With three generations actively involved with the winery’s operations, each bottle of wine they make is a product of their family’s passion.

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!

Mo our tour guide was awesome! He was fun and informative also very caring! Had a great time! Enjoyed the people on the tour too!
We had a fantastic time on the tour. Mary was a superb guide and the trip was run with care, precission and good humour. She made everything so easy, from picking us up at our door to recommending places to eat. Each of the wineries we visited was unique and the the consultants who looked after our group were fantastic and a credit to each of the respective businesses. We particularly found Oscar in Reif to be great with the group and really informative. I would thoroughly recommend the tour. It was a great day out, offered good value for money and was a brilliant way to experience wine country without having to do any work!
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed everything from your tour guide Mary to our trusted winery partners such as Oscar at Reif! You were lovely guests to have on the tour and, are welcome back anytime!
Everything was well planned and carried out. Guide let us know at the start which wineries we would be visiting. He also let us know we would have some time to explore the historic district. Guide was knowledgeable, pleasant, and attentive to our needs. He gets a 5 in our book. Great activity for a day’s worth of enjoyment without the hassle of driving, arranging tours, etc. on our own.
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad the guide took such great care of you and that you had such a great time!
Our experience was awesome . We had an amazing day. We booked with The Winery Guys. Our tour guide Mary was the best. She really made the trip from pickup, to taking pictures , to sharing background history of the wineries and the various areas we drove thru to the downtown shopping and lunch stop. Just the best! I would highly recommend 😊🥂
Mary rocks! Thank you for joining us for the tour and the lovely review! We are so glad Mary took such great care of you!
That the driver was very knowledgeable keep us informed about the different winery in and around the area, the staff was v÷ry hospitable and was passion about the work. They also was very knowledgeable
Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad to hear you had such a great time on the tour and found your guide to be such a wealth of knowledge!
Our recent winery tour was great. We booked directly with the Winery Guys and Kevin was our Guide/driver. There were 3 other couples on the tour with us. Kevin provided some history about the region and made the tour fun; great personality. We visited three wineries. The first was the Konzelmann Estate Winery where Donna was our sommelier. Donna was very knowledgable and provided anecdotes during the tastings. We were provided with a private room for the group where we tried several wines paired with a charcuterie board. Donna was fantastic. Of all the wineries visited this was our favorite. The second winery was Reif Estate Winery where again we were given a private room for tasting. The tasting went well, but found that it was scripted; a bit rushed. The third winery was Pillitteri Estate Winery. We were given a variety of wines and ice wine to taste. The tastings were done in an open area with others, which made it quite noisy. Our sommelier was great and we were given a tour of the winemaking facilities which was very interesting. At all the wineries you were able to purchase various wines as well as other items. Booking a tour with the Winery Guys allowed us to enjoy the tastings without the worry of having to drive. I would highly recommend booking a tour with them.
Thank you so much for joining us for a tour and the lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed everything from the wineries, to the scenery itself and, of course Kevin as your tour guide! He is a world-class tour guide! You are welcome back on the tour anytime!
First and last pickup from Niagara falls meant 1 hr in bus each Way. Driver was good last tour was excellent.
Thank you for the review.
Great winery tour with excellent wines and a beautiful setting. Kevin was a fantastic tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience fun and informative. Highly recommend both the winery tasting tour with Kevin!
Thank you for the fantastic review and joining us for a tour! We are so glad you had such a great time with Kevin, he rocks!
Nice wineries with many good wines. Enjoyed having lunch at Niagara on the Lake. Beautiful little town.
Thanks for the lovely review!
Konzelmann winery was excellent. Reif wasn’t bad. HOwever, wasn’t fond of their wine tasting selection. Pillitteri winery wine tour was very informative. However, the other tours were very noisy and distracting. Could have scheduled better so they didn’t overlap each other. Our driver Mo was excellent.
Thanks for joining us for the tour! Glad to hear you enjoyed everything! It is important to note that if you are going out in public, like to the wineries, on a shared tour, during the summer, which is peak season, there will be other people at the wineries! This is outside of our control, nor would we ever prevent anyone from getting to enjoy the wineries whether they are on tour with us or not!
