About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- RosalindC6370 contributionsFabulous wine tour and day put in the countrysideWe chose the Grape Escape wine tour due to the great reviews. It did not disappoint. It turned out to be very personalised with just my husband and I and the guide/driver Dianne. She was very informative in a funny way and we really enjoyed her commentary and sense of humour. We were taken to 3 family owned wineries - Caroline’s, Between The Lines and Palatine Hills, where we received fabulous service and info re the various wines. Generous tastings at all and a charcuterie platter at BTL winery. Fabulous afternoon out in the beautiful Niagara on the Lakes countryside. Thank youWritten December 20, 2024
- browntim020 contributionsMemories Made and Delicious WinesThe wine tour was simply amazing. We toured on very comfortable bicycles and had the opportunity to see the countryside as well as taste local wines. Kevin was our fantastic tour guide. I highly recommend him if you have the choice.Written October 20, 2024
- KarenFredBen0 contributionsThe Bench was terrificWe had a perfect afternoon with Roger, our guide and we toured in the Bench region. This was new to us and it didn’t disappoint. Three wineries and charcuterie was just perfect for an enjoyable afternoon.Written October 19, 2024
- northern_ontario_7050 contributionsA Grape Tour!My husband and I had a superb time during our tour with David from Grape Escape. David was friendly and knowledgeable. He arrived right on time and he was very courteous. He was very personable, and carried good conversation. Plus, his careful driving allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day. The tour took us to three charming, boutique wineries: In Between the Lines, Bella Terra, and Palatine, each offering its own unique character and interesting wines. We wrapped up the tour with a tasty lunch at Caroline Cellars, which was a good ending to the day. There was never any rush, and we appreciated having the time to savor each location at a leisurely pace. At the various wineries, knowledgeable staff presented their products. A special mention goes to Charlie at Bella Terra, whose enthusiasm and expertise truly stood out. What made the experience even more memorable was the small-group setting, allowing us to connect with a lovely young couple. It was a great opportunity to share stories and compare notes on the wines we sampled, adding a social and personal touch to the tour. I certainly recommend Grape Escape. And if you’re lucky enough to have David as your guide, you’re in for a treat!Written October 15, 2024
- 54lilliannaz0 contributionsnice fun time and insightfulI took my mom for her birthday on a morning tour. We went to three wineries and had a variety of different types of wine. Dave was a wonderful driver and had lots to say about how wine was made, suggestions for pairings, and other insightful information. At one of the stops we had to wait for an unexpected amount of time but he advocated for us to have an ice wine added instead of one of the regular wine tastings and kept us entertained while we waited. Overall great birthday celebration for mom.Written October 15, 2024

- 618chrisy0 contributionsGrape Escapes and David were great!!We are from Virginia and came to Niagara on the Lake to see the Falls and visit the wine country nearby. We used Grape Escapes for our wine trip. They were very responsive and helped us put together a very cool trip including 3 wineries and lunch. They also personalized our trip to help with our dinner plans, etc. Our guide, David, was outstanding in all areas. He has a wonderful personality. He arrived on time and got us to all the wineries promptly and always came in and made sure everything was in order. We particularly liked Bella Terra and Between the Lines. He also volunteered and took us on a delightful tour through historic Niagara on the Lake. If we return to this area, we would certainly use Grape Escape Wine Tours and David. We had a fantastic day!!!Written September 12, 2024

Our bike and wine tour was led by our guide, Margie. She was very knowledgeable about wine and the wineries; she was attentive to our needs with respect to special food requirements and provided extra care when needed due to hot weather.
Margie was a great communicator and made sure we all had what we needed and had an enjoyable experience! We didn't all know each other but the 10 of us had a fun time on the tour.
Our lunch was at at Caroline's Cellars. The food was delicious (portions were generous) and they were very attentive to our Celiac gluten free requirements. We sat with another couple and were socially distanced.
All four wineries we visited (Riverview Cellars, Inniskillin, Caroline Cellars, Between the Lines) were unique and quite enjoyable.
We would highly recommend Grape Escapes, Niagara-on-the-Lake

From the moment we arrived at Grape Escape, everything was well organized, from sign in, to bike fittings, to meeting our guide, Thom. It was immediately apparent that client comfort and safety were paramount. Thom tailored the riding pace and route to our group and at each winery we received a warm welcome, a wide variety of wines to try and thorough answers to our many questions. We also enjoyed a relaxing and delicious lunch, where Thom was readily available but gave us ample space to just enjoy each other's company. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a carefree day of light exercise, gorgeous scenery and an opportunity to sample and socialize. There is absolutely no pressure to purchase wine but if you do, Grape Escapes takes care of all the tracking and details so your wine meets you back at their tour centre.

I took a bike tour cycling to 3 wineries with my daughter on Tuesday, July 14th with Ian (guide) and went again with my other daughter with Gwen (guide) the following Tuesday .. Both trips were fabulous and the guides were friendly, upbeat and informative .. Grape escape are organized and both guides were wonderful - THANK YOU ! It was safe and they took all measures to make sure things ran smoothly
It is a really enjoyable adventure to do with your partner or like myself with my daughters or in a group.. It is informative, the scenery is very beautiful and the bike ride is quite enjoyable.. The wineries are all different and this is my 4th time with Grape Escape and it won't be the last time, I can highly recommend them.

Excellent tour with very friendly and knowledgeable guides. We had Dave - who was really great. They picked 4 excellent (and all different) wineries, including one to stop at for lunch. Food was really good
I would highly recommend seeing Niagara on the Lake by cycle - the roads are flat and the bikes are excellent. Really great day.

This is a must do experience if you like both being outdoors and enjoying some of Canada’s best wines. The Grape Escape makes this adventure a day to remember, providing a comfy touring style bike that is carefully fitted. Thom was a fabulous guide who was knowledgeable about the area but also knew lots about the wineries we visited as well as the wine. It was apparent that the Grape Escape has developed respected relationships with every winery on our tour because we were provided with a warm reception at each one. When our day regrettably came to an end all of our purchases were waiting for us back at the Grape Escape office, totally hassle free. I am already looking forward to next years Great Escape adventure.

First, I want to say that Sarah was the most amazing guide. Unfortunately, the description is incorrect. We were under the impression that we had 4 winery visit and also wine pairing along the way (2) as per your ad. We only went to 3 winery and there was no food or pairing along the way. The price seem a little pricey when you consider that tasting cost around 10-15$ each and that you can rent a bike for 24h for 30$.

Had Thom as our tour guide for the afternoon wine tasting bike tour, and had a fantastic experience! Thom kept the group on time to make it to all our tasting and navigated the route. Thom also provided supplemental education/info regarding wine making/tasting (learned more from Thom on these aspects than from the wineries). Thom was also great with being patient and encouraging for a member of our group who wasn't comfortable/familiar with bike riding.
Overall, biking was a really fun way to experience 3 wineries and the bikes weren't too heavy to maneuver and came with a basket. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys bike riding.

What an incredible experience! This is the 2nd time I've done the wine tour, although we visited different wineries on this trip, which was great! Our guide , Lynn, was amazing!!!! We were a group of 9 women, and she made all of us feel special and very safe. The wineries were all a bit unique, and a very intimate experience. The cycling was not really difficult; a nice combination of some exercise combined with lots of breaks! I HIGHLY recommend it!

If you’re looking for something different try a guided bike tour of Niagara-On-TheA-Lake with Grape Escape Wine Tours. Easy booking process and our guide for the day, Kevin really made the day a success. Loved the selection of wineries and what a beautiful way to see the area. This company knows what they’re doing!!
