If you’re craving a day that blends scenic countryside, handcrafted drinks, and unforgettable local flavors, it’s time to trade the city buzz for a curated wine and cider escape. Just beyond Ottawa and Gatineau lies a hidden world of small, family-run wineries and cider mills—where every sip tells a story.
Our two signature experiences—the Pontiac Wine & Cider Tour and the Petite Nation Wine & Cider Tour—are designed for exactly that: slowing down, savoring more, and enjoying the journey as much as the destination. Get ready to discover Ottawa's best wine tours.
🍷 Two Tours, One Incredible Escape
Both tours offer a thoughtfully crafted day trip with:
- Visits to 2 wineries and 1 cider mill
- Private tours with the owners at every stop
- Access to small, family-run locations for a truly authentic experience
- Round-trip transportation from Ottawa and Gatineau
But each tour brings its own unique flavor.
