Amanda, you were a wonderful host, thanks for making this such a seamless and fantastic day!

Amanda was the best wine tour guide! She is so outgoing and friendly and made the experience one to remember for our group of 8! I highly recommend booking a wine tour with Amanda

We had the best of times! Amanda was so responsive – e-mailing back immediately when we enquired, sending itineraries, checking on preferences. I would highly recommend this!!

I cannot recommend Mandy and her company enough. She is so kind and made the wine tour planning process a breeze!

I booked a wine tour for my friend’s bachelorette, and she took the stress of planning out of the equation! She gave me many recommendations on different wineries and was super flexible with our schedule, which had a last-minute hiccup that Mandy quickly resolved. I received a draft itinerary before the tour date and could change a few stops to suit our schedule (flexibility is what she does best! There are no strict timelines to adhere to).

All the girls adored her, one of the girls had to take a break to pump, and Mandy was just so respectful and understanding. The bride had a wonderful time, as did all the girls. 10/10 would rebook with Mandy.

We had such a wonderful time! It was so nice seeing you, thank you for such a wonderful wine tour!

We had the best time on our staff wine tour *thank you to our tour guide Amanda from Glass O’ Wine Tours

Thank you for a wonderful day. Couldn’t ask for a better day!. Looking forward to the next one.

Amanda was fabulous we had the best time on our wine tour! She set up the perfect selection of wineries and even added an extra one in as a surprise for our ladies weekend. If you are in the Crystal Beach Niagara region this is a definite must!

We recently arranged a tour with Amanda to celebrate a family birthday.  Amanda provided terrific suggestions and guidance to support the planned agenda for the day.  With great attention to detail, our day was expertly organized from start to finish!  Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we are already planning our next event.

Thank you Amanda for hosting our group today. Your attention to detail and well appointed van made it a great experience for all. Great Job.

We had the most wonderful experience with Amanda and can’t wait to book our next tour!!

Thanks Amanda for a wonderful day. It was certainly more than expected. We had a ball.

We had an amazing time. Amanda was so easy to work with and found the perfect venues for us to sample wine. Thanks for an amazing time!!

Are you looking for the best Niagara wine tours? You’ve come to the right place, as the top winery tours in Niagara are all listed here!

How do I know these are the best Niagara wine tours? I’m a wine lover, and I only live a short drive away from Niagara’s wine country! So I know a lot about the region and the different tours which are available. Plus, I’ve vetted all the tours in this article, including the reviews, so you can be sure they’re all highly rated.

👍 BEST NIAGARA WINE TOUR

Don’t have time to read the whole article? Book this Full Day Wine Tour in Niagara-on-the-Lake for the most comprehensive 5-star Niagara group winery experience!

Niagara is one of Canada and the USA’s most iconic regions. Of course, it’s best known as the home of North America’s largest waterfall – the mighty Niagara Falls . But that’s not all, as it’s also famous for being Canada’s top wine-producing region!

When I first moved to Canada, I didn’t realize how much of a wine-loving country it was. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that, not only do Canadians love drinking wine, they also produce some fantastic wine. And, the country’s biggest wine region is actually Niagara, which is right next door to where I live in Toronto!

As I live nearby, I’ve had lots of time to explore the region, get to know the local wineries and taste many of Niagara’s wines. So, by now, I know what to look for in a good Niagara wine tour. And, to help you choose the right tour, I’ve put together my top 7 Niagara wine tours to take when visiting the region.

In the list I’ve included a mix of group and private tours to suit different interests and budgets, as well as tours on both the Canadian and American side of Niagara (as excellent wine is produced on both sides).

So, read on for everything you need to know about Niagara’s best winery tours!

If you’re looking to add a little bit of adventure into your Niagara wine experience, then this tour is for you!

This is actually my favourite tour on the list. The only reason it’s not ranked number 1 is because cycling may not appeal to all travellers. But, rest assured, the bike route isn’t difficult, taking you along easy, flat and safe (and scenic) trails and country roads.

Amazing wine tour with some exercise!

You can choose from a half-day and full-day tour, which both take you from one winery to the next. At each stop you’ll get to experience a different type of vineyard, learn about Niagara’s wine production and history, and taste unique local wine varieties, such as Ontario’s famous ice wine.

If you’re unsure whether to book the half-day or full-day tour, I would highly recommend going with the full-day. This will give you more time to spend enjoying each winery, and it includes a delicious 2-course lunch, which tastes even better after all the cycling!

Niagara Winery FAQs

How many wineries are in niagara.

There are more than 50 wineries in Canada’s Niagara wine region and about half of them are located in and around Niagara-on-the-Lake. There are also more than 20 wineries in Niagara County on the US side of Niagara falls.

What time of year is best for Niagara wine tours?

The best time for Niagara wine tours is typically during the spring, summer, and early fall. The weather is most pleasant during these times, with long sunny days and warm temperatures. So this is the ideal time to explore the vineyards and the surrounding countryside.

However, later in the fall, from October to November, is also great time to visit Niagara, as the landscape lights up with some of the region’s most vibrant fall colours.

What type of wine is Niagara known for?

Niagara is best known for its production of Ice wine, a sweet dessert wine made from grapes harvested while frozen on the vine. The region also produces excellent cool-climate wine varieties such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc.

