Summary:
Please don’t visit Niagara Falls without taking this tour!! I cannot say enough good things about it. The distance from Niagara Falls to here is around 30 minutes. The drive is so nice and scenic, especially during the fall season. The farm is so cute! All staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The tour of the maple trees was awesome. It was so fun to learn about Canada’s maple production and everything that goes into the process. The sweetest part was the syrup tasting. Ooooooomg so good!!! My group selected the charcuterie option and it was the cherry on top. I believe if this option is sold out on Viator you can add it on when at the farm. Everything about this tour was tasty and fun. Don’t hesitate to book it.

Summary:
The setting was surrounded by beautiful farmland and woods. The guide was engaging and informative during her presentation of how maple syrup is harvested and produced. A wooden cart pulled by a tractor took us into the woods for a close up look at the harvesting process and a special treat of pure maple candy. We felt the prices in the sweet shop were reasonable. We added the tasting board experience after the tour and highly recommend this. We were there a little over 3 hours including arriving at least 15 minutes before the tour, 2 hours for the tour, 1/2 hour for the tasting board and time for shopping. The farm is located less than a 30-minute drive from Niagara Falls. A must do experience in Ontario, Canada.

Summary:
The Discover Maple Sugar Bush Tour and tasting board were amazing. Nathan was a knowledgeable friendly guide and we learnt so much about maple syrup. 😋 This would have to be one of our highlights from our Canada trip and fully recommend it.
