If you'd like to book a tour at our winery, send us an e-mail or call 905-262-0636 during business hours.  We're happy to provide three types of tours for you and your group: Structured Tasting, Traditional Tour, and the Winemaker's Tour.  Please read over the details and choose which type best fits your needs.


Structured Tasting
- Offered by daily by request (pending availability) or by appointment
  • Flight of three premium table wines selected by our in-house experts, including private "tutored tasting".
  • Accommodates 1-50 guests; larger groups are welcome, please enquire for details.
  • Features a brief lesson on proper sampling technique, basic wine pairings, and other wine trivia.
  • $2 per guest, non-refundable fee.

We encourage this option for small groups of active wine-drinkers looking to sample our best, or large groups looking to learn a little more about wine.  For groups of 20 and larger, please call at least one day in advance to guarantee availability.

Please peruse our "Flight Menu" for a list of options.


 
Traditional Tour - Offered daily at 1PM (May to Oct.), or any time between 11AM-4PM by appointment
  • 20-30 minute tour of our vineyard and winery by knowledgeable staff
  • Accommodates 1-50 guests; larger groups are welcome, please enquire for details.
  • Features a custom tasting session for smaller groups, or structured tasting of four table wines for larger groups.
  • $5 fee per guest 19 years of age and older. The tour fee may be refunded upon the purchase of wine, although there is a limit of one refund per bottle. 

The Traditional Tour is great for families, couples and friends looking for a relaxed look at Niagara's wine industry.  It's a great way to learn the basics about our winery, vines and wines, as well as taste wines with our well-trained staff.

For groups of 20 and larger, please call at least one day in advance to guarantee availability.  Please enquire for special accommodations (i.e. birthday/anniversary announcement, specific type of wine tasting, etc.), and we will do our best to satisfy your requests.


Winemaker's Tour - By appointment Sundays only

  • Private "tutored tasting" of three table wines and Vidal Icewine with the Winemaker.
  • A freshly prepared plate of cheese and gourmet crackers.

The Winemaker's Tour is an ideal getaway for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate team-building, or just a weekend trip for your close friends.  It's a cozy way to become familiar with winemaking at Riverview Cellars, with all of the extra luxuries.
