Explore Niagara, home of Ontario's modern wine industry, with this private, full-day wine-tasting tour from Toronto. Relax in style while the tour guide introduces the sites of the Niagara wine region. This 7-hour adventure includes three wine tastings at three different wineries, as well as an optional lunch with breathtaking views of Lake Ontario from atop the Niagara Escarpment.
After a Toronto hotel pickup, travel to the Niagara region in luxury with a licensed tour guide. The voyage will travel to three wineries for samples at each. All three wineries offer a private, intimate tasting, which means no large tour buses. Learn the traditions of wine making, walk the vineyards, and sample the wines.
Begin atop the Niagara Escarpment for some breathtaking views of the region, lake, and river. Each winery has locally grown and harvested, award-winning wines that are unique to the Niagara region.
Discover the Canadian culture and its world-famous ice wine. Learn how the Niagara Escarpment and the last glacier age made this region prime land for growing crops. Then continue across the escarpment trail towards Lake Ontario. Enjoy the view of what many would call a small ocean. Learn about Canada's natives, the war of 1812, and how Sir John Graves Simcoe ventured across the lake to discover this region. Also, enjoy lunch overlooking the lake.
The tour ends with a return trip to Toronto and a local hotel drop-off.
This was posted as a wine tour on the website and turned out just to be a SUV with driver! The website also promised a package including lunch with a view and private wine tastings with descriptions of the wine producing region. Neither of these were provided. The driver was expecting to take us to Niagara Falls and Niagara on the lake to which we had already been and had therefore specifically chosen this private winery tour. All we did was get dropped off at wineries and had to join whatever was on offer. The website is completely misleading and you do not get what you had paid for. I felt sorry for the driver who did not know what was expected or included.
