Niagara-on-the-Lake Small Group Wine Tour with Lunch

Chris was there at our hotel at 10:00 sharp to pick us up. I felt this was outstanding since we didn't book until 6 PM the previous day. On the way to the vineyards we found his narrative on the history of wine-making in the area very interesting, as well as his insight into the tastings, of which there were five. We were the only "foreigners" on the tour, but Chris treated us equally well, even being from the "wild" state of Connecticut, lol. The only downside was the wait for our pre-ordered meal, though the food was just fine when we finally ate. All-in-all a wonderful experience, the nine of us on the tour were feeling just fine at the end.

Very good. Chris is a high energy tour guide, lovrd it!!!!! The bus is too bumpy of a ride. But I would still reccomend.

We had a great time on the wine tour! Our bus driver, Adrienne, was awesome - she really went above and beyond to make our day fun! The 5 wineries that we visited were excellent and the lunch was tasty! Our only complaint would be the amount of time driving/on the bus going to each winery- but we knew that when booking. Overall, great tour!

The winery’s were great but everything was sub par. We were told a pick up time of 9:15 we didn’t get picked up until 9:45 I called texted and email to find out what was happening but got no response ever. My other big problem was lunch. It was NOT what was described in the confirmation and the location was horrible we were expected to sit on the side of the highway in eating dirt blown at us by traffic for 2 hours!!! Very dissatisfied!

I did this tour in August with my mother and sister. We had a fantastic time visiting Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake. Our tour guide and driver Chris was EXCELLENT!!!! He was courteous and funny and very knowledgeable about the wineries we went to and wine in general. He was also very informative about the history of Niagara on the Lake. We got to visit 5 wineries where we sampled many..... many.....many different wines. I also loved that Chris took us to some smaller boutique and family run wineries that we would have never ventured to on our own. The tour also included a stop for lunch. Although lunch was good, the service was very slow and despite pre ordering our meal we did not receive our food until 10 minutes before we had to leave the restaurant and were very rushed to eat (this being the only reason I did not give the tour 5 stars). But like I said, the food was good and this slight hiccup did not over shadow the overall experience of the tour. All in all it was a wonderful tour and I would highly recommend it.

Good tour! Our driver was lovely and she was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Perridiso winery was the best we had all day. Very personable and knowledgeable owner. Provided 3-4 wine samples at each stop! Only complaint was the amount of driving all day. Would be much better if the chosen wineries were closer together. Lunch was preordered from a restaurant (88 South) and was great!

A wonderful, fun and and relaxing tour. Chris was very cheerful, knowledgeable and attentive. It’s the only way to your wineries

This was our first wine tour that we've been on and the reviews are conflicting. I was skeptical when booking because of the reviews. Driving time- It was a lot of driving and time spent on the bus but if you drove it yourself, it would be about the same. Wineries- There are around 90 different wineries in the area, so if you want a specific one I wouldn't suggest taking this tour as it changes based on availability Group size- It was a small group (6) people. Keep in mind we went on a friday and not a weekend when most people are off. Tour Guide- Jerry, He was very knowledgeable, when we were waiting he shared information about the history of the area. He was kind and tried to get the groups of individuals to mingle and it was essentially fun to be around strangers> If that makes sense. Overall each winery that we went to were good at different things, and each winery was unique in its own way. We did have a few servers that were "new" and it was very basic and generic, but I genuinely thought they tried their best. Down fall: This wine tour is not easy to book if you don't plan to spend the night in Niagara or surrounding areas. You have to pick a pick-up location and so we had to walk from a public parking lot to the hotel- which isn't really ideal.

The day was great. It was nice to let Chris do the thinking and for us to do the drinking! We had an amazing day.

This tour was poorly planned. It was supposed to be a Niagara on the lake tour but the bus took us to a few places all the way in St Catherines and even outside of that. Most of the day was spent on the bus driving. The lunch was a picnic lunch and didn’t even have the option to purchase wine during the lunch. Was a waste on money. Horrible experience and would not recommend.
