We requested English speaking but half the tour was French speaking so took twice as long to hear everything. Bus not well marked at start location. Driver seemed to have memory lapses as he repeated same story and couldn’t find his words. Only food was 4 small pieces of candy at last stop. First stop was tasting vinegars. Second and third were pear and apple wine tasting. Very sedentary bus trip. No tour of orchards or walking around. Just into shop for sales pitch and back onto bus. That said - the island itself was beautiful so another star for that

We were a little bit late getting to the tour, but they did wait for us which we appreciated. It was very easy to contact through Viator. As for the tour, it was a bit rushed when we finally got to places maybe another 15 minutes. Would’ve been great at the wine tasting. Our driver was Marten. Not much enthusiasm from Marten. Would’ve been nice to have a little more information about what we were seeing along the way. But all in all the trip was pretty good. As for tastings you got drops of stuff it wasn’t a food filled tour.

Let me say this - you’re FOOLISH if you don’t do this with your spouse. Let me repeat again you would be FOOLISH. I couldn’t believe how well this tour turned out. 4 hours of country side and tastings. Massive shout out to “ Domaine Sainte-Famille 🍷” what a romantic afternoon under white trees, slight wind and we each got 4 decently filled glasses. Yes four for me and four for her. I’ll tell you what these Québécois know how to make drinks. Wow!

Excellent tour. Celine was very knowledgeable and clear about the several food stops in a beautiful country side environment. We were also lucky that weather was perfect. I have taken this tour more than once when I visit Quebec because it is wonderful fun.

Tour guide/driver was very enthusiastic and really put in the effort. The island itself (in mid-May at least) is not that picturesque, and there didn't seem to be a lot to say about it (when the guide is pointing out the tennis courts and hardware store...well...). The tour stops were a mixed bag. This definitely is not a food tour. The vinegar maker 1st stop was a miss unfortunately. The people were lovely and explained the process well but a 2-3 drops of a few vinegars straight from an eyedropper onto a tiny spoon was disappointing. The 2d stop--Domaine St-Famille--was an A+. Wooden table/benches, 4 real tastes in glasses of their ciders/wines, great proprietor presentation. Bought a bottle there. 3rd stop (another cider/alcohol producer) was good, very tiny tastes but proprietor offered additional tastes as requested, was friendly and answered questions well. All standing up in a bit of a cluster though so felt awkward. 4th stop--candy shop--mixed feelings. Presentation was a movie, not personal. Small, but decent taste of some of the candies (would have loved to taste the meringue but not offered). A little reluctance to offer additional taste if you wanted to resample anything. The candy itself was very good so if you like candy, you'll enjoy the selection and the homemade process, and probably buy some. All that said, we had fun on the tour and don't regret doing it. Was particularly good as a rainy day activity. I just expected more of a "tasting" experience and it ended up feeling more like some quick tourist stops where you could buy things, the Domaine St-Famille being the exception (well-done).

Great trip - Celine, our multi lingual, multi talented and very lovely guide was the perfect host. The producers we visited were very interesting and generous with their samples! Would definitely recommend, if I had time I would have stayed longer on the Island itself, it’s beautiful

The Island's history was fascinating and the guide was personable, funny and accommodating. He took time to chat with everyone as we waited for the trip to start. The family owned/ran businesses on the island are very passionate about their crops and the finished products. They were welcoming and helpful. Who knew tasting vinegar would be enjoyable! Found out my spouse & I have very different ideas on cider. That little bites of nougat could be so tasty!
