5.Wine, Cheese, Chocolate 6 Hour Tasting Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $242

Spend six hours touring Niagara wine country with hotel or Airbnb pickup, tastings at several wineries, a cheese and charcuterie board, and chocolate. Guides such as Don, John, and Marco add local stories and keep the day moving. Expect many samples, a small group of up to 30, and a lunch that may feel light for some.

“Nice tour; driver Tony was very pleasant. Beautiful scenery. However, title is misleading in that there is no lunch. In a 6 hour tour, 10 am-4 pm ! Just a smallish charcuterie board. Tasty, but barely appetizer sized. 22 alcohol tastings; not enough food. Chocolate truffle tasting was fun. I suggest if you go, until this company gets its act together, you can order and pay separately for extra food possibly at the first stop, Greif (?), and certainly at the 4th, Chateau des Charmes. We bought a cheese tray and cheese puffs at CDC to supplement the nice chocolate tasting.”

Everything about this trip is excellent - the village is both fun and pretty, the chocolate factory fabulous as was the Cava experience. The lunch is optional and of high quality, and I strongly recommend it. In all this day was fantastic. And let me tell you that lots of things that were outside of the tour organiser's control chose that day to go wrong. And Christian & Michael worked tirelessly to make the day magical and fun despite the universe conspiring otherwise. Everyone was laughing and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
