Whether it's a relaxing day away from the hustle & bustle at home, or a bunch of bridesmaids out celebrating, wine tasting is a great way to spend an afternoon. One of our drivers will pick you up and transport you out to wine country in picturesque Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. You'll be chauffeured from one winery to the next to enjoy the best Niagara has to offer. We offer fully-customizable tours, in addition to wine tasting or wine tours, we can allocate some time to strolling through the historic town to view the colorful display of flowers, shops, boutiques.

Cory and his people were fantastic to me and my family during a recent vacation. Nothing was too much trouble and the price was very competitive. Do not hesitate to book them as they have so much local knowledge. They were always on time for us, and try their best to make life easier for you. Highly Recommended

I can't see why we (4 adults) paid $600 to visit 4 wineries, and have a lunch. Save your money, drive down yourself. There was absolutely no tour included, private or otherwise. Completely dissapointing, and not worth the money at all.

My hubby and I did this tour as a celebration. Melanie our driver was informative and super fun. This tour was so well thought out and timed. We enjoyed this part of our get away so much. They dropped us off and picked us up from our Hotel. We went to 4 vineyards and stopped in the middle of it for lunch. This is exactly what we needed. Thank you so much Zach for being so informative and listening to our wants and dislikes before the tour.

we were collected from our accommodation on time, however then had to do other pick ups in town which meant that we really lost about 45 mins in doing this. Our guide and driver were really good and we felt we were well looked after.

Our tour guide Mark was incredible. Very knowledgeable about the Niagara area and gave us an amazing tour of the historic district. The wine tours gave us a very different and positive attitude towards the process and efforts put into the wines we enjoy. All in all the money was very well spent. Mark even found something we forgot and returned it on his own time. That’s was huge. Awesome day.

What an amazing tour, sip and savour tour. Dave our tour guide was on time and had a great sense humor but was also full of information in regards to wine. You could see he truly loved wine and had knowledge to spread. We had only 6 for the tour and it was perfect, three couples provided adequate space to allow for covid requirements. Visited 4 wineries 4-5 tastings a piece some with charcuterie and some with junk food tasting. We will be returning again with friends! If your wondering if it's worth the price and will you get a great variety of wines..don't worry anymore and just book it already! Dave thanks for a great parent day excursion.????????

So knowledgable, accommodating, and safe - particularly during COVID. The owner and tour guide (David) made our couple's experience very memorable. 10/10 would recommend everyone try a wine tour with these folks! Caroline's Cellar and Between the Lines are also a must!
