Half Day Wine & Cheese Tour - Niagara On The Lake Wine Tour

Great day overall. Our bus driver Brian was awesome; friendly and knowledgeable. 3 out of 4 wineries were fantastic, the other not so much. That was the consensus of our bus. The reason it didnt get 5 stars is actually due to size of group with covid. 12 seemed large to have in a mini bus of people that do not know each other. We were lucky to have a great group of people to be with and if covid wasn't a thing the trip would be 5 stars!

What we hoped would be a nice romantic afternoon touring wineries and tasting turned into a four hours of torture with four breaks at wineries. It started well we were the first couple picked up Brian was very nice and informative. We stopped to pickup three more couples and everything was going well. The last pickup was a group of four women it their 30s and from then on our romantic wine tour was done. These women were loud and obnoxious screaming and hollering laughing very loudly. They had brought there own food and liquor on the bus and were drinking between stops. Our driver Brian had asked everyone to keep their masks on on the bus but the 4 women kept taking them off even after several reminders.

Everything was great, the wineries to the staff involved. I’d also like to give a special shout out to our bus driver Jerry who was amazing and went above and beyond! Thanks Jerry!!

Originally we tried booking a tour with one of the bigger companies, but they were all booked. That said, this tour was okay. The wineries visited were okay, but there was nothing about the winery itself described, nor were there any tours of the actual wineries. Our tour guide Rick did not provide any insights of his own that positively contributed to the tour. A major let down was going to a Chocolate factory in the middle of our wine tour (not advertised). Overall, the tour was poorly timed, we often had an extra 20 minutes outside of each winery just to wait around before going to the next. Also, it is not a wine and cheese tour, it is a wine tour with three small pieces of cheese served in a box. We were so hungry by the time we got to the last winery that had the cheese. If you can't get a tour with the bigger wineries, I think you're better off making your own itinerary and maybe stopping for lunch in the middle.

Crispin was really knowledgeable. Wine tours were nice - great for a first timer! Served between 3 and 4 tastings per winery.

Crispin was a great tour guide who was knowledgeable and entertaining. 2 of the 4 wineries acted like they couldn't get you out the door soon enough. The cheese in "wine and cheese" tour is a little misleading. A small plate of grocery store cheese was served at the last of the four wineries. None before.

This tour is asvertised as wine & cheese, however there is only one vineyard that gives cheese and it’s only 3 pieces of cheese. On top of it once we got the that vineyard they’re had been a mistake and no cheese was reserved for our group and so we did not even get cheese at all. The chauffeur was very nice and amazing which was the highlight of our trip. The selection of the vineyards was not great only 2 out of 4 were good. No one explain the wine or the history of the wines they only introduced the name and the category. Not worth it.

What a great experience! We were a group of 5 girls and we had a fantastic time. The winery at Rief did not have the best service but our driver Bobby made the day so much better. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and a sweet soul :)

We were lucky to be the only two persons in the tour so we had plenty of time to chat with our driver about the area. We visited four wineries and one of them served us cheese. The area is beautiful!

I am sad to say this tour was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. We were booked on Saturday Aug 28th with a group of 6. The advertisement stated specific wineries but exceptions could occur. The reality was our tour was not booked at any wineries and our driver who did the bare minimum went to smaller venues that were not busy. The driver even attempted to visit the same winery twice!!!!!! Until objections were raised. We felt as though this was a money grab and not a complete tour. Not worth the money it was extremely disappointing
