Services & Process

Wine tours here go beyond a simple tasting by giving visitors a look at the production side of winemaking, from the cellar to the bottling process. The tasting room offers structured flights that let you compare multiple wines side by side, with guidance from staff who can explain what's in the glass. This format works well for first-time wine country visitors who want context along with their pour. Groups touring Niagara County often include a stop at a wine cellar like this one because the educational component adds depth to the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a wine tour at Niagara Landing Wine Cellars include?
Tours typically cover the production facility including the cellar and aging areas, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how the wine is made before you taste it. The combination of education and tasting makes it a more complete experience than a tasting room visit alone.
Do I need to book a wine tour in advance?
It's worth calling ahead at (716) 433-8405 to check tour schedules and availability, especially during the busy summer and fall seasons. Walk-ins may be accommodated for tasting room visits, but tours often run on a set schedule.
Is Lockport a good stop on a Niagara wine trail itinerary?
Lockport is one of the better-positioned towns for a wine trail day trip, with multiple wineries within a short drive and the added attraction of the historic Erie Canal locks nearby. Pairing a winery visit with a walk along the canal makes for a solid afternoon itinerary.
What wine styles does Niagara County specialize in?
The Niagara Escarpment and proximity to Lake Ontario create conditions particularly suited to aromatic whites like Riesling and Gewurztraminer, along with red varieties like Cabernet Franc that benefit from the extended growing season. Dessert and ice wine styles are also part of the regional tradition.
Can visitors from Canada cross the border to visit Lockport wineries?
Yes, visitors from Ontario regularly cross into Niagara County for wine trail experiences, and Lockport is a straightforward drive from the border crossing at Niagara Falls. Just be aware of any bottle limits on what you can bring back across the border when you return.
Is Niagara Landing Wine Cellars suitable for a corporate group outing?
Wine tours with an educational component tend to work well for corporate groups looking for a memorable experience that isn't a standard dinner or bar night. Contacting the winery directly is the best way to discuss group sizes and any custom arrangements.
