(Niagara Falls, ON) September 15, 2025 – Fallsview Casino Resort is proud to share that two of its signature restaurants— the elegant 21 Club Steak & Seafood and the fine Italian dining experience at Ponte Vecchio have been recognized in Wine Spectator’s 2025 Restaurant Awards for their exceptional wine programs. Both restaurants earned the Best of Award of Excellence, recognizing their commitment to outstanding wine programs. Each venue offers a carefully curated list of approximately 600 wines, featuring a diverse selection from top regions and vintages around the world.
“We’re extremely proud to be recognized by Wine Spectator, not only for our dedication in showcasing the best of our International and Domestic wines, but this has been a very special time to celebrate our Canadian wines!” said Richard Taylor, President of Niagara Casinos. “Our wine programs place a strong emphasis on VQA Ontario selections, celebrating the exceptional quality of Niagara’s wine country alongside notable producers from British Columbia. Our local and international wines are guest favourites, with Canadian selections playing a central role in the experience.”
21 Club Steak & Seafood, known for its elegant setting and premium Canadian steaks, has received this award every year since 2006. Ponte Vecchio, offering refined Italian cuisine, has earned the honour annually since opening in 2010. Both restaurants feature rare vintages dating back to 1943 and exclusive wines from top producers, reinforcing Fallsview Casino’s status as a top destination for wine lovers. This year, both restaurants introduced the Sommelier Selection program. This program allows the sommelier and guests to explore curated wine pairings through a digital tablet experience. Wines are updated monthly based on popularity and are paired with recommended dishes to enhance the dining experience.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue celebrating our excellence in wine and sharing even more unforgettable experiences with our guests in the years to come.
