"I was part of a wine tour today and I just wanted to let you know of the three wineries we visited, I found yours to be the most extensive tour of a facility, the most informative about wine tasting, with the most gracious and warm reception by staff...I'll be sure to visit your store in downtown Ottawa when I return home. Thank you so much."

Winegrowing Discovery Tour

$10.00 per guest. Reservations not required.

Learn what it means to grow wine “Bosc Family Style” through a guided tour of our facility. You will start in our award-winning St. David’s Bench Vineyard in the shadow of the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve to see first hand the benefits of sustainable agriculture. Next it’s on to our Harvest Room, underground geothermal cellars (note: you will be walking up and down a flight of stairs) and the bottling line. Of course the tour would not be complete without sampling the finished product! One of our Wine Associates will take you through a guided tasting of three of our VQA wines. Includes $5 credit to be used with same day wine purchase. One credit per purchase please.

Experience our Winegrowing Discovery Tours everyday (except New Year Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. in English, 12:00 (noon) in French and 11:15 am in Japanese.
