How do Wine Trail Events Work?

Print out your e-mail order confirmation when purchasing your advance ticket online. You will show your email confirmation at your chosen starting winery to redeem your tasting ticket, and wine glass. We will need to match your order number and the last name the tickets were purchased under. E-mails on your smart phone are acceptable if you do not have a printer.

No tickets will be mailed. Absolutely NO refunds for event tickets. We offer exchanges only.

Tickets do not include transportation or lodging. Please make your own arrangements.

A valid photo ID with proof of age is required to participate in wine tasting. Please have your ID ready upon arrival.

All wineries participate each day of the event unless noted.

>Wine Trail events held at the wineries are self-guided. Feel free to visit as many wineries as you wish, there is no defined “start” and “end” point to the wine trail.

Groups should purchase tickets together under ONE order. This will make sure everyone starts at the same winery. If there are not enough tickets remaining at a starting point to accommodate your group please select a different starting winery. Questions about events and purchasing tickets should be directed to: sales@niagarawinetrail.org

 

Important Information for Events and Tickets:

Your tasting ticket and wine glass must be retained for each day of the event.

All Wine Trail events held at the wineries end at 5:00 PM. Some wineries may be open for regular business past the event end time.

To avoid overcrowding, please select your preference for a starting winery when you reserve your tickets online. The number of online tickets remaining for each starting winery will be shown at the bottom of the winery’s ticket page in the online store. You will start at your assigned winery and then proceed at your own pace in the direction most convenient for you. This helps to keep traffic flowing around the trail, and helps to minimize check-in delays.

Advance ticket sales end online before the event starts. The deadline for online sales is posted on each event page.  Tickets may be sold at the door during the event for the at-the-door price if the event does not sell out. This will be noted on our website if tickets for an event are limited. Our wineries are ALWAYS open for regular business and tastings during wine trail events.

We appreciate your respect for our wineries and other guests. Have fun and please drink responsibly!
