You will tour five of the outstanding vineyards (we have one backup on the list). You will sample whites, reds, and of course some of Niagara’s renowned Ice Wine—a tour would not be complete without it.
The menu for lunch will be a Seasonal Lunch Tasting at Between the Lines Estate Winery or a Picnic Board Cheese & Charcuterie.
(Note: Lunch samples and picnic board presentations are not the same. To guarantee that you will be together for the tasting, each reservation must be made for the same option.)
In addition, take pleasure in a tour of the chocolate factory and sample some delicious ones. Our finest wine tour to date is this one! We will pick you up from your lodging (hotel or Air BnB) and take you to the wine valley of Niagara.
