Had a great experience with my boyfriend recently while on holiday in Niagara. Jeremy, our driver, was hilarious & incredibly knowledgeable, both on wines & the area, being a local. We went to 4 separate wineries, all very different from the others, but all wonderful in their own ways. Would definitely book this tour again!

This is a must do excursion! We had a fabulous time with Phil our tour guide. We could not have asked for a better guide and highly recommend asking for him by name when you book. He was very knowledgeable on wine making and had a wonderful insight to share. He was patient and answered all our questions as he took us to Hinterbrook, Rambler-Run-Palatine Hills, Piliterri, and Pondview. Each vineyard had their own personality and style. We even had time to visit the Gretsky whisky distillery for a tasting. Yum.. The only critique I would say was to vary up the lunch restaurant. The Hob Nob at Charles Inn was good but a bit uppity for my tastes. Some thoughts: Change the light jazz music during lunch time. Too dull. Giving a broader choice for lunch menu would have been appreciated even if had an additional charge. After we ate, I checked out their typical lunch menu and there were a few items I would have really enjoyed. Salmon and duck... Thank you Niagara Vintage Wine tours!

We took a tour in November 2020 so during covid and they did a fantastic job. Everything was cleaned and operated smooth as silk. Chris, our driver was knowledgeable and great. We visited Nomad, Between the Lines and Pillitteri wineries. Nomad and between the lines were boutique and amazing experiences. The "charcuterie" was a let down as it was literally a tiny helping of cheese and two slices of meat and some cranberries. We at least needed some crackers or bread to soak up some alcohol as we weren't allowed to bring anything. Also, the Pillitteri winery was not good at all: walked in the front to have two 20 somethings argue about "who had to take this group", then the guy rushed around the tour, then poured a few glasses of awful wine and barely wanted to explain them while he swung his lanyard keys chain around waiting for us to leave. Overall I recommend. The tour if you are new to wine tours. Stay in Niagara on the lake: it's worth the extra money as Niagara Falls has crappy shopping or touring, other than the falls of course.

What an experience this was! It was my first time doing something like this, and for me it is quite a splurge, but I must say it is worth every penny. My boyfriend and I booked the epic culinary wine/beer tour. It's a day long tour (approximately 8 hours) and we went to 4 wineries and 1 brewery around the Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake region. They pick you up at your hotel/bnb as long as it's on their list. Check their list or call the tour office before booking your lodging just to make sure they pick up at that location. Our tour guide/driver was Gus and we had a total of 10 people on our tour. Gus was very knowledgeable and honest about the wines. He won't let you buy a bad bottle of wine. He knows how the grapes are grown, how the wine was made and is an amateur wine maker himself. Every winery we visited we were taken through each tasting by experts, some times owners of the wineries which was a plus because they definitely know what they're talking about. The foodie tour includes wine tasting as well as food pairings that compliment the wine/beer. You won't be hungry on this tour, but bring water because it is not provided, though the wineries usually do have water on hand anyway. I won't go into the specifics of each winery we went to because it does vary each time you book but my favorite of the wineries is Pond View, which seems to be a staple destination for each of their tours. Pondview offered us a wide variety of wines and each wine was paired with a different type of charcuterie/cheese. The most interesting and my favorite wine was the ice wine! It's a sweet tasting wine that's like a combo of liquor and honey. It was great when paired with the blue cheese offered at Pondview. And I got it as a shot in a chocolate shot glass ($5 extra). At each winery you're able to purchase any wines you may have liked. I of course would recommend the ice wine because it is definitely unique and make great gifts! Your tour guide has a box in the trunk of the van so you won't have to carry anything around. Each winery is totally different than the last, so you won't have any repetitive experiences. And for the foodie tour, you get a LOT of food! Some tips for your trip. Wear layers, we went in August and it was quite chilly. You can leave your jacket in the car if you don't need it. Wear comfortable shoes, you will be walking and be out and about with the grapes. Bring some cash to tip your tour guide (Canadian if you can but they accept American dollars too). Eat a good breakfast because you will get tipsy. Don't buy too much at the first winery because you have other wineries to visit! This was such a wonderful way to spend a day and I would definitely do this again in a heartbeat!

