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.
Cheers to a fantastic Victoria wine tour.

5.00My partner and I absolutely loved this wine tour! We stopped at three fantastic wineries, a local berry bakery, and a beautiful vista point. Our operator was incredibly friendly and personable, and his extensive knowledge of the area provided so many fun facts along the way. The wineries themselves were excellent, which definitely led to us purchasing three bottles! It was the perfect way to spend a day during our week-long Victoria trip.
Fun wine tasting
