Loved the guide and the winery locations were fine… the wines weren’t super awesome at the wineries we went to unfortunately. I was super disappointed that we paid for a winery stop that was substituted for a 40 Creek stop. We love whiskey however, they give the tasting for free if you walk in off the street. So I feel like we paid for something that is free instead of stopping at a winery that we would have had to pay for otherwise.

The trip was very different from the previous wine tours we have done in the past. Both positive and negative. It was good because we got a chance to see some of the smaller wineries and taste some unique wines and different blends. The negative side being the lunch option, the food was substandard for the price. To make the experience better the food would have been better at the VEINI winery. They had good choices of sandwiches and other foods

Joey and Tina were awesome! A lot of fun and wonderful to deal with. Could not have asked for a better wine tasting experience. My wife and I loved it! And Tina's recommendations were amazing as well.

Joey and Stephen the tour guides are friendly, funny and helpful...also very informative. fun tour It took a while to get to each winery...explaining how the tour is 4ish hours with 4 wineries. but we got to visit beautiful place which I would have never seen. other than the typical wineries in Niagara-on-the-lake which have become super overpriced for tastings.

I’m honestly at a loss to describe this tour. First, the description says that you will be touring Niagara on the Lake wineries; this was more like Schitt’s Creek wineries as the closest we got to Niagara on the Lake was the car pool lot near the exit sign for that area. After being picked up in a school bus (!), we set off to the 1st winery, with our “tour guide” explaining he doesn’t drink. So yes, the tour guide for a WINE TOUR DOESN’T DRINK WINE. We traveled about 45 minutes to the 1st winery where we learned nothing about actual wine or the area, just that the tour guide had multiple marriages and has a thing for having children…. Truly bizarre. The 1st winery was actually lovely (Vieni) so things started looking up…. But then we got to the 2nd one. I’m struggling to find the words to describe this “winery” other than “is this a joke?”. Awful. This was also the lunch stop. For folks looking for a nice place to fast, go to Puddicombe Winery. The “wine” was not only awful, but they served from plastic cups that they didn’t have even replace with each tasting. So much more to say…. But in summary, no. Just no. We then basically breezed through Forty Creek distillery (I mean, they clearly wanted us gone as quick as possible and kinda can’t blame them). The last stop was Cornerstone and that was an actual delight. Small, micro winery that’s up and coming and the bright spot on an otherwise disaster of a tour. I know the expression “you get what you pay for”, and my expectations were suitably in line with a lower bar than usual. This tour limboed right under that bar. Save your money. Don’t book this one. Unless you really miss your school bus days and/or want to see the area that clearly inspired the hit CBC/Netflix TV show, just without the laughs.
