Well it took some time, but Niagara Fun Tours is FINALLY proud to introduce you to our NEW Niagara Micro Brewery and Winery Tour. Enjoy a fun-filled afternoon touring all three of Niagara's Micro Breweries along with two wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

Let our well trained, fun-loving and somewhat attractive tour bus drivers pick you up at one of our many convenient pick-up locations and take you on stress-free 4 hour tour through Niagara's beverage playground.
The fun doesn't stop there! You will also be treated to a private tour of at least one brewery production facility to see just how they make their tasty brews. Now because our tour runs through lunch time, you'll be given a chance to pick-up some grub, or bring along your own snacks with you. Turn your tour into a great Niagara Getaway Packages and include a hotel room stay in the heart of Niagara's busy tourist area's.

The winery allows their students to have immediate access to a hands-on experience in a real-time working environment to produce award winning wines. You are invited to enjoy TWO COMPLIMENTARY VQA WINE SAMPLES in an interactive and relaxed setting. Step-up to their 360 degree tasting bar and learn how this magical elixir excites even the modest of wine pallets.

Cattail Creek Estate Winery
Created in 2006, Cattail Creek Estate Winery is founded on over 50 years of grape growing experience in Niagara on the Lake. Entirely family owned and operated, all of Cattail Creek’s wines are produced from grapes grown exclusively in their own vineyards. They produce artisanal wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their vineyards, all of which are located within the VQA sub appellation in Niagara on the Lake. Step inside their warm & cozy wine tasting room and boutique store as one of their friendly staff memebers pours up to Four FREE Wine Tastings per person. Enjoy white, red, blush and even maybe a Late Harvest wine tasting. Don't forget, you can't find Cattail Creek wine at your local LCBO or retail Wine Shoppe, so if you find something you like, feel free to purchase while in their store. Our 21-Passenger tour bus offers plenty of storage space.

Oast House Brewers
The Oast House is temporarily closed until late November. Fear not, as we will be going to Taps Brewery in Niagara Falls in it's place. Once Oast house is open in late November, we will add this stop back to our itinerary PLUS continuing to visit Taps (that's 4 micro-brewery stops!). Nestled amongst the Niagara wineries along Niagara Stone Road into Niagara-on-the-lake Ontario lies a big old red barn — the home of the new Niagara Oast House Brewers. The brewery is the passion of a group of local Niagara wine and beer industry friends that decided beer was their love. Once you enter this brewery your senses will be bombarded with the sweet smell of hops as they slowly ferment in to Oast Houses signature beers. Belly up to their tasting bar for a few Complimentary Beer Tastings and chat with their friendly staff on what exactly makes a great beer. Our group will stick around for awhile so you can soak in the atmosphere of this cozy brewery and of course, a chance to purchase a growler or two of their freshly made brew. Once in awhile, our groups may be treated to a private tour of their brewing area where you can see just how their popular micro brews are made (tours subject to availability).

Silversmith Brewery
Silversmith Brewery and Retail Store, once a church, has been painstakingly remodelled and expanded to include the brewing vats which provides a modern juxtaposition to the classic church facade. Glass walls open up the brewing complex to the community, allowing them to peek inside at the process. Once you step inside this rather quaint brewery you'll marvel in the surrounding word work and stain glass windows. A rather inviting and knowledge Silversmith staff member will ask you to step right up to their rustic tasting bar where you'll enjoy Complimentary Two Tastings of their specially crafted beers. You don't have to look to far to see how and where they brew their beers. Located right inside their store are their stainless steel vats busy brewing their tasty brews. Indulge their staff with any quesitons you may have on their brewing process and don't forget to purchase a Growler of beer or two once inside.
