Top 15 Niagara Falls Wine Tours

Last Updated January 10, 2024 William Tang

You are here: Home » Attractions & Experiences » Top 15 Niagara Falls Wine Tours

A trip to Niagara Falls isn’t complete unless you’ve included a visit to Ontario’s famous wine region in Niagara-on-the-Lake and along the Niagara escarpment.  Wine is the liquid currency here that is worth its weight in those heavy cases of bottles and it would be a shame if you didn’t do one of the guided Niagara Falls wine tours.

Whether you’re coming as a day trip or spending a weekend getaway staying in one of the charming properties along Queen Street, you have to include one of these winery tours in your itinerary.  You’ll learn about the origin story of ice wine, go behind-the-scenes in the wine-making process, and discover the secrets to food pairings.  To help you out, here’s a list of the top 15 tours to consider that give you a mix from ones that include meals, to those looking to cycle, and more!

Where to stay in Niagara?

• If you’re thinking about Niagara-on-the-Lake, my pick is the Prince of Wales Hotel its historic heritage and prime location along the main strip.  For Niagara Falls, a visitor favourite is Hilton Niagara Falls as it’s connected to the casino but night right on top so you get the convenience without the craziness.

Why book Niagara Falls wine tours?

Tips on how to be a wine tour pro, traditional wine tours, tours with meals, cycle and wine tours, brewery winery, cidery, and brewery tours, private tour, wine tours comparison table.

If you’re skeptical, I can totally relate.  It’s no secret where the wineries are located near Niagara Falls.  If you have a car or are renting a car (and saving money with car rental coupon codes ), then why would you want to book a tour?

Here are the reasons why you would want to book a Niagara wine tour:

• You won’t need a designated driver (DD).
• You’re running a special event (bachelor/bachelorette party, wedding party, family excursion).
• You want a guided experience so you learn more about Ontario wines whether you’re a connoisseur or enthusiast.
• You prefer structured experiences to ensure you make the most of your limited time in Niagara Falls.
• You couldn’t be bothered to plan and book the tours and food pairing experiences.

If it’s your first time going on a wine tour, there are a couple of tips to make sure you have an amazing time.

• It goes without saying but be prepared to drink!
• In all seriousness, that means to make sure you eat a proper breakfast or lunch before you head out especially if your tour doesn’t include a meal.
• Set the right expectations.  Even if pairings are included, don’t expect this to be an unlimited feast.
• Be considerate to your other tour mates whether it’s overall etiquette on the bus or during the tour, or during tastings (i.e. don’t hog all the food).
• Think about what you want to buy.  If you’re from outside of Canada, know what your import limits are back to your country (i.e. wine duty exemptions for the US ).  Also, it’s just a good idea to know how much wine you already have at home and what your soft or hard limit is on budget and how many bottles you want to bring back home.
• Don’t expect to drive after your wine tour so plan your itinerary accordingly.

Niagara-on-the-Lake wine tour with cheese pairing

This tour is the classic Niagara Falls wine tour that’s perfect for those staying by the Falls and want to head to Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) for half a day.  With this guided, small-group tour, you’ll be able to sample a variety of wines, including Ontario’s famous ice wine, and also pair it with cheese.  You’ll also learn why NOTL is a perfect region for grapes and how it compares with Napa .

With these types of tours, you normally get one full winery tour and this usually happens at either Konzelmann Estate Winery or Jackson-Triggs.  At the other vineyards, the focus is mainly the tasting.

One guest said:

We had marvellous personal attention as we visited several wineries throughout the Niagara Falls/Lake Region. All the winery hosts knew our tour guide, which facilitated our tours significantly, as we always felt like “insiders” throughout the day’s visits. Would highly recommend.

While the wineries may change, here are the locations that you can expect:

• Wineries – Palatine Hills Estate Winery (interchangeable with Jackson-Triggs), Konzelmann Estate Winery, Marynissen Estates Winery, and Pondview Estate Winery
• Cheese pairing – Pondview Estate Winery although some of the other wineries have started to offer pairings as well

If you prefer a tour tailored just for your group or as a couple, consider these private wine tours.

Private winery tour of Niagara-on-the-Lake

This is a private tour for you and your group that takes you to 6 wineries in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region.

The advantage of a private tour is that you can adjust it to your interests and speed.  For instance, if you’re interested in photography, your driver and guide can make suggestions and help with photo taking.  Perhaps you’re interested in specific types of wines.  Your guide can adjust the itinerary to include different wineries from the standard 6.

