Groups of 8 or more are required to make reservations, and it's recommended that you do so at least two days in advance. Tours can also be booked through Rupp Limousine. 

It depends on the winery. Several of our partner wineries that serve food include Arundel Cellars & Brewing, 21 Brix, Five & 20 Spirits and Brewing, and Yori Cellars & Brewing. Please check out the individual winery websites to see menus.

Each winery has its own method. In general, you pay for a sampling of a set number of wines, select which wines you want to taste, and an on-site expert provides you with a small sample while describing the wine's notes and flavors. Learn more about the Seven S's of Tasting here. 

The wineries in Lake Erie Wine Country are open year-round, but the most popular time to visit is during the fall harvest season, from mid-August through mid-November. 

Absolutely! You can visit a winery to purchase bottles for gifts, as well as wine and grape-themed gift items, souvenirs, and apparel. Many wineries offer grape juice, and some even offer juice flights, allowing visitors to sample and taste the way grapes differ: alcohol-free. Most wineries host events and live music throughout the year that is fun for anyone to attend.
