Discovery Passes are very flexible and can be used any time during the Icewine Festival dates at any participating winery
Passes can be shared, used over numerous dates and you can use more than one ticket at each winery.
Please note that the Discovery Pass program is for visiting participating wineries only. The Discovery Pass is not part of any other programming and cannot be used at any of the weekend events taking place on the streets of Twenty Valley, Niagara-on-the-Lake or the Niagara Falls Icewine event.
If you are travelling as a group over 6 it is recommended to contact the wineries in advance so they are prepared for groups. You can find contact information for participating wineries. Information is also available in our Festival Guide.
We strongly encourage purchasing your Discovery Passes in advance of your visit. It is a very busy season and wineries have a limited supply of Passes and there is no guarantee that Passes will be available for sale when you arrive. To avoid wait times and disappointment, should the winery be out of Passes, it is recommended to have your Discovery Passes in advance- they can be purchased online 24 hours at http://niagarawinefestival.com/tickets
