Just because it’s fall doesn’t mean the wine tour season is over. In fact, this might be one of the best times of year to plan a wine tour.
With colourful vineyards, cooler temperatures and harvest season underway, both Niagara-on-the-Lake and Prince Edward County offer plenty to explore during the fall. These are two of Ontario’s best-known wine regions, with everything from crisp whites and sparkling wines to bold reds and Canada’s famous Icewine.
In this blog, we’ll take a look at wineries in both regions, dining and accommodation options, and how you can plan a custom and private wine tour with Toronto Airport Limo. So, join us and start planning your next fall wine tour or weekend getaway.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is home to more than 40 wineries, ranging from larger estates to smaller tasting rooms. The region’s location between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment creates ideal conditions for cool-climate wines, making it a popular destination throughout the year.
Fall adds another reason to visit. Harvest season brings changing colours throughout the vineyards and plenty of opportunities to enjoy tastings, food pairings and winery experiences.

There are many wineries you can add to your itinerary, including:
- Peller Estates Winery
- Trius Winery
- Stratus Vineyards
- Inniskillin Niagara Estate Winery
- Château des Charmes
These are only a few options, giving you plenty of flexibility when creating your own wine tour route.
Dining and Staying in Niagara-on-the-Lake
A wine tour can easily become a full fall getaway. Niagara-on-the-Lake offers farm-to-table restaurants, winery dining, cafés, historic inns and boutique hotels, making it easy to add lunch, dinner or an overnight stay to your plans.
Fall Wine Tours in Prince Edward County
If you’re looking to travel east of Toronto, Prince Edward County offers another great Ontario wine-country experience.
The County has more than 40 wineries and is known for cool-climate wines, relaxed tasting rooms and a growing food and beverage scene. During the fall, the region comes alive with harvest activities, colourful country roads and seasonal dining.
Wineries to Visit in Prince Edward County
Depending on your route, your wine tour could include:
- Norman Hardie Winery
- Sandbanks Estate Winery
- The Grange of Prince Edward

- Waupoos Estates Winery
Many wineries offer tastings and other experiences, but hours can change with the season, so it’s always a good idea to check ahead and make reservations where required.
Turn Your Prince Edward County Wine Tour Into a Weekend
Prince Edward County is also well known for its local dining scene. Restaurants throughout the region feature seasonal menus inspired by ingredients grown and produced in The County.
If one day isn’t enough, you’ll also find boutique accommodations, inns and even winery stays. Huff Estates, for example, combines a winery with on-site accommodations, while Waupoos Estates offers The Farmhouse overlooking the vineyards and surrounding countryside.
