 Whether
you're from Ontario, or a visitor to Ontario, plan on spending several days in wine
country — there's just so much to see and do.
ANYTIME. ANY SEASON. ANY REASON.
Wineries are open year round and
each season brings its own special rewards.
FACTS
 Hours of
operation
With some exceptions, wineries usually open at 10 or 11 am and close from
5 pm through early evening. Hours can change seasonally so it's best to call ahead or
visit the winery website.- Guided tours
Tours are led by well informed winery staff, who will lead you through the
winemaking process from the vineyard to the bottling stage. Guided tours are complimentary
at some wineries, others charge a small fee. Most tours conclude with tastings at the
winery boutique.
- Tour hours
Hours vary from winery to winery. Larger wineries usually offer guided
public tours hourly or several times a day. Smaller wineries may offer one daily tour or
by appointment only. Self-guided tours are available at a few wineries during operating
hours. Again, check with each winery.
