Fantastic Afternoon! - We went on this tour for my bachelorette party and we all had a lovely time! Dave was our guide and he was amazing, we loved his sense of humour and all the information he provided for us on the tour! We visited three wineries and a cidery, and each winery was great with a wide variety of options that appealed to out group, including one person who does not drink. Thanks again to Dave for a great day!

A memorable experience - This wine tour was the first group activity planned for our family reunion and we had a wonderful experience! The tastings & pairings were very enjoyable and our tour guide, was quite knowledgeable and so very funny. This company will definitely be my go to for future Niagara wine tours. I can't wait until the next one!

Just wow! - What an amazing activity! We had the great chance to be the only two people with Dave and boy did we have fun! He was right on time to pick us up, very knowledgeable and kind (did I say funny? 😁). He sometimes helped us with words we were looking for when describing the wines we were tasting and always kind with the workers and people we were visiting. The tour was customized for our taste and they keep a record of the wineries we visited in case we come back (which we'll do, of course).
We're happy to say we bought a couple of bottles and we will share them with family and friends back home.
If I could, I would give NWTG 6*/5. Thank you very much and we'll be sure to book with you the next time we're around.

Friends Wine Trip - We were a group of 7 ladies and an honorary bear celebrating a friends retirement. I have been visiting NOTL for over 14 years and always self guided. I thought with our group size a tour might be a better idea…. Turned out to be an AMAZING idea! Dave impressed me from our first conversation. He was so personable, accommodating, and so entertaining. He made every one of us feel so welcomed and his humour truly was the highlight. The wine, food and vineyards were spectacular and we never felt rushed or lacked attention. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone heading to the area.
Thanks for making it a memorable trip!

Great tasting experience, visiting small private wineries. - The wine tour was great from beginning to end. Dave picked us up at our hotel as arranged, we joined 5 others already on board, and headed to our first winery, Queenstown Mile, where we tasted 4 wines and accompanied charcuterie board.
The second winery, Caroline, allowed us to choose 4 wines from their list of 20+. Hubby and I each chose 4 different ones, so we tasted 8.
The final stop, Marynissen, was different again, where we chose what to taste from a few options, accompanied first by nachos and salsa, then by cheese, and by a spicy sausage, finished with an ice wine chocolate shot. Yum.
Dave was very knowledgeable about each of the 3 small wineries, who do not supply the stores, just restaurants, or wine tasters.
A great day out.

Amazing wine tour experience - My husband and I went on the wine tour with Dave and this was our first time on a wine tour. We had the best time! Dave was kind, funny, and really knowledgeable! We went with a fun group of people and tried many types of wines and even a cider stop. All of the locations had delicious drinks and were so welcoming! We had some delicious snacks too. It was so nice to have a driver and be able to enjoy ourselves without worrying about having to find a ride back to our hotel. Excellent experience and it exceeded our expectations! Thanks again Dave for a wonderful experience and we will definitely book again! Book this tour, you will have such a fun day!

A Total Wine Experience!! - We were so lucky to have Paul from “Winelovers Niagara” as our guide to Niagara wine country! He was very knowledgeable, informative and engaging in all aspects of our day. From the local history of Niagara on the Lake (where we were staying) and the Niagara region to the history, and lineage of all of the many wineries and winemakers, he enriched our brains as well as our palates including a private little lesson about what makes a “good wine”. It’s all about the taste! :).
We had guests from BC along with us who have travelled extensively to many world class wineries but had never experienced the wonderful wines of Niagara. I had asked Paul to lead us with his expertise to “impress the heck out of our guests” and he delivered! We also had my 83 year old mother with limited mobility along with us and he was wonderfully patience and accommodating including retracing our steps to find my mother’s lost phone.
Thank you Paul!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

10/10 would do it again! - Our small group had the best time on our tour. We were all wine tour virgins and Dave made the experience painless. He was genuinely friendly with everyone, and was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about everything wine-related. We were very impressed, and will be returning. Thanks!

An enjoyable afternoon - This was our second tour with Niagara Wine Tour Guides. Dave is a really well informed guide with a nice sense of humor and great connections with the wineries we visited. We visited three wineries: Queenston Mile Winery, Caroline Cellars and Marynissen Winery. All three had very nice selections of wine. We did a full charcuterie board tasting at Queenston Mile, a more casual tasting at Caroline Cellars and a junk food and cheese pairing at Marynissen. It was roughly a 4 hour experience and was quite enjoyable.

Would recommend 👍 - No nonsense tour. Dave was very knowledgeable. Went to small wineries - small businesses or family businesses. Small group. Would recommend.
