We recently had the pleasure of experiencing our first bike and wine tour, thanks to our dear friend Wayne, who gifted us this experience. Our small group of six made for an ideal day of cycling, wine tasting, dining, and engaging conversation. Our guide, Ian, was exceptional and ensured the experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. We began at Grape Escape, where we collected our bikes before heading to Jackson-Triggs for a comprehensive winery tour. We gained insight into the winemaking process, from vineyard to bottle, while sampling a selection of wines along the way. From there, we cycled to Caroline Cellars for additional wine tasting and a delicious lunch. The selection was excellent, and depending on the package chosen, lunch included a glass of wine. The food, conversation, and company made this stop a highlight of the day. Our final stop was Marynissen Estates before returning to our starting point. Overall, it was a full day filled with enjoyable experiences, meaningful conversations, great company, excellent food, and, of course, outstanding wine. Would we have been satisfied with just two wineries? Absolutely. However, the 20 km bike ride elevated the entire experience. Thank you, Ian, for your outstanding guidance throughout the tour. You were excellent. Here’s to more adventures, more miles, and more memories.
What a wonderful review — thank you for sharing your first bike and wine tour experience with us! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the combination of cycling through Niagara wine country, discovering the wineries, a delicious lunch and, of course, plenty of great wine along the way. For us, the ride between stops is a big part of what makes our bicycle tours such a unique way to experience Niagara-on-the-Lake. We’ll make sure Ian sees your wonderful comments. He’ll be thrilled to know he helped make the day so memorable for your group. Thank you for choosing Grape Escape. We hope this was the first of many cycling and wine adventures! 🚲🍷
It was a nice day. Wish there was a little more wine. My only real complaint is the last of three wineries. It was not a nice place and definitely not a good winery vibe.
Thank you so much for joining us and for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re really pleased to hear you had a nice day exploring Niagara wine country with us. We’re sorry to hear that the final winery wasn’t quite the experience you were hoping for. One of the things we love about Niagara-on-the-Lake is the variety of wineries, from larger established estates to smaller, more relaxed and rustic locations, and we completely understand that everyone has their own preference when it comes to atmosphere and style. We really appreciate your comments, as it helps review the wineries we include on our tours and make the overall experience even better. Thank you again for choosing Grape Escape Wine Tours. We hope you enjoyed the wines, the scenery and your day with us, and we’d love to welcome you back to Niagara wine country again! 🍷
Winery Cyle Tour and Delicious Lunch . We went for a quick getaway for a few days. We would highly recommend Grape Escape Cycle Tour! Our guide John was so friendly and accommodating. It was such a great experience and they even drove our purchases back for us. I would return and do this again. Thanks for a relaxing fun tour.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 🍷🚲 We’re delighted you chose Grape Escape as part of your Niagara-on-the-Lake getaway and had such a relaxing and fun day exploring wine country with us. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to John — he’ll be thrilled to hear them! And we’re glad you enjoyed our wine purchase pick-up service; it’s one of the little extras we offer so our cycling guests can enjoy the wineries without having to carry their purchases along the way. Thank you for recommending Grape Escape Wine Tours, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back for another cycling and wine adventure the next time you’re in Niagara! Cheers! 🍇🥂
I definitely would recommend this. We upgraded to e bikes and had a very enjoyable time. I would recommend Chris as a guide very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Dave was a great tour guide! He was fun, patient, and very knowledgeable about the area.Would recommend to friends and family.
Perfect experience !!! Our guide Dave was awesome !!! We will definetly do the tour again when will be back in Niagara !
Thank you for the fantastic review! We love hearing that you had such a great experience exploring Niagara wine country with us. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Dave — he’ll really appreciate them. There’s always more to discover (and more wine to taste!) in Niagara, so we’ll look forward to welcoming you back for another Grape Escape tour on your next visit. Cheers!
We absolutely loved our day! Very easy biking, even for inexperienced bicyclists! Beautiful wineries with wonderful guide Diane! We highly recommend doing this tour! Grape Escape provided excellent service!!
Great, fun experience. Ted was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable of the area and about vineyards. Three wineries had a variety of tasting options. Great time!
Thanks for joining us and for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the variety of wines, the wineries and your time exploring Niagara wine country. We’ll make sure Ted hears your comments — his knowledge of the Niagara area and its vineyards is a wonderful part of the experience he brings to our tours. Thanks again for choosing Grape Escape. We hope you’ll come and explore a few more Niagara wineries with us next time!
The Bike-and-Winery with lunch was a great choice to give visiting friends an engaging, informative and enjoyable experience first day in Niagara. The weather was also *perfect* but our tour-guide Diane, the bikes & fittings at Grape Escape, I think would have made the most of any day. Full tour of larger winery to start, then lunch at a smaller place that had a good restaurant, and ended at a small winery with a quiet patio. Would absolutely do the bike tour again instead of a bus tour.
Thank you! We love that you chose our Bike & Wine Tour with Lunch as the perfect way to introduce your visiting friends to Niagara wine country. It’s wonderful to hear that Diane helped make the day so enjoyable 😀 Exploring Niagara-on-the-Lake by bicycle really is a special way to experience the area, with the scenery and fresh air becoming just as much a part of the day as the wine! Thank you for choosing Grape Escape, and we especially love hearing that you’d choose two wheels over four next time too. We hope to have you back again!
Excellent customer service. Worth every dollar!!!! Graham our tour guide was amazing!!! Thank you so much for a great day!!
