A few things to know about Niagara Wine Trail Events:

• Event tickets for wine tasting are good for each day of the event. Feel free to spread your trip out over a few days if you can't make it to each winery in one day. Retain your wine glass and tasting ticket if you are attending more than one day.

• Event tickets may be purchased during the event weekend at the door or may be purchased pre-sale from our online store.

• Tickets include a wine tasting at each participating winery, a gift, food or the entertainment associated with that event and a commemorative wine glass from your starting winery.

• A "wine tasting" refers to 3-6 half ounce tastings of wine. An event ticket is good for a wine tasting at each winery. Additional tastings are extra.

• Our events are a self-guided tour, please visit our associate members for ideas on transportation, lodging, restaurants and other places to visit to while in the area.

• Please note that open container laws do apply to our wineries and we appreciate them kept inside your limo/bus, thank you!

• A wine trail map can be found here to download or contact us for a printed copy.

Glo Knight and the Seven Gnomes

Things are not happy in the Aragain Forest. Glo Knight, known for her gourmet cooking skills and love of sparkly things, has been making everyone's life miserable. This morning, however, Glo was found dead. Who has committed the dastardly deed? Is it one of her Gnomes: Cheeky, Zany, Stuffy, Fuzzy, Sparky, Dipsy or Rock? Would it be one of her family members: The Queen, The King, or her sister, Flo? Let's not forget the Prince who wants to marry Glo, or is it Flo? And of course, there are her Fairy Godmother and Fairy Godfather who are concerned about how she uses the gifts they have given her.
