Most of the locations we visit offer non-alcoholic beverages, we also send along non-alcoholic beverages like mocktails or locally made sodas so all guests can enjoy the tour and have something fun to sip on. These alcohol-free options are included on the tour.
There is no discounted rate for non-drinkers. Please advise at time of booking the number of guests who won’t be drinking.

It’s all about the experience and our guides do their best to ensure you have a great time on your tour. Tips are most appreciated. Typically $10-15 per person is considered a standard tip.
Which wineries/locations will we visit?
On every tour except our PRIVATE CUSTOM TOUR, itineraries are set by us.
For our Standard Private Tour, there is an option to swap out one winery stop for a cider company or brewery, and if you have toured with us before, please advise us which locations you visited and we will strive to take you somewhere new!
We book appointments at all wineries two weeks in advance of all tours.
Can we buy wine/Cider/Beer at the wineries/Cideries/Brewries we visit?
Yes! In fact, it’s strongly encouraged. Many of the places we visit are smaller operations whose products may not be available in the LCBO/Beer Store. Plus your purchases go a long way to support small, hard working Ontario businesses!

Yes, all of our tours are by reservation only. We currently require tours to be booked, at minimum, 5 days in advance. We are sometimes able to offer day-of bookings, especially on our Public Tours – it doesn’t hurt to reach out, we may still have space!
