The Experience
Before You Go
Bring government ID
Tastings are included but you must present valid ID for alcohol service; carry a driver’s license or passport,
Wear sturdy shoes
Vineyard paths and gravel tasting-room lots are common—closed-toe shoes with grip make moving between sites easier.
Hydrate between tastings
Carry a refillable water bottle to cleanse your palate and stay hydrated; guides may offer water but bring your own for convenience.
Reserve souvenir shipping
If you buy several bottles, ask if the winery can ship them home to avoid carrying heavy glass on the bus.

Conservation Note
Many area wineries practice reduced-spray farming and encourage recycling of bottles; buy local and pack out waste to support small producers.
Niagara County’s wine identity grew from cool-climate varieties and a tradition of ice wine production; the lake’s influence and the Escarpment’s soils shaped early plantings.
