From Toronto
Travel west on the QEW past St. Catharines and over the Skyway bridge. Exit at 38B (Road 55) and follow the road through the town of Vergil to the main intersection of Mississauga and Mary Street. Road 55 becomes Mississauga Street at this intersection. At the intersection, do not drive through but turn left onto Mary Street. Continue driving along Mary and eventually Mary becomes Lakeshore Rd. As you continue driving along Lakeshore Road you will notice small private roads on your left with little green signs stating Firelane 1, then Firelane 2, etc. You are looking for Firelane 11. It is a short five minutes out of town and you will pass the award winning wineries: Sunnybrook Farm Estate Winery, Strewn Winery, Konzelmann Winery and Palatine Hills Estate Winery. Just past Palatine Hills is a 45 degree bend in the road and just at the bend is Firelane 11, turn right onto Firelane 11 and drive a few seconds to the lake. As you see the lake you will notice a small white private bridge on your left, cross the bridge and The Grange is the big house up on the hill. Pass the first gates which are service gates and enter at the main gates and white columns. We will be waiting to greet you.
From Toronto (alternate, quicker route)
If you prefer to bypass old town Niagara-on-the-Lake you can exit at St. Catharines. At St. Catharines, watch for the Ontario Street exit, then Lake Street, and then Niagara Street. At Ontario, start to get into the right lane as the Niagara Street exit comes up quickly. Exit at the Niagara Street Exit and stay to the right veering up the hill to the lights and Niagara Street. Driving up the hill, keep left and make a left hand turn at the lights onto Niagara. Follow Niagara Street all the way to Lakeshore Rd. Niagara St. ends at Lakeshore. Turn right and follow Lakeshore over the historic Welland Canal bridge. Continue along Lakeshore and watch for the Quiet Acres Fruitstand. Just past the actual Fruitstand is a big bend in the road. Keep on Lakeshore coming out of the bend and into the straightaway. At the end of the straightaway Lakeshore goes into a second bend with a small private road extending straight off the straightaway. This is Firelane 11. Turn onto (left) Firelane 11 and drive a few seconds to the lake. As you see the lake you will notice a small white private bridge on your left, cross the bridge and The Grange is the big house up on the hill. Pass the first gates which are service gates and enter at the main gates and white columns. We will be waiting to greet you.
Note: We are very simple to find. The Firelanes are private roads and begin at old town Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Firelanes are on your right only and count Firelane #1, 2, 3, etc.
If you are traveling from Niagara-on-the-Lake old town and you find yourself at Firelane # 12, you have driven one Firelane too many.
If you come across the Welland Canal draw bridge on Lakeshore Rd., the Firelanes are on your left. If driving along from the canal you start to see Firelanes # 10, 9, 8, etc., you have passed us. In these instances, simply turn into a winery or green house and turn around. The Firelanes can be a few seconds apart or a minute or so.
