A Must!!

Christiana_R, Oct 2025

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.

Fun and educational

The experience was fun and educational. Our host kept us fully engaged with the science and facts behind the maple syrups. His sense of humor was amazing and kept the experience very interactive. The tafee making and tasting at the end was amazing. Would strongly recommend people to do this.

This was a wonderful learning experience for my family and me. Please complete your experience with the tasting and platters! It made the difference in deciding to select more goodies to take home. We loved the maple bbq, maple blueberry jam, and dark maple. Everyone was absolutely kind and sweet! Also completely new was the maple taffy!

Marvelous Maple Tour

Lynette_H, Jun 2024

Great tour, tastings, and staff was wonderful! Learned a lot about syrup production and the maple ice tea was awesome!

Fantastic family experience

Tracy_W, Jun 2024

Fantastic small group tour in beautiful countryside not far from Niagara. It was so good to get out of the hustle and bustle, see some of the county and learn about how maple syrup is harvested and produced. Lots of tasting opportunities including making 'taffy on snow' lollipops. The tractor ride into the forest to see the trees was lovely and we ended our tour with optional cheese/meats tasting boards which was enough for lunch. Would highly recommend this tour if in the Niagara area.

Tasty and fun

Devin_M, Jun 2024

Great tour. Loved the maple taffy and tasting board. Very interesting and fun tour through the shop and forest, Lauren was awesome!

Who knew maple syrup could be used in so many different ways

Amanda_K, Jun 2024

We took the kids on this as something different to do in Niagara than the falls. It was an educational experience for us all and a lot of fun. The part we all enjoyed the most was making the maple candies at the end. We also did a tasting after our tour and enjoyed several maple infused products. There were so many great ones that we walked away with more maple products than just syrup.

Really fun and informative!

Randall_S, Sep 2023

This was a great tour. Learned about Maple Syrup and why there's different colors and why it cost so much (lots of work goes into the process!) ABSOLUTELY LOVED the "tasting" part of the tour! You actually walk around their forest of trees via a tractor pulled cart ride!

Amazing experience with Luc at White Meadows Farms

Hamidou_A, Sep 2023

We had an amazing time at White Meadows Farms. Very interesting and fun experience. We had the chance to taste some amazing products. Our tout guide Luc was the best! The whole staff was very nice and welcoming. Thank you very much!

Maple Syrup Run

Claudia_P, Aug 2023

This was my first time to Canada and I wanted to experience this for myself. Leah was an amazing tour guide she definitely knew her thing about maple syrup production. I really enjoyed the trip and the scenery woth corn and other crops growing around in the field. It’s a drive to get there but it’s worth it. If anyone were to visit Canada I would suggest this your I give them. Severo thumbs up. Very friendly people as well. I purchased several bottles of the different syrups they produced.

Fun side excursion!

Julie_A, Aug 2023

This little tour was probably my favorite part of my trips to Niagara Falls! It's a very nice farm with even nicer employees! The tour was extremely informational with a few little treats along the way. I suggest doing the tour with the tasting - you will not be disappointed.

Great time

GEORGE_K, Aug 2023

Had a great time, Luc was and excellent guide, learned alot of interesting facts about maple syrup. Got to make syrup pops and taste the different grades of maple syrup. Would definitely get the tasting boards, with all diffent types of maple products, fruit, cheeses and maple iced tea.

Marvellous Maple Syrup Adventure!

Sophie_M, Aug 2023

Luc was informative and funny as he showed us around the process of making maple syrup. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Even my teen boys liked it! Favourite bit was definitely the tasting parts - loved the taffy on snow. What a treat! Visit to the shop is a must too. The staff are lovely. Thank you for a great morning.

Fascinating insight into Maple syrop and the farm

Alison_B, Jul 2023

The tour guide was entertaining and informative. Seeing the processing room and Maple tree forest were an amazing and interesting experience. I particularly was fascinated by the method of harvesting and processing the maple sap. The tasting board afterwards was delicious. A great thing to do all round!

Excellent day trip
