Tour Itinerary

Wayne gretzky estates.

Despite being seemingly different worlds, the worlds of whisky, wine, beer production, and hockey share unexpected similarities. Wayne Gretzky's playing and coaching style mirrors the values of Niagara's exclusive winery, distillery, and craft brewery. Both prioritize achieving greatness, emphasizing the importance of passionate teamwork in producing exceptional results. Furthermore, they share a belief in the power of superstition, symbolized by the loonie buried in the ice. With admission tickets included, this unique experience combines the best of both worlds for enthusiasts seeking a blend of sports and alcohol production.

Niagara Oast House Brewers

Steeped in history since its construction in the late 1800s, our Barn has witnessed countless stories. Today, it proudly hosts the Niagara Oast House Brewers, serving as a vibrant hub for crafting exceptional beer. Within its walls, you'll discover distinct spaces, each offering a unique ambiance. Step into our tasting room, fondly known as The Beer Shed, to savor our finest brews. For special occasions, our events space, The Hayloft, provides a charming setting. And don't miss the opportunity to unwind on Niagara's most captivating outdoor Patio. With admission tickets included, prepare for an unforgettable experience at our Barn.

Limited Distilling

Limited Distilling was purposefully created as a space where we could delve into our recipe ideas and satisfy our curiosities. Our distillery is equipped with a diverse range of apparatus, transforming it into a true 'spirit' laboratory. Unlike many other spirit companies that focus on producing a limited selection or even just one type of neutral-tasting alcohol, Limited Distilling prioritizes the exploration of a wide array of products. We embrace the distinctiveness and characteristics of each batch we produce. By conducting small spirit runs, we have the freedom to experiment with different local and international ingredients. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to share our thrilling assortment of spirit creations with you. Admission tickets are included for your convenience and enjoyment.

The Exchange Brewery

Nestled in the historic Old Town heritage district of Niagara-on-the-Lake, The Exchange stands as a premier brewery and tasting room. While the town has long been celebrated as Ontario's wine country, it is now emerging as a vibrant hub for craft brewing. Drawing inspiration from the region's rich brewing and agricultural heritage dating back to the late 1700s, The Exchange seamlessly merges traditional and modern techniques. Our unwavering commitment lies in crafting exceptional craft beers that showcase the finest ingredients, including local Niagara fruits. From a delightful array of American styles to unique sour and funky Belgian-inspired beers and ales, our selection caters to diverse palates. Immerse yourself in this experience with an admission ticket that accompanies your visit.

Small Batch Spirits

Made from Local Niagara Fruit & Grains

Farm to Glass

The spirits created at our Niagara Distillery come from freshly ripened fruit, straight from our farm.

Our small batch fruit spirits use the freshly fallen fruit collected on our farms at our Ontario Distillery. Using this incredible fruit not only reduces food waste, it supports farmers and families while protecting the farmland and rich soils of the Niagara Region for the generations to come.

Tender Fruit

There’s a reason we call it Tender Fruit. Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Plums, Apricots and Cherries bruise easily. Grocery store consumers are particular in what they purchase; the ripest, juiciest and sweetest fruit often goes to waste. We’ve changed that by creating a fine, top shelf local Spirit in Niagara.

Amanda was such an excellent host and tour guide, everyone had such a great time. It was obvious she’s cultivated some really strong relationships with the wineries as everyone spoke highly of her and gave us lots of extras on the tours.

Thank you Amanda for hosting our group today. Your attention to detail and well appointed van made it a great experience for all. Great Job.

We had such a wonderful time! It was so nice seeing you, thank you for such a wonderful wine tour!

Amanda was the best wine tour guide! She is so outgoing and friendly and made the experience one to remember for our group of 8! I highly recommend booking a wine tour with Amanda

Thanks Amanda for a wonderful day. It was certainly more than expected. We had a ball.

We recently arranged a tour with Amanda to celebrate a family birthday.  Amanda provided terrific suggestions and guidance to support the planned agenda for the day.  With great attention to detail, our day was expertly organized from start to finish!  Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we are already planning our next event.

We had the best of times! Amanda was so responsive – e-mailing back immediately when we enquired, sending itineraries, checking on preferences. I would highly recommend this!!

We had the best time on our staff wine tour *thank you to our tour guide Amanda from Glass O’ Wine Tours

Amanda was a wonderful tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond for our bachelorette party! 100% recommend her for any and all wine tours in the area. 10/10

Amanda, you were a wonderful host, thanks for making this such a seamless and fantastic day!

We had an amazing time. Amanda was so easy to work with and found the perfect venues for us to sample wine. Thanks for an amazing time!!

Amanda you were the key to such a successful weekend. Thank you so so much!

Thank you for a wonderful day. Couldn’t ask for a better day!. Looking forward to the next one.

Thank you Amanda for making the wedding weekend amazing thank you for your attention to all the details and organizing the tours and rides. This wedding wouldn’t have turned out as good as it did with out YOU !!!

