One of Niagara-on-the-Lake's founding family wineries, established in 1982 by The Reif Family, and later fulfilled by Klaus W. Reif. Today, Reif produces wines from its 125-acre vineyard first planted in 1977 and is in the Niagara River sub-appellation where sun-loving grape varieties grow most excellently. A long growing season is refined by the river, as air currents hinder early spring and late fall frosts. Our vineyard is planted in Ontario’s warmest sub-appellation which is ideal to produce rich full-bodied wines. Our farm is also home to some of the oldest vinifera plantings in Canada—a benefit to growers in cooler climates like Ontario, as mature vines ripen earlier. They also produce wines that reflect the ‘terroir', so when you taste our wines, you will taste the essence of our vineyard. Here we will do 3-4 wine tastings!

Great tour! 3 different wineries, each offered a different tasting experience. Moe was great. Small issue with last tour when two groups occupied the same area at one time. Otherwise, thorough tour. Nice touch to visit the actual vineyard and see the grapes on the vine. Tasty charcuterie as well.
Legit and fun and easy going experience Driver was nice and on time Staff was knowledgeable Wine was great
Wonderful day in Niagara on the Lake with a great guide who made the day very enjoyable. Thank you Winery Guys Tours!
got to try plenty of different wines at 3 wineries we visited. On a tight schedule , but there is still a bit of time to browse and purchase wine at each winery after the wine tastings. The wineries offered a diverse selection of wines, I felt this tour is great for an intro for newer people to wine but may not be so for people who are already deep in the wine game.
We have done other wine tours before, and we have been lucky that our tour guide has been so friendly and knowledgeable. This time was no exception! Our tour guide Jeff was amazing, and we visited really great family-owned wineries. We visited Reif Winery, Konzalman and Pilliterri Wineries. Charcuterie was amazing and well appreciated by the time we went to the second winery - so much delicious wine! Each winery tour guide was really great as well, especially the last one at Pilliterri! He was so generous, and we were very lucky indeed to have tasted an incredible array of delicious wines. Thank you to all three guides from each of the wineries, and a special thanks to Jeff who was our driver and guide as well. This was an excellent way to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Cheers!
Overall, an enjoyable experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect way to visit the wineries of Niagara on the Lake. I'd definitely recommend this tour.
We had a great time from pick up to drop off. It was just amazing day and had a bonus because we got to do alittle bit of shopping. The driver Guy was awesome so thank you for everything.
The pickup and drop off was seamless (you enter your location & they grab you from your hotel or Airbnb). The travel between wineries was extremely comfortable in a large van. Our favorite part was having Jamie as our guide — so down to the earth, easy to chat with, and very knowledgeable about the region (wine and beyond). He has a system in place that made a completely stress free commute around town. We visited 3 wineries that all had a unique history. Be open to trying Ice Wine if you’re doing a tasting and tour in the region.
Totally enjoyed our tour!Great variety of wineries. The second winery we visited had the best hostess. Donna at Konzelmann Estate Winery really knew her stuff!! She took the time to ensure she understood what everyone liked and on top of her incredible knowledge, she was a ball of fire and and so much fun! She really made the tour for us. Our stop at Niagara on the lake for a bite to eat was lovely. We also had a really great group of people in our tour and our bus driver was very helpful. Great job all around.!!
Wonderful knowledgeable driver! The winery’s we went to were lovely as well. Extra thanks to our driver who helped my husband (who was in an air cast and crutches) and took great care of us.
