Private Niagara Wine & Beer Tour with Custom Stops

Summary

Niagara Region Wine Tasting Tour with Local Driver

You get to design your own tasting adventure across Niagara’s best wineries and breweries—with a local driver who knows all the hidden gems. No set schedule, just your group, great drinks, and plenty of time to relax.

What’s the experience like?

Rain or shine, we kicked off our day right from the front steps of our rental—no scrambling for taxis or waiting in the cold. Our driver, Mike, greeted us with a grin and a playlist of local bands humming through the van. The air smelled faintly of grapes even before we’d left town; that’s just how it is out here in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

There’s no set route on this private tour. We picked out three wineries and a craft brewery after chatting with Mike about what we liked—he knew which spots had the best small-batch reds and who poured generous samples. At Ravine Vineyard, the wood-fired bread came out warm and crackling; at Silversmith Brewery, you could hear laughter spilling from their old church taproom. If you want to add a distillery or swap in a cider house, just say so—they’ll make it happen.

We took our time at each stop (no rush), sipping flights and swapping stories with staff who actually remembered your name by the second pour. Bottled water was always handy in the van—trust me, you’ll need it between tastings. If you’re hungry, they can arrange a picnic lunch (extra cost), but we ducked into a roadside bakery for butter tarts instead. By late afternoon, the sun broke through the clouds and everything smelled like fresh earth and wildflowers—classic Niagara spring.
