A Bench day where nobody in the group has to drive.
Three or four rooms. Old-town NOTL if you still want it. The chauffeur is the designated driver. That is the entire product.

What we will not book
A 24-person tasting bus that pours the same flight at three tourist rooms and calls it the Bench. Crush, Grape Escape, Glass O’ Wine — they know the estates. So do we. The difference is the cabin is yours, and the pacing is yours.
How the day is built
Door pickup in the GTA or Hamilton. First room late morning. Lunch at a winery restaurant or Queen Street — table is yours to book. Two more rooms. Old town if anyone still wants to walk. Home.
Questions people actually ask
- Are tasting fees included?
- No. Estate tasting fees are usually C$15–C$30 a person and often waived with a purchase. We do not mark them up. We confirm the rooms 48 hours out.
- Can we add the Falls in the morning?
- Yes — Horseshoe then the Bench is the combo Toronto coaches sell as “Falls + winery.” We run it as one cabin, Falls first while the light is on it.
