Ansley Sparkling Terrace Secrets

Niagara Wine Country Experiences

If you’ve visited us at Riverbend during the summer season, there’s a very good chance you’ve already experienced the pure bliss of soaking up one of Niagara’s most picturesque vineyard views. The Ansley Sparkling Terrace, however, offers so much more than just a pretty view! Here are a few insider secrets to keep in mind for your next visit.

Secret #1: A One-Stop Shop For Niagara’s Best Bubbles

Why drive from winery to winery in search of Niagara’s most celebrated sparkling wines when you can sip an award-winning selection on one picture-perfect patio? Current choices on our sparkling menu include Trius Brut Rosé, Peller Estates Signature Series Ice Cuvée, and 13th Steet Winery’s Grand Cuvée Blanc de Noir, 2016.

Secret #2: Best-In-Class Bubbles Inspire Incredible Sparkling Cocktails

The bubbles at our bar offer endless inspiration for our expert mixologists! Sip on the Sparkling Icewine Cocktail, a harmonious blend of Peller Estates Cabernet Franc Icewine, Trius Brut, and a luscious Amareno Cherry. Try the refreshing Sweet Pear Fizz, featuring Spirit in Niagara Pear Eau De Vie, pear nectar, and Trius Brut. Indulge in the Empress 75, a captivating concoction of Empress Gin, zesty lemon juice, and Trius Brut.

Secret #3: Just The Right Bites To Pair With Your Bubbly

From briny oysters on the half shell to citrusy marinated olives and succulent shrimp cocktail, our culinary team has created a carefully curated menu of shareable plates that will elevate your sparkling wine experience to an all-new level.

Secret #4: An Homage To Our History

Our Sparkling Terrace is named after the Ansley sisters, whose visionary spirit continues to inspire. In 1927, the sisters transformed this very property into a school for young boys with disabilities, creating a nurturing environment for their mental and social development. The warmth and love these dedicated women shared with those in their care echoes through time.
