Grape Grower Educational Tour: Niagara Peninsula

In partnership with Sojourn Travel Advisors, the New York Wine & Grape Foundation is offering an exclusive educational travel experience in 2026 designed specifically for New York grape growers.
Join us for a four-day, grower-focused “skillcation” through Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula from March 30 to April 2, 2026—one of the most comparable cool-climate regions to New York.
Led by Niagara wine expert Magdalena Kaiser, this trip offers hands-on learning around climate resilience, disease pressure, organic practices, clonal diversity, sparkling-focused viticulture, and more. With vineyard tours, research discussions at Brock University’s CCOVI, and dedicated time with leading growers and winemakers, participants will return home equipped with practical strategies.
