Niagra on the Lake- Ravine Winery
Located just across the Canadian border sits Niagara on the Lake; a picturesque little town filled with all sorts of quaint shops, gorgeous parks and surrounded by a ton of wineries, one of which is Ravine Vineyard. This 34 acre winery also houses a gorgeous organic restaurant overlooking the hillside. The menu changes daily based on fresh ingredients from neighboring farms and their own certified organic garden. Last visit began with an Heirloom Tomato Salad with Prosciutto...
...followed by a toothsome Hand-cut Penne with Smoked Ham Hock...
...and a Margarita Pizza from their wood fired oven.

It was only lunchtime but any meal with my family is an excuse for dessert so we ordered all three! Pistachio White Chocolate Cake with berry compote and whipped creme fraiche...
...Pecan Financiers with milk chocolate mousse and apricot curd...
...and a Chocolate Raspberry Panna Cotta.
Everything was phenomenal from start to finish; the pasta being the standout dish for it's surprisingly deep smokey flavor.
Ravine offers tours and tastings in it's shop next door or you can just head outside after lunch for a free tasting under the beautiful blue skies of Canada.