Amanda was fabulous we had the best time on our wine tour! She set up the perfect selection of wineries and even added an extra one in as a surprise for our ladies weekend. If you are in the Crystal Beach Niagara region this is a definite must!

We had the most wonderful experience with Amanda and can’t wait to book our next tour!!

I cannot recommend Mandy and her company enough. She is so kind and made the wine tour planning process a breeze!

I booked a wine tour for my friend’s bachelorette, and she took the stress of planning out of the equation! She gave me many recommendations on different wineries and was super flexible with our schedule, which had a last-minute hiccup that Mandy quickly resolved. I received a draft itinerary before the tour date and could change a few stops to suit our schedule (flexibility is what she does best! There are no strict timelines to adhere to).

All the girls adored her, one of the girls had to take a break to pump, and Mandy was just so respectful and understanding. The bride had a wonderful time, as did all the girls. 10/10 would rebook with Mandy.

Absolutely excellent!!!!!! Amanda is amazing !🥂

Niagara College picks up three more medals at 2024 U.S. Open Whiskey and Spirits Championship

(From left) Santosh Giri, Francis Mlingi, Anita Malla and Harjot Sethi, made up the team that created Tanzanite Gin, one of NC's winning entries at the 2024 U.S. Open Whiskey & Spirits Championship.

Competing against craft distilleries from across North America, Niagara College’s Teaching Distillery was ranked among the best when it was awarded two gold medals, a silver and a bronze, and finished third in the Spirit Distilleries Category at the 2024 U.S. Open Whiskey and Spirits Championship.

“Our Craft Distilling students are gaining the skills they need to lead and succeed in the industry at our Teaching Distillery, and it’s getting noticed at an international level,” said Steve Gill, General Manager of the College’s Learning Enterprises. “Winning these awards is evidence that our students are learning from the best and making their mark with the education they’re receiving at Niagara College.”

NC received gold medals for its School Spirits Whisky and Tanzanite Gin. In the Anything Goes category, the Distillery’s Christmas Gin earned it a silver medal, and its Mediterranean Vodka was awarded a bronze.

“It’s really exciting for us to get the chance to submit these projects (for judging) because it really speaks to the hard work of the students and all the time we spend together developing these products,” said Head Distiller David Dickson. “(The awards) showcase not only these students, but all the products that we make and the capability of our graduates entering the workforce.”

It’s not the first time that Tanzanite Gin and Mediterranean Vodka impressed judges; earlier this year, both spirits were awarded medals at the 2024 Canadian Artisan Spirit Competition as well.

Dickson said it’s the College’s first time winning at multiple competitions with the same entries.

Based off a highly rectified neutral spirit, Mediterranean Vodka includes several spices that are often found in Mediterranean cooking, including basil, mint, lemon and coriander. Meanwhile, Tanzanite Gin is a bright and refreshing spirt with some wood character in the background. It was inspired by the classic London dry style with some flavours of the new style of gin.

Christmas Gin was a new entry for the Distillery. It was a creative endeavor between Assistant Distiller Ian Bickle and graduating students of the Artisan Distilling Program . It’s a baking spice forward gin with a mix of cinnamon, cranberries, allspice and clove that uses a combination of techniques to give the gin flavour.

“The 2022 group was a smaller cohort, so we were able to do some more fun distillations,” Bickle said. “So I challenged them and said: ‘Let’s make a graduation gin. Everyone, give me one botanical for the gin.’ I created the recipe from what they gave me, and we distilled it on their final distillation day. There were some very interesting heavy botanicals, which inspired a gin reminiscent of Christmas cakes and cookies.”

He approached Dickson with the idea of a second batch of Christmas gin the next year, repurposing student gin. Dickson agreed and Bickle produced the 2023 batch release of Christmas gin, which was entered into the competition.

In another first for the competition, several NC Artisan Distilling alumni were invited to judge a portion this year’s event. They were not allowed to judge any of the College’s entries.

Dickson said it was the first time former students were able to volunteer at the U.S. Open Whiskey & Spirits Championship, though alumni have judged beer competitions in the past.

Mediterranean Vodka and Tanzanite Gin are available for a limited time at the College’s Wine Visitor + Education Centre while supplies last, while a new batch of Christmas gin will be released closer to the holidays.

Niagara College acknowledges that we are gathered on the shared traditional lands of the Anishinaabe (pronounced: ah-nish-naw-bay) and Haudenosaunee (pronounced: ho-deh-neh-show-nee). We offer our sincere gratitude to them as the stewards of this land, which is protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement’s three principles: to take only what you need, leave enough for others, and always keep the dish clean. Today, many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities from across Turtle Island continue to live and work in this territory. Acknowledging the peoples whose territory we are on, and the agreements that guide their stewardship of the land, reminds us to reflect on and respect their unique relationship to this land. It also is an invitation for all of us to identify and engage in actions that respect and reinforce our commitments to Truth and Reconciliation and Indigenous Rights.
