We booked the tour in advance and we're very excited. We arrived at our stop where the school bus was waiting for us. As soon as we were finished boarding, we were informed that our guide for the day would not be joining us. I was pretty disappointed as I was looking forward to learning more about the wineries and about the area as a whole. The bus driver did her best and shared facts as we stopped at some of the wineries. The real stand out of the tour was Flatrock winery which had a beautiful view and had delicious wine. We stopped at Petticomb winery for lunch and the food was not good at all( pack lunch)and the winery was more of a farm. The wine here was okay. We stopped at 4 wineries in total and they were mostly subpar(I will not name them). With so many beautiful wineries in the region, I was hoping to see some of those and actually have a tour. These stops were more of a tasting and no real tour. I do believe this may vary based on the wineries that you are able to visit during your tour(which changes daily). It was a rather disappointing and I wish that I had just driven myself to some of the more grand, beautiful wineries and did the tours that are offered. Overall, the tour was okay. It was reasonably priced, I didn't have to drive, our bus driver was awesome, and some of the wineries had beautiful views. I got to chat with some new people and gain new experience.

This tour was horrible! Don't waste your time. We went to two places and both so unprofessional and horrible. We were supposed to go to three places. First stop was Atlantis wine and all were late harvest and horrible, and no red or white wine. All served in the same glass rushed! After half an hour drive we went to Tapps on Queens, which had 2 small pre filled beer shots. Had to spend 45 minutes so we spend money on food. The first place didn't discuss anything about wine or anything educational. We were so dissapointed. Four ladies got together to enjoy a wine tour and we went to two really horrible places. Don't waste your time. Please.

Where do I even begin... if I could give 0 stars, I would. Me and my group of 12 we're super excited to get on this tour as we have been planning for a month and a half to gather everyone together. drove two hours, half of us slept the night before only to receive such terrible treatment from the bus driver. Our group got picked up at two different locations and we met up at one to get on one bus. The bus drive JOE was awful. Absolutely terrible human i dont even understand why he's still working there as this clearly wasn't his first time behaving like this (can be seen from other reviews) he refused to take one of our friends simply because one was explaining to the other what he couldn't hear (as he was giving his speech with covid protocols which involved no music no phone call no matter how emergency. Someone needs to remind him this is supposed to be fun, people paid for this service not to be harassed and spoken to like a child) anyways while he was apologizing to Joe, Joe said "that's it. I'm not taking you on the tour your apology is not valid" he then proceeded to want to rush away and leave us and pushed another one of my friends off the bus. We weren't going to get kicked off for a stupid reason and not get a refund. Overall we ended up stranded, harassed, no refund and no communication with the company. Terrible company and terrible staff and even worse management. Please save yourself a trip and go to another tour there's plenty of nicer places than this trash.

Ok, this tour wasn't perfect but given the cost (thanks to Groupon) and our awesome tour guide (shout outs to Joe) I'm giving this 5 stars. We went on the winter wine tour and booking was a breeze, all the info you need is on their website if you look for it. Pickup was about 15 minutes late from the Fallsview casino but at least we could wait indoors ..Joe said he arrives late on purpose because so many people come late to get picked up so I guess that could be forgiven. The website this was a 6.5 hour tour but it was a good 8 hours between the time we were picked up and dropped off. This included 3 wineries one of which had a restaurant for lunch, as well as a final stop at a chocolate factory. Besides the easy booking, every stop we made was well planned out. I thought it would be more chaotic handing out wine to 50+ people at once but they were ready when we arrived and had some great choices for us. The lunch we had was delicious and we had some downtime to explore Niagara-on the lake. Ive only ever seen the chain resto/casino side of Niagara falls so this was a great way to see another aspect of it. Joe gave plenty of commentary on the bus ride and was a never ending source of jokes and entertainment...that guy was a riot! This is not like your typical wine tour. You will not be drunk, as the tastings are so spaced out over 8 hours and theres a lot of "free" time. The bus is kinda dingy and could use a makeover but was comfy enough. Having such a large group does slow things down as you have to wait for everyone to board and take their time making purchases etc, but you could always use it as a chance to make a new friend!

As someone who has been on 10+ wine tours in Niagara and area, I always love finding new companies and enjoy trying new tours. I organized a wine tour with seven other girlfriends with Larry from Niagara Fun Tours on Feb. 19th and found the whole experience to be very frustrating. The price that Larry quoted for the tour was a little bit less expensive than other touring companies so we decided to go with him. The added bonus with Niagara Fun Tours was that we got to select the wineries and where we went for lunch. Unfortunately, dealing with Larry was very difficult as I would send him info and then he would not reply. Overall, there were twenty emails exchanged between the two of us. With tours in the past with another companies, two emails were exchanged 1) asking how much a tour was 2) a receipt for the tour. With Larry, emails had to keep being exchanged because Larry would suggest a place for lunch and then I'd read that it was closed. He also emailed and said he had no booking for us but later said that he found it. It was all a giant mess. If he didn't have my credit card I would have cancelled the tour because he was not organized and we were all getting frustrated because we didn't know if the tour was confirmed. On Sunday Feb. 19th I was determined to overlook everything that had happened leading up to the organization of the trip. Larry was on time (great) but was not friendly at all. The whole trip seemed like the experience pained him. When he dropped us off at a winery he would say "you talk to the people and I will be around here in my van." When we asked about timing at the beginning of the day he said "don't worry, we'll get to wherever you want to visit today." After a couple hours he informed us that we could not go to our final stop because we had wasted too much time. It was a big disappointment especially because this was not communicated to us earlier. Larry also broke a bottle of wine and left our Air B and B with 12 bottles of wine in his van. He told us that his van was empty and we believed him. When we discovered the box was missing (five minutes after Larry drove off), he did not pick up his phone. Instead, he later called to tell us that if we wanted our wine, we had to drive to Niagara Falls to pick it up (we were staying in Niagara on the Lake). Despite knowing that all of us had some wine on our tour, he wanted us to drive to pick it up. When we communicated to him that his plan was completely unsafe he gave the box to his manager. From there, his manager left the wine in St. Catherine's (since he was visiting his sister there) the following day and left it with a gas station attendant. Overall, the whole experience was completely unprofessional.