How does a wine tasting tour work?

During a Niagara wine tasting tour you will typically visit multiple wineries, where you’ll be guided through tastings of various wines by local wine consultants. They’ll teach you about the winemaking process, grape varietals, and flavour profiles while you sample a selection of wines.

Sometimes food, such as charcuterie or cheese pairings, will be included. And, certain tours may give you the option to stop at a local restaurant for lunch.

On Niagara wine tours, a local guide and transportation between wineries is also usually provided. And there will be an opportunity to purchase bottles of wine to take home.

How much time do you spend at each winery?

On most wine tours which include multiple stops, you’ll have around 45 minutes at each winery. However, this can sometimes be longer, if the stop is for a more comprehensive tasting, tour of the facilities, or even for lunch. And private tours can be customized to allow for longer or shorter stops, depending on your preferences.

What is ice wine?

Ice wine is a type of sweet dessert wine made from grapes that have been left to freeze naturally on the vine. This freezing process concentrates the sugars and flavours in the grapes, resulting in a rich, intensely sweet wine with a balanced acidity. It’s typically served chilled and is paired well with desserts.

Do you tip on wine tours?

Tipping on a wine tour is up to you, but is not usually expected. As most Niagara wine tours are booked and paid for in advance , you won’t actually have to pay anything on the day, unless you purchase bottles of wine or food during the tour.

For bottle purchases a tip is not expected. But for restaurant food eaten onsite, such as lunch, it’s customary to add a tip between 15% to 20% in Canada.

It can also be a nice gesture to provide a tip to your tour guide and driver. However, this is very much at your own discretion.

What do you wear to a wine tour in Niagara?

Most wineries in Niagara don’t have a specific dress code. I would recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, as you will likely do a lot of standing throughout the day. And, if you’re going to be doing a bike wine tour , make sure you wear something you can easily cycle in.

What is the difference between Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake?

Niagara Falls is the small city and bustling tourist destination which is home to Niagara’s famous waterfall. Whereas Niagara-on-the-Lake is a small lakeside heritage community, often deemed the prettiest town in Ontario, known for its historic architecture, wineries, and theatres.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is only around 25-kilometres from Niagara Falls, and can be reached along the scenic Niagara Parkway. If you’ll be spending some time in the Niagara region, it’s absolutely worth visiting both Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

How old do you have to be to go on a Niagara wine tour?

You must be of legal drinking age to participate in a Niagara wine tour, which is 19 years old in Ontario.

Wanna see a big boat on Lake Michigan? Viking Cruises ship stops in Algoma on May 29

The stopovers are part of viking's great lakes collection cruise, and boat fans are welcome to watch the ship and its passenger ferries arrive and depart..

ALGOMA - For those interested in watching big boats on Lake Michigan, the first of eight Viking Cruises to stop over in Algoma in 2024 drops anchor in the waters off the shore at about 8 a.m. Wednesday.

The ship will moor in the lake off the Algoma Pierhead Lighthouse, with passengers disembarking via ferry about a half-hour later. Boating fans are invited by the Algoma Area Chamber of Commerce to head to Heritage Park and the city marina to watch the ships and their passenger ferries arrive and depart, and the chamber will set up a mobile visitor center near the park to provide information to passengers and crew members.

It's the second straight year Viking's Great Lakes Collection cruise includes a stop in Algoma, which offers optional passenger excursions not only in Kewaunee County but also Door County and Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The Swiss-based cruise line also featured Algoma as a destination eight times in 2023, the first year the city and Door County were part of the cruise.

The specific ship stopping in Algoma on Wednesday is the 665-foot-long Viking Octanis, on its way from Toronto. Built in 2022 and with a capacity of 378 guests and 256 crew members, the Octanis is scheduled to return to Algoma at about 7 a.m. June 11, on its way from Duluth, with future stops at 8 a.m. Aug. 7, 7 a.m. Aug. 20, 8 a.m. Sept. 18 and 7 a.m. Oct. 1.

Another Viking cruise ship making the Great Lakes run, the Viking Polaris, is scheduled to stop in Algoma at 8 a.m. July 12 and 7 a.m. July 25. The Polaris has the same dimensions and capacity as the Octanis.

The cruises arriving in Algoma at 8 a.m. are scheduled to depart at about 6 p.m., while the 7 a.m. arrivals depart at about 3 p.m. All times depend on weather and the captain's prerogative.

The Great Lakes Collection cruises run from Toronto to Duluth, Minnesota, or the other way around. The cruise takes 15 days and stops at 10 destinations along the way, including Niagara Falls; Cleveland; Detroit; Mackinac Island; Alpena, Michigan (home of the Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center); Thunder Bay and other scenic natural locations in Ontario. A passage through the Soo Locks in the twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Ontario, also is part of the itinerary.

Passengers who disembark in Algoma can choose from a variety of guided excursions offered by the cruise. Along with the tour of Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, there also are a kayaking and hiking adventure at Door County's Moonlight Bay and Cana Island Lighthouse, a hike along the Niagara Escarpment, charter fishing on Lake Michigan, wine and scenic tours by motor coach of Door County and a wine/beer/cheese tour of Algoma. Passengers also can do a self-guided tour of the city and its art galleries, Crescent Beach, Ahnapee Trail and dining and beverage establishments.
