They also sell infused syrups (like smokey spiced maple syrup) but don't offer tasting of those.
The Maple Leaf Place plaza, along the Niagara River Parkway, has a new shop which still maple syrup and other goodies.
They offer maple syrup tasting which is a nice touch. They give you a "flight" of shot glasses with golden, amber and dark syrups. It's cool to taste these side-by-side and really appreciate the differences.

The space where this store is located used to have a glass shop, where you could watch live glass blowing. It's unfortunate that the glass shop is gone. I really liked going in there.

That sounds like a cool way to learn the differences of the syrups out there.

The difference between the really light and dark syrups is pretty huge.

First time I tasted really maple syrup was when I was doing a notarization (I'm a notary) for a family, and as an appreciative gift, he gave me 2 bottle from that year's first run plus honey from his hives. Absolutely the best!

Oh wow! That's a nice gift. If it was from their first run of the season, in guessing that it was a fairly light syrup.
- Debbie Thomas
Yes, but good just the same!
- Doug Salomon
May I ask where you grew up, and had not ever had maple syrup?
- Debbie Thomas
I'm in Massachusetts and after all New England, its one of the things the area is kniwn for. This was the first time I had gotten it directly from someone's farm.

It was a nice surprise too. I didn't even know the store was there.
