Niagara Wine Country & Vineyard Tour

9 hrs · From $239 CAD per person

About this tour

Niagara is Canada's premier wine region — home to more than 90 VQA wineries and the world's largest producer of ice wine. This tour pairs four hand-picked estates with a vineyard-view lunch and a stop at the Falls themselves, so you get the full Niagara day without missing the headline attraction. We rotate between boutique family estates and award-winning houses (Peller, Trius, Inniskillin, Jackson-Triggs, Two Sisters, Konzelmann) depending on availability and vintage — and your guide adjusts the order so you taste light to bold, dry to sweet, finishing with ice wine.

FAQ

How much wine will I actually drink?

Tastings are 1–1.5 oz pours; across four estates that's roughly two-thirds of a bottle spread over the day, plus whatever you order at lunch. You're never rushed, and dump buckets are always available.

I don't drink — is this tour worth it?

Honestly, it's better suited to wine drinkers, but the vineyards, food, cellar tour, and Falls stop still make a great day. We can swap tastings for non-alcoholic flights (grape juice, sparkling tea) at most estates if you let us know at booking.

Can I buy wine and take it home?

Yes. Every estate ships within Canada, and we have space on the bus for personal purchases. Cross-border shipping (US/UK/EU) is also available from most estates.

Is lunch dietary-friendly?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and most allergies are accommodated with 48 hours notice at booking.

Can this be booked privately?

Yes — same itinerary in a private SUV (1–4 guests) or Sprinter (5–10) is available; ask for a quote.
