Known for their rich Cabernets and elegant white wines, this family-owned winery is headed by Luciano (Lou) Puglisi who draws on grape-growing knowledge and experience that has been handed down from one generation to the next. As you sip any one of Bella Terra’s wines, you are tasting three generations of grape-growing and winemaking experience. Enjoy a guided tasting of a selection of three wines and a fun “Jar-cuterie” as you learn about the history of the winery and its winemaking philosophy.

Kick things off with the soft effervescent Sparkling Rosé, a blend of Pinot Gris & Riesling, it is the perfect palate cleanser for the bold flavours ahead. Jump into a glass of their light, crisp and food friendly Hare Series Pinot Grigio. Try tasting it with the Capocollo for a gorgeous and well-balanced pair. Or better yet, bring out the herbaceous undertones in the wine by pairing it with the Mountain Oak Wild Nettle Gouda. Next, sample a glass of the Hare Series Riesling which is the perfect partner for the Mountain Oak Traditional Gouda and thinly sliced Prosciutto Salami – salty vs a touch of sweet! Finally, try the medium-bodied Hare Series Cabernet Merlot with the locally sourced Cacciatorino Salami or Thornloe Aged Cheddar. Watch how the fats in this traditional pairing mellow the tannins in this velvety smooth red!

Château des Charmes Estate Winery “Exclusive Wine & Chocolate Journey” Tasting

Their Rose Sparkling, Traditional Method will be paired with ruby chocolate made from an existing botanical cocoa bean varietal that has just the right attributes to be processed naturally into a sweet and sour bite. Sea salt caramel with milk chocolate is a perfect treat that blends savoury and sweet hints in one rich and delightful flavour that pairs well with their Chardonnay Paul Bosc Estate. Gamay Noir “Droit” from St. Davids Bench will be paired with exotic passion fruit that delivers a sweet and tangy exotic experience to your palate. And lastly, their Cabernet Icewine Paul Bosc Estate will be paired with white Belgium chocolate, a combination of luscious white chocolate with a drizzle of ruby chocolate.

So much fun! Well organized and nice to ride the brand new Miami blue & pink bikes for us girls!! Jonny our tour guide was both humorous and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the scenic rides through the vineyards. 3 out of 4 vineyards were lovely to visit. I would just take out Josephs…not impressed and wines tasted off, but that’s just our opinion. We recommend ending the day with a reservation for dinner at either two sisters or Peller Estates. -Cheryl ( see more reviews )

Niagara is one of Canada and the USA’s most iconic regions. Of course, it’s best known as the home of North America’s largest waterfall – the mighty Niagara Falls . But that’s not all, as it’s also famous for being Canada’s top wine-producing region!

And, to help you choose the right tour, I’ve put together my top 7 Niagara wine tours to take when visiting the region.

In the list I’ve included a mix of group and private tours to suit different interests and budgets, as well as tours on both the Canadian and American side of Niagara (as excellent wine is produced on both sides).

Niagara Winery FAQs

How many wineries are in niagara.

There are more than 50 wineries in Canada’s Niagara wine region. Around half of them are located in and around Niagara-on-the-Lake, on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. And there are also more than 20 wineries on the US side of the falls in Niagara County.

What time of year is best for Niagara wine tours?

The best time for Niagara wine tours is typically during the spring, summer, and early fall. The weather is most pleasant during these times, with long sunny days and warm temperatures. So this is the ideal time to explore the vineyards and the surrounding countryside.

However, later in the fall, from October to November, is also great time to visit Niagara, as the landscape lights up with some of the region’s most vibrant fall colours.

What type of wine is Niagara known for?

Niagara is best known for its production of Ice wine, a sweet dessert wine made from grapes harvested while frozen on the vine. The region also produces excellent cool-climate wine varieties such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc.

How does a wine tasting tour work?

During a Niagara wine tasting tour you will typically visit multiple wineries, where you’ll be guided through tastings of various wines by local wine consultants. They’ll teach you about the winemaking process, grape varietals, and flavour profiles while you sample a selection of wines.

Sometimes food, such as charcuterie or cheese pairings, will be included. And, certain tours may give you the option to stop at a local restaurant for lunch.

On Niagara wine tours, a local guide and transportation between wineries is also usually provided. And there will be an opportunity to purchase bottles of wine to take home.

How much time do you spend at each winery?

On most wine tours which include multiple stops, you’ll have around 45 minutes at each winery. However, this can sometimes be longer, if the stop is for a more comprehensive tasting, tour of the facilities, or even for lunch. And private tours can be customized to allow for longer or shorter stops, depending on your preferences.

What is ice wine?

Ice wine is a type of sweet dessert wine made from grapes that have been left to freeze naturally on the vine. This freezing process concentrates the sugars and flavours in the grapes, resulting in a rich, intensely sweet wine with a balanced acidity. It’s typically served chilled and is paired well with desserts.

Do you tip on wine tours?

Tipping on a wine tour is up to you, but is not usually expected. As most Niagara wine tours are booked and paid for in advance , you won’t actually have to pay anything on the day, unless you purchase bottles of wine or food during the tour.

For bottle purchases a tip is not expected. But for restaurant food eaten onsite, such as lunch, it’s customary to add a tip between 15% to 20% in Canada.

It can also be a nice gesture to provide a tip to your tour guide and driver. However, this is very much at your own discretion.

What do you wear to a wine tour in Niagara?

Most wineries in Niagara don’t have a specific dress code. I would recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, as you will likely do a lot of standing throughout the day. And, if you’re going to be doing a bike wine tour , make sure you wear something you can easily cycle in.

What is the difference between Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake?

Niagara Falls is the small city and bustling tourist destination which is home to Niagara’s famous waterfall. Whereas Niagara-on-the-Lake is a small lakeside heritage community, often deemed the prettiest town in Ontario, known for its historic architecture, wineries, and theatres.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is only around 25-kilometres from Niagara Falls, and can be reached along the scenic Niagara Parkway. If you’ll be spending some time in the Niagara region, it’s absolutely worth visiting both Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

How old do you have to be to go on a Niagara wine tour?

You must be of legal drinking age to participate in a Niagara wine tour, which is 19 years old in Ontario.
