5.00We toured local vineyards for two days with Jeremiah. He arrived promptly each day in a very comfortable van. We enjoyed the information he provided regarding the area and vineyards as we traveled. The vineyards were diverse and the wines provided great variety with something for everyone. The views from the vineyards provided an unexpected bonus! Thanks Jeremiah!
Knowledgeable & Experienced… Perfect!

5.00Excellent tour! We visited four wineries with a focus on white wines. Jeremiah was very accommodating and offered good insights on the history of the region as well as some of the wineries we visited. He was always waiting which gave us flexibility to adjust our timing as the day progressed. Highly recommend for a comfortable and safe experience through the wine country!

5.00This is 100000000% worth it! This was such an amazing experience for us as a couple celebrating our 2nd anniversary. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised and excited to learn that we would have a private driver, which made the experience so much more personal and fun! The wineries we visited were absolutely gorgeous and each unique to their own style and vibe. Photographers: You CAN absolutely bring your cameras for the views!!! I added my edited photos from the trip as well. Our Driver, Keith, was wonderful and so personable, and he made the experience awesome. We had a blast and I would absolutely do this again, with different wineries to try! The owner was wonderful as well in communicating with us as to what our itinerary would be, and ensuring our location was updated.
Excellent service

5.00Jeremiah was absolutely the best tour guide. He picked us up at our hotel in Charlottesville and took us to three wonderful wineries that he suggested. We were visiting the area so we didn’t have a particular winery in mind. However, he would have been willing to go to a specific one if requested. We spent about 75 -90 minutes at each winery. He was a wealth of knowledge of each winery and history of the area. If you’re ever in Charlottesville this is a must do tour to take. A great stress-free way to visit wineries and not worry about driving
Highly Recommended- Excellent service/company. Thanks, Jeremiah!!!

5.00HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Like a friend driving you. Jeremiah was wonderful from the first email inquiry. We were a couple visiting Charlottesville, particularly around Monticello, for a big birthday. Visited four wineries. Jeremiah was great in advance for taking our requests and preferences and designing a wonderful itinerary. One small winery he recommended (shout out to Hona Lee!!! Family run, great wine, super friendly) turned out to be our favorite!!! Super professional, beautiful sparkling clean and cool touring vehicle; arrived early; communicative; flexible; knowledgeable; and a fantastic conversationalist. We REALLY enjoyed our trip and meeting Jeremiah. Highly recommend to any couple or small group of friends looking for a truly personable, welcoming, and professional guide/experience. 5 stars!!! Can’t wait to do again sometime.
