2.Wine & Cheese Half Day Tour – Niagara On The Lake Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 475 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.)

Spend about four to five hours visiting three Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries by minibus, with three or four tastings at each stop and one wine-and-cheese pairing. Guides such as Chris, Dan, Adrienne, and Joe add local history and wine tips. Stops can change, and pickup is available only from selected Canadian-side hotels.

“Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable. Wines were good. We expected to have wine on Niagra on the lake since that is how it was advertised but there was no lake and only one stop offered a small serving of cheese and crackers. Would recommend to a friend if we would’ve gotten all that was promised.”

“Fun day! I would have preferred to skip the boring wine stop and had more time in Niagara On The Lake. Also why load the bus to drive us to the boat ride across the street? Wasted about 30 T and we already had a slow group. I probably would have left most of them.”