My experience is similar to the last reviewer- WOW! Great experience well worth the $$$. We attended the full day tour with lunch. We picked this tour based on the great review score on Tripadvisor- all true. +Andrea our tour director picked us up promptly as advised at the Old Stone Inn in Niagara Falls. The van is new, clean and modern. +Visited 4 wineries (Hinterbrook, Pillitteri Estates, Peller and Southbrook), my favorite being Rick's lesson at Hinterbrook and Pillitteri's Wine Cellar +We had plenty of tastings at least 3-4 different red, whites and sparklings. +Visited two wineries, then headed to lunch at the Oban Inn in Niagara on the Lake. Beautiful venue and the 3 course meal was FANTASTIC. Perfect afternoon, well worth the $$. NOTE: Wine or coffee is additional if consumed at lunch. + Last winery was Organic, very cool. The Connection Wine is smooth and delicious. Again. A lovely day in the Niagara on the Lake wine region, one I will not soon forget. If you're in the area, do not hesitate to book this tour it will not disappoint Happy Wining ;-) xoxo, ja

Chocolate ice wine. Yummy.

The tour was great and would highly recommend it. We did the half day tour which visited 3 wineries. It started at 11 and we were back at our hotel by 4:15. Our guide Harvey was amazing. A wealth of information, very personal and great sense of humour. Ask him about his bike riding adventures and you will be shocked. The wineries were good for the most part. I won't name the ones we liked more but some definitely take their wine and the tasting experience more seriously than others. You can tell which ones still have the passion for wine and which ones are just about making money. The only suggestion I have is to provide the option to buy food during the tour. One winery provided a light snack but that was the first one we visited. By 4 pm we were buzzing and starving and would have liked a small bite even it if was a simple boxed sandwich. Note: Getting picked up at the Marriott meant that we were the first ones to get picked up and the last to get dropped off which makes for a slightly longer day.

Tour lunch stop

Researching Niagara's wine tours to find a company that does it really well with knowledgeable guides that cater to someone what wants to understand more even if they've done this sort of thing a few times before (I'm a big Napa/Silverado Trail/Russian River Valley fan and wanted something to that level). This tour company exploded on Trip Advisor with 88 almost all save a couple super positive reviews. They promised sommelier or near it guides and had a variety of tours. We booked two, the Evening Winery Tour and Dinner and the Jordan, Vineland and Beamsville. Because we went in May on a Sunday and Tuesday, respectively it's of course, a bit off season which was both great and slightly disaapointing. For the first day, we essentially had a private tour with Austin, a fantastic guide who's worked and still works in the industry, driving us around in a slick Chevy Suburban almost secret service style getting us in to the VIP tasting rooms. For the second booked tour, the other people signed up hadn't selected the unique area I mentioned so it was more of the Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries but they made an effort to not repeat the wineries except for one which we had a totally different experience with. The guides are more knowledgeable than all but the senior staff at the wineries and a lot of fun with their explanations and humor. They were very accommodating with requests like stopping for coffee for example. The included dinner at the Charles Inn was fantastically well done (my dietary preference was passed from Niagara Vintage to the chef), romantic and with generous wine pairings (see separate review). The service was impeccable. Our lunch during the day tour was in a perfectly idyllic outdoor patio of Riverbend with vineryard view; the service was lackluster and rushed but manager kicked in to gear to help out and we were told this was an exception; they weren't very accommodating to dietary preferences bringing a non-dairy request a creme brulee and then saying sorry: TORTURE! Overall though, so very happy with the location selections by Niagara Vintage. We did not feel rushed on timing for either the lunch or dinner by the guide, imploring us to enjoy our meals. We visited Pilliteri, Pondview, Konzelmann, Southbrook, Hinterbrook and more all along with fantastic guides that would be truly hard to match.

