Description:

Fill your glass with distinctive ales, lagers, and ciders as you bounce between breweries and orchards on this delicious excursion. From the hop vine to the apple branch, your experienced guide takes you to all the best places to examine the refreshing work of local beer and cider experts.

Enter the tasting room and hit the taps at Oast House Brewery to enjoy a wide range of styles, including well-balanced pints from their Farmhouse Ale Collection. After you’ve had your frothy fill, head toward the shores of Lake Ontario and the heritage apple orchards of Ironwood Cider. Get the chance to taste crisp hard cider, and learn about the processes that turn bitter fruit into beloved beverages.

Behind the ivy-covered brick walls of a 100-year-old church, Silversmith Brewing is your next stop and a great spot to try a dark lager, made using recipes and techniques that date back to 13th-century Germany.

As your day draws to a close, visit the Niagara College Teaching Brewery, where students gather around barrels of fermenting beer instead of desks. Find out how malt masters pass on their knowledge to future brewers, and consider trying concoctions crafted by the eager novices. On your return to Niagara Falls, indulge in a sweet side trip to Chocolate FX for a factory tour and samples of their tasty treats.