In addition to the wineries, you’ll also get to visit the Queens Royal Park, the Gorge Lookout, Queenston Heights Park, and the Floral Clock.  This means that this tour is more of a complete tour of NOTL and perfect for those that are short on time and want to see as much as they can.

One thing to keep in mind is that tastings and food are not included.  You can make a special request for a picnic but this will be at an extra cost.

What Is Ice Wine?

You may have never heard of ice wine if you are not from Canada. 

Ice wine is a type of wine produced from grapes that are grown in cold, icy climates and have been frozen while still on the vine. The process results in concentrated sugar and high acidity levels, giving ice wines a unique sweetness and complexity.

They are typically enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or served with dessert or fruit, as ice wine is very sweet wine and similar to dessert wines.

The area around Niagara Falls produces some of the best ice wine in Canada!

Who has the best icewine in niagara.

Peller Estates Winery, Reif Estate Winery, and Inniskillin Wines Estate are all known for having some of the best ice wine in Niagara. The best way to experience Niagara ice wine is to tour multiple ice wine vineyards near Niagara Falls.

What Do You Wear To A Niagara Wine Tour?

When visiting a Niagara wine tour, it’s important to dress comfortably and appropriately for the climate. You might want to wear closed-toe shoes and a light jacket , depending on the time of year.

Why Is Icewine More Expensive?

Icewine is more expensive because the production process is labor-intensive and unpredictable. The frozen grapes need to be manually harvested in cold temperatures, typically between -8°C (17.6°F) and -11°C (12.2°F). This often needs to be done at night when the temperature drops to its lowest point.

Do You Drink Ice Wine Cold?

No, ice wine should not be served cold. The ideal serving temperature for icewine is 8°C (46.4°F). Serving it too cold will mute the flavor and aroma of the wine. It is best to allow the bottle to sit at room temperature before serving.

Is Ice Wine Stronger Than Regular Wine?

No, ice wine is not stronger than regular wine. The alcohol content of ice wines usually ranges from 8% to 13%, the same as most dessert wines. What makes ice wine unique is its sweetness and higher acidity levels.

Where Can I Go For Ice Wine Tasting Toronto?

Toronto has several nearby wineries offering ice wine tastings. Inniskillin Wines, Reif Estates Winery, and Peller Estates Winery are popular destinations for ice wine tasting near Toronto. The Ontario Icewine Festival is also held annually in January, when you can sample a variety of icewine.

More About Canadian Food and Drinks:

Canada travel planning guide.

🚑  Should I buy Canada travel insurance?

100% YES!  — Canada has “free” healthcare but it’s only for citizens! Foreigners visiting need travel insurance in case anything happens on their visit. I recommend World Nomads – starting at just $5 a day!

💧 Can you drink the water in Canada?

Yes  — In all major cities in Canada, you can drink the tap water. There are very few, rural areas that you can’t. However, you should never drink river or lake water anywhere in the country! I recommend a Brita Water Bottle for long hikes and backcountry camping to stay safe and hydrated.

🚙💨  Is it safe to rent a car in Canada?

Yes  — Renting a car is a necessity in most of Canada! If you want to go on road trips or adventures outside of the major cities, you’ll need to rent a car. ( Read more )

📲  Will my phone work in Canada?

Maybe  — Some American companies work in Canada, but many will not. If your phone doesn’t work in Canada, I recommend getting a Canadian SIM card so you can get around and stay in contact with loved ones. We don’t have a lot of free WIFI in Canada, so you’ll need your phone for maps.

🏩  What’s the best way to book my Canada accommodations?

My go-to for Canadian hotels is Booking.com . For hostels, I use Hostel World . If you want a home-y feeling, check out VRBO (which is cheaper and safer than Airbnb).

Or get free accommodations with Trusted Housesitters!

✈️  What’s the best site to buy Canada flights?

For finding cheap Canadian flights, I recommend  Skyscanner .

🎫  Do I need a visa for Canada?

Likely Not  — US, UK, and EU passport holders don’t need Canadian visas. However, some other countries do ( check here! ). And if you plan to stay for more than 4 weeks (an average tourist visa length), you will need to look into visas to live in Canada.

Best Driving Vacations 2024: Go on the ultimate full-circle adventure around Lake Erie

Highlights include beaches, wineries, history and a stop in ontario to admire the natural wonder of niagara falls..

