Things to know before booking your wine tour

• In Ontario, Canada, the legal drinking age is 19. You must have valid identification as proof of age.
• If your tour includes food pairings, inform your guide of any dietary restrictions in advance.
• Plan your tour between March and November when the weather is more pleasant, and the blooming vineyards will create a picturesque setting for your outdoor activities.
• Book your Niagara-on-the-Lake wine tour beforehand to ensure availability, especially during peak seasons.

Visitor tips

• Club your wine tour with your Niagara Falls visit to make the most of your visit to the region.
• Avoid wearing heels while on the wine tour. Flat footwear or shoes work best while walking through the vineyards.
• Look up wine-tasting etiquette and familiarize yourself with how to swirl, sniff, sip, and savor your wine.
• If you’re a complete beginner at wine tasting, don’t hesitate to ask questions and engage with winemakers.
• You can buy wines directly from the wineries. Bring a wine tote or protective packaging with you to transport bottles safely.
• Wine tastings can add up quickly, so pace yourself and use the spittoons provided to avoid overindulging and to drink responsibly.
• If you're driving to the vineyard decide on who the designated driver is beforehand.
