The guide was knowledgeable and engaging and the duration, though it went a little over the was worth it. We got to witness the wine country in all it's splendor with beautiful Chateau. The wine was great , in particular I got to taste my favorite of all wines with a soft oak flavor. I recommend. I feel the winery should serve a little cheese and crackers or chips because it's a half day tour or remind visitors to…”

Travel from Toronto by air-conditioned bus with a guide such as Nikki, Shaf, or Jason. Taste wine at Niagara College, feel the spray on a summer Niagara City Cruises boat ride, visit Table Rock, and explore Niagara-on-the-Lake. Winter departures replace the cruise with Journey Behind the Falls.

“The host and driver were great human beings - much appreciated. The structure/layout/itinerary of the trip needs to be re-evaluated. Tiny sips of wine first thing in the am wasn’t enticing. More of a waste of time. The information was cool to hear. The 2hours wasted on lunch with food that wasn’t tasteful was a waste, instead we could have been touring the falls on the boat. Lastly, it would have been more fun to traverse the road above where the Niagara boat ride is as it were several attractions and appetizing restaurants.”
