Friends and family organizers planning a bachelorette party, milestone birthday, or group celebration in Niagara-on-the-Lake who want a relaxed, hosted wine experience for eight or more people.
Bachelorette and Group Celebrations at Our NOTL Winery
When you are gathering your favourite people for something worth toasting, a winery group outing in Niagara gives you the kind of afternoon everyone remembers. At The Hare Wine Co., a family winery on Niagara Stone Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake, we love hosting bachelorettes, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and the spur-of-the-moment celebrations that turn a regular weekend into a story. You bring the crew. We will pour the wine, set out the food, and make sure your group feels looked after from the first glass to the last.
Here is everything you need to plan a relaxed, memorable celebration with us.
Group tastings for eight or more
For larger groups of eight or more, we offer a hosted tasting led by an educated member of our team. Your group settles in for a flight of four wines, either our table wines or our Icewines, while your host walks you through what is in each glass and answers every question your group can think of. It is the part of the day where everyone slows down, compares notes, and figures out which bottle is coming home with them.
Because these tastings are hosted and seating is arranged in advance, we ask that you book ahead so we can have everything ready for your group. Our standard table seats six, and we can often accommodate larger parties by special request based on availability. The earlier you reach out, the easier it is for us to hold the right space for your celebration.

Bachelorette and birthday outings
A bachelorette weekend in wine country has a certain magic, and a winery group outing in Niagara fits right into the itinerary. Picture the bride and her friends around a sunny table, glasses in hand, swapping stories between sips. It is relaxed, it is photogenic, and it does not require anyone to overthink the plan.
Birthdays land just as well. Whether you are marking a milestone or simply rounding everyone up because it has been too long, a hosted flight gives your group a shared focus and an easy pace. There is no rush and no script. Just good wine, good company, and a host who keeps things moving so you can stay in the moment.
If your celebration is a bit more formal, we also host private events such as showers, birthdays, and anniversaries. For something with a more dedicated feel, take a look at how we handle private gatherings and events and let us know what you have in mind.
Food and patio
No celebration runs on wine alone, so we keep the food easy and the patio welcoming. Out on the patio you can order wine by the glass, share a charcuterie board, and dig into one of our four wood-fired pizzas. It is the kind of casual spread that suits a long afternoon with friends, with plenty to pass around the table.
The patio is also a favourite for groups who want a more laid-back setting. And because we are a place that believes the whole family should feel welcome, dogs are welcome on the patio too. So if someone in your group has a four-legged plus-one, they are part of the celebration.

Getting there safely
Wine country is best enjoyed when no one in your group has to worry about the drive. We do not offer transportation or tours, so we recommend arranging your own ride to and from the winery. Drop-off and pickup work perfectly, whether that is a designated driver, a private shuttle, a car service, or a tour company that handles the logistics for you.
You will find us at 769 Niagara Stone Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Sort out transportation when you book the rest of your plans, and your whole group can relax and enjoy the afternoon.
How to book
Booking your celebration is simple. Groups of six or more should email us at reservations@theharewineco.com so we can confirm seating and walk through what your group has in mind. For larger group tastings of eight or more, the same applies. Reach out ahead of time and we will arrange a hosted flight for your party.
Reservations are recommended for celebrations of every size, and the sooner you get in touch, the more flexibility we have to make your visit special. You can also start a reservation here and our team will follow up with you.
