A Luxurious Vineyard Escape in the Heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake
If you’ve been dreaming about a wedding that feels like a destination without ever leaving Ontario, Stone Eagle Winery is a name you’ll be hearing a lot more. Nestled in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake, this new vineyard venue is redefining what luxury in wine country looks like.
Owned by the same visionary family behind Two Sisters Vineyards and 11th Post on Queen, Stone Eagle brings together the very best of Niagara hospitality — award-winning wines, world-class food, and an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply welcoming.
I had the chance to attend the recent vendor open house and photograph the space while I was there. It’s safe to say this will be one of the most talked-about venues in Niagara. The event was designed and styled by Rachel A. Clingen, whose floral artistry and design work are as elegant as they are romantic. Seeing her work within the space made it easy to imagine the kinds of weddings that will unfold here: modern, elevated, and completely unforgettable.

Every inch of this property feels intentional — from the sweeping architecture to the panoramic vineyard views. The setting is luxurious yet warm, and the service is everything you’d expect from the team behind Two Sisters and 11th Post on Queen.
What makes Stone Eagle special is how seamlessly it blends elegance, hospitality, and convenience. When you arrive, everything you need for the weekend is right there. You can host your rehearsal dinner at 11th Post, welcome guests with a private wine tasting, exchange vows on the veranda as the sun sets, and dance the night away in the Grand Ballroom, all within the same estate.
For couples traveling from Toronto, this venue offers that coveted destination wedding feeling without ever crossing a border. Your guests can enjoy a full weekend immersed in wine country — vineyard tours, fine dining, and strolls through historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, all within minutes of the property.
Planners will love the flow of the space too. The veranda transitions effortlessly into the ballroom, making it perfect for ceremonies, cocktail hours, or late-night gatherings. Every room is designed to celebrate natural light, thoughtful details, and the joy of bringing people together.
Photography Highlights
From a photographer’s perspective, Stone Eagle is pure inspiration. The way the afternoon light spills across the vineyards is magic. The covered veranda offers soft, even lighting for ceremonies and portraits, while the open rows of vines create a cinematic backdrop for sunset sessions.
Inside, the Grand Ballroom’s clean architecture and neutral tones photograph beautifully, letting your florals, décor, and fashion take center stage. Whether you lean modern and sleek or romantic and whimsical, the space adapts perfectly to your vision.
Because I’ve photographed many weddings and events with the same ownership group, I know their commitment to service and guest experience means I can focus on what I do best, capturing you, your people, and every emotion of the day without interruption or stress.