Brandan,   You are the best!   Thank you for making our anniversary a great one. Take care!   -Your Florida family!

We went to four different wineries and were given a bit 80 minutes to explore Niagara on the Lake! After each winery our driver put all our bottles in designated boxes so we didn't have to carry them around the whole trip- so beneficial! We went to Pellitteri Estates Winery where we tasted their award winning white ice wine (top 100 wine in the WORLD), their red ice wine, a red and a white. We received a tour of their wine cellar, vineyard and learned about history of the winery. This was my favorite of all the wineries we went to- the quality was super high and the prices were actually pretty inexpensive! I bought their Cabernet merlot which was amazing! Wish I bought another bottle. Our second winery was Caroline Cellars. Honestly I would say I liked this winery just as much as Pelliterri- Pelliterri just had a classier vibe to it. Caroline had so many different varieties to taste! My husband and I's factories were the Pinot Cherry and Plum! So obviously we got a bottle of each. Our third winery was so pretty! Konzelmann Estate Winery looks like a castle right out of a fairytale! We were given deliciously cured meats, cheeses, crackers, and DELICIOUS ice wine truffles to pair with each of our tastings. I would definitely say their Peach wine was the best! The star of this winery was definitely their ice wine truffles. I wish I bought some- big regrets! Our last winery was our driver's pick and honestly it was pretty disappointing to end with Between the Lines. None of the wines stood out to anyone in our group. It honestly tasted like very cheap wine. Everyone on the tour wish we could go back to the first two wineries! Suggestion- take Between the Lines off your itinerary!! The time given to explore Niagara on the Lake was just enough time! We got a quick bite to eat at a nice pizza restaurant, walked to Lake Ontario, and shared an ice cream at the Cow. Such a fun time! I would definitely recommend taking this tour!

I've never done a winery tour and I was visiting Niagara Falls for the first time. One of my…read moreCanadian friends recommended I see some wineries so I did my research and decided on Winery Tours of Niagara's evening beer and wine tour with dinner at The Ravine Winery at the end. I couldn't have made a better decision. Our guide, Brendan picked us up the day we arrived at the bus terminal. We were nervous we might miss the tour because there was an unexpected delay crossing the border at the Peace Bridge. But I called the office and they assured us we would make it on time probably and if not they would help us to meet up with the tour. We luckily made it. Brendan was a great guide. He has a lot of energy and is knowledgeable about the local wines and the winemaking process. And he went out of his way to make sure everyone was having a great time. He took us to a very nice brewery, Ouest and several wineries including some extra stops of his favorites. My favorite of the wineries was Jackson Triggs because the guide there was the most knowledgeable and they gave us a tour of the whole process. The dinner at The Ravine was amazing as well. All of the vegetables in the salad are grown on the farm in back of the restaurant. I really couldn't recommend this tour more highly. Whether you're a wine snob or a novice you will enjoy it. If you do it book a tour with Brendan.

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.

I was pretty disappointed as I was looking forward to learning more about the wineries and about the area as a whole. The bus driver did her best and shared facts as we stopped at some of the wineries. The real stand out of the tour was Flatrock winery which had a beautiful view and had delicious wine. We stopped at Petticomb winery for lunch and the food was not good at all( pack lunch)and the winery was more of a farm. The wine here was okay. We stopped at 4 wineries in total and they were mostly subpar(I will not name them). With so many beautiful wineries in the region, I was hoping to see some of those and actually have a tour. These stops were more of a tasting and no real tour. I do believe this may vary based on the wineries that you are able to visit during your tour(which changes daily). It was a rather disappointing and I wish that I had just driven myself to some of the more grand, beautiful wineries and did the tours that are offered. Overall, the tour was okay. It was reasonably priced, I didn't have to drive, our bus driver was awesome, and some of the wineries had beautiful views. I got to chat with some new people and gain new experience.
