Verdict

If you have already done wine tours elsewhere or you only have half a day in the area, the half day option is the right fit. If wine country is the reason you came to Niagara, do the full day, the lunch and the extra wineries justify the cost.

Frequently asked questions

Half day tours run 3 to 4 hours and visit 2 to 3 wineries. Full day tours run 6 to 8 hours and visit 4 to 6 wineries with lunch.

Half day group tours start at $97 USD per person. Full day tours with lunch start at $135 USD. Private tours from $200 to $250 per person.

All tasting fees (typically 4 to 5 wines per winery), transport in a small van, charcuterie board on half day or sit down lunch on full day, plus the driver. Tipping the driver is customary.

Most tours are not pet friendly because the wineries do not allow dogs in the tasting rooms. A few tours offer outdoor patio tastings on request, but this needs to be arranged in advance.
