Nice wine tour - Second time doing this tour. Price is cheaper than any other wine tour which is why we chose this tour. They now have a pick up point near niagara on the lake also near to at Catherine’s where we stayed. We loved loved loved our last stop Cornerstone Winery. The wine is really nice and also loved the host (daughter of the winery owner)and hearing the history of the vineyard, she was very entertaining, knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen too. The longest stop for lunch at a farm Puddicombe farms I was not impressed with, I think I am not the only one that had that impression since not one person bought ANYTHING other than lunch. The stop was too long, and food not great either. Some other venue would much improve the tour if this one was completely omitted from itinerary. The driver was fun and entertaining and the 2 other stops Vieni winery and the whiskey distillery forty creek were also great. Vieni I had done last year and loved it and their wine is really good and lots of choice! Both Vieni and Cornerstone were my absolute favourite stops on the tour.

Yellow school bus not cool - Our driver was amazing. She provided great info and had a wrench thrown in her day but handled it calmly and professionally. I would have given 5 stars but using a school bus for the tour ruined the experience....plus the place we went for lunch had terrible service and the samplers were not that great. We waited over an hour for a small cheese pizza. Cornerstone was the BEST in terms of presentation and experience 👌. Vieni winery was Amazing for samples and the Whiskey stop was a great finish....overall a great experience.

Wine Tour - Our driver named Tina was fantastic! But a school bus? She made the best of a not so good situation. We felt rushed at two wineries. The first winery was corner stone estate winery. The owner was friendly and welcoming. 5 ⭐️ for her! The other two were less exemplary. Distillery was not real welcoming. Our group was too large- overbooked perhaps? We even left some people behind at second pick up because bus was at capacity. The experience was mediocre at best.
