We often get asked our opinion on which wine trail we think is the “better” of the two wine trails here in the Niagara region when our customers call us and ask - and believe me, you want to know! This question is a matter of opinion, really - and this post is going to give you our opinion on the two trails.
Hopefully it will give you a little bit of insight on which wine trail to pick when you book your Niagara Wine Tour with us.Each trail is different and fun in it’s own way!
Niagara USA Wine Trail - Featuring about 15 wineries, we think this wine trail is geared more for those who enjoy a feeling of “home”. Most of the time you will find the owners pouring your tasting glass. Some of the wineries are on a farm and some are in an old mansion. Wine prices on the Niagara USA trail are very reasonable starting at around $10 per bottle. If you like lots of fruit wines, you will love the U.S. trail.
Niagara on the Lake Wine Trail - Big, bold and contemporary is the best way to describe most of the Niagara on the Lake Wineries. In full swing it is not unusual to find 100 or more people in one of the NOTL wineries at any given time. Most bottles are $20 and up - with the average bottle $25-35. Ice wine can run well over $100 per bottle.
Whichever trail you choose, be sure that your group will be happy with the wineries that are on the trail and plan your day accordingly.
We’ll guide you and suggest the best wineries based on our knowledge and experience of the trails - either way, you are sure to enjoy our Niagara Wine Tours!Call us today at 716-284-7040 for reservations or more information - weekend summer dates are filling up fast!
