What to Expect on a Wine Tour with Winery Guys Tours
Personal Pick-Up at Your Accommodation
If you're staying in Niagara Falls or Niagara-on-the-Lake, our wine tour starts with a personal pick-up at your front door. Depending on what tour you selected, you may be picked up in a luxury car, our executive shuttle, or a Tesla. If you're staying in the Niagara region outside of these areas, please contact us to arrange a suitable pick-up location.
Our professional guides are here to ensure you have a fun and safe adventure from start to finish! You’ll get bottled water to keep you refreshed and feel free to take charge of our Bluetooth speakers to set the perfect vibe for your journey.
Winery Arrival & Introduction
Upon arrival at your vineyard stops, you'll be warmly welcomed by knowledgeable staff who will guide you through your wine tasting experience. Winery visits often begin with a brief introduction to set the stage and provide insights into the vineyard’s history, grape varieties, and winemaking processes.
Wine Tasting
Each of our wine tour options consists of 3-4 winery stops where you'll get to taste local wine that was produced on-site. The winery staff will guide you through the tasting experience, teaching you how to smell, taste, and savour what's in your glass.
If you select our Wine, Beer & Charcuterie Tasting Experience, we'll swap out one of your wine tasting spots for a stop at a local brewery.
Production Facility Tour
Many of our tasting experiences include a tour of a production facility. During this stop, you'll step into the barrel cellar and learn how wine is made—from vineyard to bottle—as your guide walks you through the entire production process.
Wine Purchasing
At the end of each tasting, the winery offers the opportunity to purchase bottles directly from the source. This is a great chance to take home a unique selection of wines that may not be available elsewhere. Many vineyards also have wine clubs, providing options for regular shipments of their finest selections.
Our tour guides will make sure your purchases stay organized so you can focus on enjoying your experience.
Food & Wine Pairing
Many of our Niagara winery tours include a delightful charcuterie and cheese pairing at one of the stops. You'll enjoy a selection of gourmet cheeses and cured meats while learning the basics of food and wine pairing. It’s a delicious addition to your wine adventure!
Lunch Stop
If you select our Wine Tasting & Lunch in Niagara Tour, you'll get a 70-minute break in the beautiful downtown Niagara-On-The-Lake, dubbed as 'Old Town', to shop, eat and take in the gorgeous scenery (lunch not included).
