Arrive in Toronto and get your car rental for the next few days, then make your way to your city centre hotel accommodation. Toronto is Canada's fashionable and fast-paced city that attracts people from around the world. This results in a multicultural flare for dining at restaurant patios and perusing the many markets for foods and mementos. Torontonions have great pride in their city as street parties break out for hockey and basketball moments. The numerous museums each have a unique focus or feature like European Chateaus (Casa Loma), Islamic civilizations (Agha Khan), and even shoes (Bata Shoe Museum).

Once checked into your hotel, enjoy the many dining options in the area, including The Old Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar – a restored winery that serves authentic Tuscan-inspired food and woodfired pizza.
Today, the summer winery getaway begins by visiting a stunning vineyard, featuring many varieties of wine including ice-wine - dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. Explore Reif Estate Winery, one of the original vineyards in the region. The winery is also home to some of the oldest vinifera plantings in Canada, a benefit to growers in cooler climates like Ontario, as mature vines ripen earlier. Enjoy a walking tour of the winery and try 3 of their signature wines while getting a behind the scenes look at what goes in to making the award-winning wines! Enjoy an evening of leisure at Niagara-on-the-Lake with a large selection of places to dine.
Enjoy another afternoon of wine tasting at the Grande estate of Chateau Des Charmes with approximately 120 acres of vineyards. Château des Charmes was founded in 1978 by Paul Bosc, a fifth-generation French winegrower. When you arrive in the foyer of the Château, you will be greeted by your personal guide with a glass of Brut sparkling wine. Be taken on a private guided tour of the St. David’s Bench Vineyard, the crush room, underground barrel cellar and bottling line as you learn the process of how this world-famous wine is crafted. After the tour, you will be invited into a stylish lounge for an educational tasting of four premium wines, paired alongside Canadian cheeses and accoutrements for the perfect match. Enjoy an evening of leisure at Niagara-on-the-Lake. We recommend taking a stroll through the tree-lined avenues of Niagara-on-the-Lake past 1700-era buildings or alternatively shopping in town at the boutique shops.
After a relaxed morning at leisure, drive 240 km back to Toronto to return your rental car.
