Lovely wine

4.0The day started late due to a vehicle issue so we were a little rushed. There was no communication about why the bus was late which was a shame. The vineyards we visited were nice and we enjoyed some good wine. Lindsay our tour guide was great. Misha’s Vineyard was a highlight.
Wonderful experience

5.0Although we incurred an accident in the road on the way and were unable to complete a good portion of the wineries, Sara in the office did a remarkable job of finding other venues for us to go. Al was a great host and we had a great time.
Wonderful Experience!

5.0Amazing experience. We met a lot of wonderful people during the tour. But the best part, in addition to the wine, was our guide David. Absolutely stellar guy! He made the tour so much better.
Enjoyable tour

4.0This tour is well worth the time and money. Knowledgeable host, good pacing between wineries. The wineries themselves I would rate as good not fabulous. The scenery was well worth the trip. The bus was a bit old but had seatbelts.
Tasty, fun