Today we continue on our journey highlighting four of the best driving destinations from central Ohio.

From a circle tour of “our Great Lake” to the architectural wonders of a modernist sister city three hours away, these extraordinary adventures are wonderful ways to widen your horizons in 2024.

Today's installment is Part 3 of 4 destination packages from Columbus Monthly's annual travel guide. We hope you enjoy.

Part 1: Best Driving Vacations 2024: Explore the Northern Shore of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

Experiencing Lake Erie

Lake Erie was the last Great Lake to be discovered and explored by European adventurers. Don’t make their mistake. And if you decide to do some lakefront exploring this year, consider something more than a quick trip to Cedar Point or Put-in-Bay . 

Sure, Ohio’s lakeshore is packed with fun and interesting destinations. But three other states and the Canadian province of Ontario also share the Lake Erie shoreline. A multiday international circle tour of our Great Lake offers something for every traveler, including wineries, history, city lights, natural delights, beaches and fun in, on or next to the water. 

From Columbus, a complete circle tour of the lake requires at least 12 hours of driving in total. So allow three or four days for a leisurely circumnavigation with plenty of stops along the way. 

Of course, it doesn’t matter which direction you circle the lake, but assuming your coin flip demands “counterclockwise,” a good first stop from Columbus is Ohio’s Grand River Valley wine region east of Cleveland. 

The region, which includes the Vines & Wine trail in Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties, takes advantage of a lake-influenced microclimate to grow a wide variety of grapes, especially American-European hybrids that allow production of some tasty and sophisticated vintages. Several good lodging options in the area, including some at the wineries, also offer a good choice for a first night’s stay, especially after a few tastings. 

Part 2: Best Driving Vacations 2024: Take a Battlefield Tour of Pennsylvania and Maryland

Pennsylvania’s Presque Isle State Park is a large, sandy peninsula that juts into the lake, forming a natural barrier protecting the harbor at the city of Erie and featuring beaches, nature trails and plenty of room for stretching your legs before the next segment of the journey. Buffalo, New York, is a better travel destination than its reputation might suggest, at least if you visit after the last of the winter’s lake-effect snow has melted. The city has a number of sites associated with famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright , including the Martin House , one of Wright’s great achievements in Prairie-style architecture. 

Niagara Falls may be a cliche, but it’s a magnificent, awe-inspiring one. Cross the border into Canada for the best views of the natural wonder and the best places to spend the night. 

Remember, you’ll need a current passport to make the international crossing. (You don’t have a passport ? What are you waiting for?) Driving along the northern shore of Lake Erie reveals a stretch of lovely farms and orchards dotted by a series of lakeside towns, each seemingly more charming than the last. Port Stanley, Leamington, Kingsville, Amherstberg and others offer pleasant waterfront business districts with shopping, cozy bed and breakfasts, historic sites and restaurants and diners often featuring local and scrumptious lake-caught perch. 

Point Pelee National Park is situated on and around a natural point that sticks out far into the lake. It’s a prime spot for watching the migrating birds that use it as a jumping-off point before flying across the lake every spring. (And if you walk out to the very tip of the ever-shifting sandy-stony point, and pocket the last pebble above the waterline, you’ll have the southernmost point of the Canadian mainland as a souvenir.) 

Lake-rambling gamblers can, of course, play in the casinos of Toledo or Cleveland, but why not give the slots and tables a try at Caesars Windsor , across the border from Detroit (which has several casinos of its own)? The view of the Detroit skyline is quite lovely from Windsor. Plus, there’s something a bit exotic about placing a bet with colorful Canadian currency. And every $100 Canadian lost is only $75 American — so you’re already ahead! 

Toledo is another town that doesn’t get its tourism props, but be sure to stop by the National Museum of the Great Lakes at the Toledo Maritime Center on the Maumee River near downtown. The center has many great exhibits about all of the Great Lakes, including their natural history, commercial activity, shipwrecks, lighthouses and much more. Visitors can also tour the retired coal ship Col. James M. Schoonmaker, once the largest freighter on the lakes. 

From Toledo, a traveler can call it a tour and head south on U.S. 23 toward central Ohio, or continue along the lake to more familiar Ohio stops such as Port Clinton , Put-in-Bay, Sandusky and on to Cleveland. 

Or you might just be tempted to turn around and try the drive in the other direction.
