The morning air along Niagara Parkway smells faintly of grass-cut lawns and fermenting grapes as your small group assembles beneath a row of espaliered vines. Saddles are adjusted, helmets clipped, and the guide checks the route: quiet country lanes, a stretch of the scenic Niagara Parkway, and three boutique wineries where tastings and cellar stories punctuate the ride.
