Wine & Vineyard North York

There are a number of benefits in travelling with a tour company from Toronto to Niagara Falls by bus. The biggest ones that spring to mind are commentary and the ability to see more. If you travel on your own, you may have a good time and that is great, but if you want to learn more and get all the tips and tricks - a tour company is the way to go. Tour companies have local knowledge so they can maximize your time efficiently and give commentary to paint the pictures you're seeing. They can take you places the direct route can't meaning it's not just A to B, but it can include C, D, Etc.


While Niagara is known for its waterfalls, it's also known for its wine region. The Niagara wine region is home to nearly 100 wineries. The region is ideal for growing wine as it has a unique climate and fertile soils. While Buffalo is south of the region, it's said that the temperature is generally warmer in the Niagara region which means it's milder and more conducive to grape growing.


A number of tour operators offer tours that take you to wineries and also to Niagara Falls. We have our wine tour which samples 3 different venues in addition to the falls. If you're looking for a vineyard tour, wine samples and pairings then look no further! Let us be your designated driver - you're on holiday after all. Please note that wine sampling comes with additional costs pending which wineries and experiences you wish to visit.


Our Niagara tour can also take you to the ever beautiful Niagara on the Lake which was voted in the top 50 prettiest small towns in the world by Conde Naste. I know every time I visit, I want to move there. Situated on Lake Ontario, it's steeped in history from the war of 1812 and blessed with great boutiques and bites on Queen street. On a direct Niagara transfer, you likely won't see this, whereas with a tour company, you will.


(If sampling wines isn't your appetite, we can customize itineraries for groups. The journey to the Falls has a number of alternative attractions including the Shopping Outlets, Hamilton waterfalls, Niagara Glen (great walking), Butterfly Conservatory, Whirlpool Jet boats and more! Just reach out if you have any questions on things to do.)


To lead tours in the Niagara Region, tour guides need to pass a knowledge test. All of our guides at Northbound tours are licensed, have advanced wilderness first aid training (not that you'll need it here) and lots of stories to animate your day out.