Booked a tour for two via Groupon and was pleased with the deal. Joe was our tour guide and although some Yelpers may have found his humor confusing, he is a fun and cheesy storyteller. He kinda reminded me of Larry David from Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm and he kept his humor clean. If you're looking for an intimate or pretentious tour, this isn't it. This is a casual tour with practical wine tasting tips. If you're looking for a party bus full of open bottles and hollering, this is also not the tour for you. Joe is like a chaperone who is there to get you from place to place safely and gently remind you of the rules before you break them. Some people may not appreciate that, but it's necessary for a bus of 50 people looking forward to (and enjoying) free wine samples. The Summer Tour takes you to four family - owned estates. See their web site for details. All four were decent and I thought three of four were quite good. (My preferences aligned with Yelp ratings for the individual wineries. ) We stayed on time so we were also able to stop at Piccard's Peanuts which was a nice treat with reasonably - priced snacks including chocolates and ice cream. In short, it was a nice day and worth every penny of the Groupon. Don't forget to bring tip money. Joe earns it.

Did the sips and suds tour! Travelled on an older coach bus to 3 locations all had great cider, beer and wine. Our driver John was funny and kind and definitely knew the area. You get 4 tastings of cider, 4 of wine and 2 of beer. The beer stop Is a restaurant and not an informational sessions like the others. They asked at the door everyone's hotels and dropped us right at our door!! Very fun way to spend a march afternoon.

I thought this tour was a great value for what you get. 4 wineries with 3-4 tastings at each stop and there were some opportunities to order additional glasses of wine, if you wanted. They were quite organized and at many of the wineries, our group had our own private room. We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy ourselves. Lots of information about wine and the wineries was provided during the drive. The tour guides made it clear that no opened food or drink was allowed on the bus and this kept the tour from getting too rowdy. It was an extremely hot day so the bus got warm by the last 2 wineries. Other than that, the seats were comfortable and there was lots of leg room. I would recommend this tour and do it again.

Great way to see several wineries that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. The thing we enjoyed most was that 4 of the 5 wineries set aside a 'guide' to show us around & talk about what them makes them different, or the same, as the other wineries. Joe was our driver and the pick-up locations were convenient for us and all the other couples on the tour. I say 'couples' openly as one was a younger girl (22ish) and her female cousin from Scotland. Joe came on like a Fireball shot at 10:00 in the morning so it took a little bit for us to warm up with him. Boy, does he LOVE his job. :D Once he put the bus in gear after that last stop at the Perfume Factory (just to pick 2 people up- not trying to stop there to shop) and said, "Ok guys- let's go drinking!" we quickly got into party spirit. We bought our 'Tour Tickets' through Groupon for $50 and with the exchange rate- I think we did this tour for 2 for about $37.00! WHAT A DEAL! Our first stop was Diamond Estates and the girl giving the tour was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the business & the history of the company and clearly loved her job. 4 tastings and we left there with 2 bottles. Second stop was Caroline Cellars and they were waiting for us when we barged in he door. No tour here so it was straight to the tastings. I think we were supposed to get 3 but we ended up with 4. Their wines were a bit dry for our palate so we didn't buy any. We went next door to their restaurant for lunch. I ordered the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Poutine, Cheese Plate & Charcuterie Plate. The Poutine was delicious but the other 2 weren't worth the price. On to Konselmann's. This place was beautiful and our Wine host- Ben was AWESOME! He loved his job and it really showed. He was knowledgeable and funny and gave us a reason to come back next time. We bought 2 bottles here. Quick stop at Joseph's which was a complete bust. I don't think they'll be stopping there much longer. The host was bored and a bit 'snippy' when answering questions and after 3 tastings we were out of there in about 10 minutes. NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON OUR BUS BOUGHT ANYTHING HERE. Tells you something about the host & the wines. Around the corner we stopped at Ponsette's Peanuts (or something that sounded like that) and we had a ball sampling nuts and buying up a bunch. Last stop was a newer, completely 'Green' and self sustaining winery. They have their own solar power, collect all their own rain water, and heat the place Geo-thermally by pulling heat &/or a/c from the earth to warm or cool the building. The Sommelier was very knowledgeable and fun and tried to involve every one of us in his Q&A game. We left there with 3 tastings and 1 bottle of wine and smiles all over our faces. Joe, when we come back up (from Pittsburgh) we're booking another Wine Tour and we want you as our driver. Thank You NFT for an excellent day...!

This was a great tour for the price! The groupon deal made it out to be about 50pp not including tip which is amazing for a wine tour. We were picked up at Fallsview Casino in a older bus. We stopped at two more locations to pick up other guests and then were on our way. We went to 4 wineries and had 3-5 tastings at each. With a stop for lunch and chocolate. The stops were all decent. Some better than others but overall a great variety. Our tour guide was friendly and informative. He did an excellent job of keeping everyone on schedule. I believe his name was Trevor. Overall a great bang for your buck. If you are looking for something fancier than you will have to pay at least double this price but if you are looking to see some wineries and spend a nice afternoon this is perfect.
