet without the dedication of a small group of winemakers this concentrated elixir could never be created. Niagara is considered the best cool climate appellation in the world for Icewine.
