5.00Tyco was our Wine Tour guide and he was very knowledgible about the whole Victoria-Cowichan area. Besides his knowledge of the wine region he was also very informative about the history, geography and nuances of the area. He took us to three excellent wineries, provided a great lunch and also added a very interesting Farm Creamery with great cheese samples. Great day had by all!
Great day with amazing people

5.00We had a wonderful experience traveling through the countryside and tasting wines. The Blue Grouse winery was the best. Our young waiter was super friendly and we ate lunch here as well. Our tour guide, Tyko, had picked up tiffin lunch boxes for us with delicious locally made food. Copper Hill was also nice with one of the owners serving the wine. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour!

5.00Very pleasant day with charming people and a very attentive guide. Nevertheless, the quality of the wine is not really up to standard... but the French are demanding when it comes to wine.
Great wine tour!

5.00Every place offered something a little different - all the wines were very good. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about Victoria/surrounding areas, which made the experience great especially being from a different province. It was a fun day get-a-way with some great views!

5.00The day was gorgeous and we had a group of 12 people who were so nice and fun to be with. Our driver was nice and friendly and gave valuable information. We enjoyed the wineries and even bought 2 bottles. The only improvement could be the lunch. I didn't eat half of it. You should provide a better lunch.
Fantastic tour guide! Great wineries to visit and a really nice day out!

5.00Tour guide was excellent! So knowledgable and a good fun. It’s small groups, the wineries were all really nice and welcoming. We tried lots of their wines and had a great lunchbox at the 2nd winery. I’d recommend going on the cowichan station creamery day as we loved this additionally stop! ☺️ it’s also a great way to see more of the isle if you don’t have a car.
