Vines, Blooms & Good Wine: The Vineyard Collection Just Got Even Better
Floral design, Niagara wine, seasonal blooms, and a beautiful winery setting — honestly, it’s kind of the perfect summer evening.
Where Flowers Meet the Vineyard
There are few things more quintessentially Niagara than a golden summer evening in wine country. The rolling vines, the warm air, the clinking of glasses — and now, you can add a gorgeous floral arrangement to that picture too. The Watering Can’s Vineyard Collection workshops bring together two of life’s greatest pleasures: the art of floral design and the pleasure of Niagara’s world-class wine, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the region’s finest wineries.
These aren’t your average flower classes. The Vineyard Collection is an experience — an evening out that happens to leave you with a stunning bouquet in hand and a warm glow in your heart. Each workshop is intimate, expertly guided, and rooted in the same warmth and passion that has defined The Watering Can for over 25 years in Niagara.
Welcome to the Family: Thirty Bench Wine Makers
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Thirty Bench Wine Makers has joined The Vineyard Collection lineup for this season. Tucked into the Beamsville Bench — one of Ontario’s most celebrated wine sub-appellations — Thirty Bench is known for producing some of the region’s most acclaimed Rieslings and Bordeaux-style reds. Their property is intimate, rooted in terroir, and dripping with the kind of character that makes for an unforgettable evening out.
Pair that atmosphere with The Watering Can’s signature floral instruction, a glass (or two) of exceptional Niagara wine, and a room full of people who came to have a genuinely good time — and you’ve got yourself one of the summer’s best nights out. Whether you’re an experienced arranger or someone who’s never held a pair of floral shears in your life, these workshops are designed for you. All materials are provided, all guidance is warm and hands-on, and all evenings end with both a beautiful creation and a full heart.
The Vineyard Collection workshops are selling out fast. Several dates are already gone — if there’s a winery or evening you’ve been eyeing, now is the moment to claim your spot before it disappears.
What to Expect on the Night
If you’ve never attended a Watering Can workshop before, here’s what you’re in for: a fully guided, hands-on floral experience led by our talented team of designers, set inside one of Niagara’s most beautiful winery venues. Everything you need is waiting for you when you arrive — fresh seasonal blooms, quality tools, and all the instruction you could ever want. The wine flows. The conversation flows. And by the end of the evening, you’ll have created something genuinely beautiful with your own two hands.
- All skill levels welcome — Whether you’re a seasoned arranger or a total beginner, our guides meet you exactly where you are. No experience necessary — just enthusiasm.
- All materials included — Fresh seasonal blooms, quality vessels, and professional floral tools are all provided. Just show up ready to create.
- Stunning winery settings — Each workshop is hosted at one of Niagara’s premier wineries, so the ambiance does a lot of the heavy lifting before you even pick up a stem.
- Wine is part of the evening — Sip and snip. Our Vineyard Collection evenings are designed to be social, relaxed, and genuinely fun.
- Take your arrangement home — You leave with the bouquet you made yourself — a souvenir from a beautiful evening that will brighten your home all week.
“I came not knowing a single thing about flowers and left with an arrangement I was genuinely proud of — and a new favourite winery. The Vineyard Collection is the most fun I’ve had on a summer evening in Niagara.”
A Summer Rooted in Niagara
The Vineyard Collection is more than a workshop series — it’s a celebration of everything that makes Niagara special. This region has long been one of Canada’s most extraordinary places to grow things: the moderating influence of Lake Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment, and the rich soils of the Beamsville Bench give us both extraordinary wine grapes and an incredible growing season for blooms. In growing zone 6b, our summers are generous — warm enough to coax both lush florals and ripe Riesling grapes to their peak, with long evenings perfectly suited for exactly this kind of gathering.
At The Watering Can, we’ve always believed that flowers belong everywhere life is beautiful — at the table, in the home, and yes, in a vineyard on a warm summer night. The Vineyard Collection is our love letter to this region and to everyone who chooses to spend their summer evenings with us.
