I cannot thank Rich enough for the fantastic time he showed us (and a half dozen other pairs of…read moredrinkers) on our tour recently. I've been on quite a few wine tours over the years, and it does take a certain personality to be able to do it well - but Rich was able to entertain AND be personable. He was professional AND endearing. He was always engaged in what we thought of each stop, and his relationship with the people at the breweries/distilleries/wineries seemed genuine. And whether it was him or just the smaller size, It honestly felt like we were treated better, being a part of Rich's group, then being in a group of 50 coming off a tour bus.   The stops were all great. I had some reservations about a few, but was honestly able to find something I loved at each location. Not to mention, the price is extremely competitive with all of the other tours I was researching. The van we were in was even fancy and brand new. If you're looking for something just a little different than your standard wine tour, I cannot recommend them enough.

Cellar Door offers 3 types of tours - lunch, dinner and bachelorette/ special occasions tours. The tour also offers pickup from your hotel or location of choice (within the Niagara region), and my husband and I got picked up at the Outlet Collection of Niagara at 10:30am and was dropped by off around 5pm. I know the website says that the lunch tour is about 4 hours, but that probably didn't include the travel or pickup/ drop off times. We were a small group of 8 and the spacious van with its high ceilings can easily accommodate twice that many people. In fact, the day before, they had 2 vans out for a group of over 30 people. Our drive Tim was kind and informative. He gave us info about the surrounding area, told us about how grapes are harvested and answered any questions that we had. He offered his hand to those who needed help getting on and off the hand. There were umbrellas in the van if we needed them and bottled water to keep us hydrated. I have a feeling that Tim knew more about the wine, wine making process and about the different wineries than the people who actually served us at the wine tastings. We were at our first winery around 11am and everyone was ready to get their drink on. You cannot pick with winery the group gets to visit - Cellar Door will arrange all that and as Tim said, they like to support the little guys (as the larger wineries sell their wines at the LCBO). The 4 wineries that we visited are as follows: Marynissen Estates, Bella Terra (very pretty setup inside, see posted pictures), Pilliteri (mid-sized winery) and Riverview. At each winery tasting, we were given 4 samples - white, red, sometimes a rose, then were always finished off with a red or white ice wine (my favourite part of the tasting). I like my wines on the sweeter side, so don't be scared to speak up and the server can accommodate to your pallet. I am aging myself now, but I remember when wine tastings at Niagara-on-the-Lake used to be complimentary, as long you purchase the wine. Nowadays, the going rate is $20 for 4 samples. Some wineries were more generous with their pours, others were all over the place (one glass had more than the other). Some servers were more animated and provided more information compared to others who ran away as soon as they poured you the wine. My ranking from the best overall experience (customer service plus wine) are: 1. Bella Terra, 2. Pilliteri, 3. Marynissen, 4. Riverview. I almost forgot to mentioned that with the lunch tour, you can a very very small sample of cheese, salami and olives at our second stop (Bella Terra), then a large stone baked pizza to share between people at Pilliteri. The pizza was excellent that there were probably 10 varieties to choose from. You can walk directly to Barrelhead and other from their menu without having to be on a winery tour or have an interest in wine. My husband and I easily finished the prosciutto and mushroom pizza, the crust was very thin. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by to check out the other items on their menu. Pilliteri also sold baskets of grapes, honey, jams, and maple syrup - perfect to take home or gift as souvenirs. So there you have it, a 5-star review for Tim, I mean, Cellar Door tour. At $159 per person (transportation, 4 winery tours, mini cheese/ham sample, pizza), it is quite a steal if you want to just sit back and let someone else do the driving.

I cannot say enough great things about Discovery Tours and our guide for the day, Tim…read more We stopped in the area for the day on our way to Toronto and decided to do the Undiscovered Winery Tour...we couldn't be more happy with our decision. Our guide Tim picked us up at the Fallsview Casino, which was convenient for us, before we picked up one more group of 2. The small group of us (4 plus Tim) was just the right size. Tim was very knowedgeable both about wine and the Niagra region. He took the time to get to know each of us and what tastes were like in wine. We stopped at 4 wineries (all were equally delicious, although I'd have to say my favorite was the red Ice Wine from Vineland) and each time Tim brought us inside, introduced us to the staff, and helped offer suggestions based on what he had learned about us. We also learned the proper way to taste at our very first stop. This was a welcome change from other tours we have done in the past where the tour bus simply stops in the parking lot while you go inside, sample, then come out when you are ready to leave. This was much more personable and made for an excellent tour experience. In addition to the 4 wineries we stopped at the Upper Canada Cheese company to sample their fine cheeses, as well as stopped mid-day in Jordan Village for lunch. The tour was well structured and you had plenty of time to shop after each tasting as well if you wanted to (although none of the wineries/staff were pushy in any way whatsoever.) Overall it was a great day, great experience, and I would certainly consider other future tours with Discovery.

We stopped at two more locations to pick up other guests and then were on our way. We went to 4 wineries and had 3-5 tastings at each. With a stop for lunch and chocolate. The stops were all decent. Some better than others but overall a great variety. Our tour guide was friendly and informative. He did an excellent job of keeping everyone on schedule. I believe his name was Trevor. Overall a great bang for your buck. If you are looking for something fancier than you will have to pay at least double this price but if you are looking to see some wineries and spend a nice afternoon this is perfect.

And to this day, I still haven't heard a voice from anyone (Larry or Joseph) since 10:25 AM (5 minutes before my pick up time) the morning was what was supposed to be my tour. I had missed a call & voicemail message from Joseph at 10:15 AM asking me to give him a call, I just happened to call him at 10:25 to let them know my group and I were downstairs and waiting. At this point I am informed by Joseph that my driver had gotten into a fatal accident on her way to pick me up, and they he had tried 2 other drivers, but didn't have anyone to pick up my group. He then suggested while not suggesting that we drive ourselves, but we didn't have a car so that wasn't even an option. He tells me he is going to call me back in 10 minutes, he needed to try another driver and after waiting 30 minutes to no call back, I called him. That call and the 2 that immediately followed went to voicemail (that is not professionally set up at all). After the 3rd call I get a text message saying that he couldn't find a driver and would call me back shortly, which turned into I would not hear back from him until after 4PM which was a response to my call and text message at 2 PM. My WHOLE day, MY BIRTHDAY was ruined because this 5 1/2 hour tour was the plan for my birthday. I had to keep reaching out to Larry, who also was taking his sweet time to respond, but stated (in a text message) that the driver was in an accident but it wasn't life threatening. They didn't offer me an alternative OR a refund, I had to demand my refund, since everyone decided to stop communicating with me. I still have not be FULLY refunded. I have a dispute with my bank to get the balance that is still owed to me. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM....there is definitely something fishy going on with these two. They only get a star because I have to give at least one to post my review.

Did I mention that I had actually booked the tour for the wrong month and Mackenzie made the tour happen on the fly when he found out we were on the way?

I finally received a text from Cory to say he would be on time and then had the nerve to chastise me for checking up on him and told me to be patient.
