Wineries were OK. Preferred the ones that poured tastings ne at a time, rather than handing you 5 wines and n your way

Our tour guide, Donna was great and very helpful. She made sure our experience was a good one. The wineries we went to were all great and the servers explained what the wines were and briefly went over their flavor profiles. It was a great experience and I suggest it for anyone.

Darrel was almost one of the best part of our trip. He took a very good care of us .
We didn’t learn any special things about vine we had tried. People were very nice at vine yards. But it would be nice to provide visitors with more info from tour organizers according the topic

My husband and I were fortunate to have Gary be our guide on our trip to visit four vineyards. Gary took extra time to show us some of the local sites and explain what we were seeing on our way to and between vineyards. He also gave great suggestions for other local businesses to visit as well as recommendations for restaurants to which we could walk.
Thanks so much to Gary for adding so much to the experience.

We took a tour of wineries along the northern section of Seneca Lake near Geneva, NY, on June 20. The weather couldn't have been more delightful and the four wineries we visited were just beautiful, particularly our stops at Ventosa, White Springs and Anthony Roads wineries. We also had lunch at Ventosa that was absolutely incredible.
But the entire trip was made even more memorable thanks to the efforts of our guide, Deb Noll. By the time she dropped us off, it felt like we had a new friend. Deb was perfect for us, even suggesting a stop at Spotted Duck for a flight of simply wonderful duck egg frozen custard.
Thanks so much to Crush Beer & Wine Tours, and especially Deb, for making our day in the Finger Lakes as perfect as possible.

Gary was a great host, He was very knowledgeable and had a great personality .
It was a great tour. WE would highly recommend Gary .
John_C, Aug 2022
Gary our driver picked us up as scheduled and our first tasting came with a lovely lunch and a glass of wine from our tasting. He then drove us to our other three locations on the west side of Seneca Lake. He kept track of our purchases and was always there to pick us up when we finished a tasting. He was an excellent driver and shared his knowledge of the area.
Ashley_F, Aug 2022
We had an absolute blast! Gary was amazing and super accommodating! This is the best way to do the wineries around Seneca lake!!! Highly recommend!!
Vincent_O, Jul 2022
We enjoyed the wine tour and the wineries were very good. Our tour guide, Gary, was very professional, funny, and accommodating. Would definitely recommend. Geneva is a must see in the Finger Lakes region.
Lisa_G, Dec 2021
Christy took care of us the entire day making sure we had fun and stayed on schedule. The wineries were beautiful and accommodating.
Terry_C, Oct 2021
The wineries we went to were nice and 2 of the 3 were very informative ,the last one not so much. They basically said pick a flight! they also served their tasting in shot glasses.
As far as value I was lead to believe we were going to 4-5 wineries but we went to two. A little pricey for service rendered.
Must say the guide was very personable and attentive. Shared a lot of local history!
Berdine_P, Oct 2021
Nice to experience different wineries with driving however it was on the pricey side. Driver was friendly and very knowledgeable.
Brittany_P, Sep 2021
Great little winery tour! The guide was very kind and had lots of great local suggestions. The wineries on the tour were beautiful. Some were on the sweeter side though. Lunch is served early in the tour (11am) which was a bit early for us but it was enjoyable. Overall great trip!
Kim, Jul 2021
We really enjoyed our full day wine tour. The wineries we visited had a good variety and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The other couples in our group were super nice and we enjoyed getting to know them throughout the day. Our driver Bill was a really nice guy- checking in often to see how everyone was doing. We would definitely recommend this tour!
Susan_R, Jul 2021
So much fun. Truly enjoyed the tour. Ron our tour guide was the best! Everyone was very friendly. Lunch was great!
Jessica_D, Sep 2020

Tiffany_N, Aug 2020
I’d like to thank Gary for an amazing day and trip! He was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable and nice to talk too! Next time we are requesting him to be on the tour with us as a guest! He’s the bomb.com!
Thanks again!

My adult daughters and I went on the half day wine trip. Our tour driver was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed her company. We enjoyed the wineries. We would definitely use this company again for our tour!
Stephen_G, Jul 2020
Everything was amazing. Great weather and friendly people at each winery. Even in these COVID times it was a real experience to go out and have fun at the wineries. Also, our guide Deb was a rockstar; very personable and kind.
dawn_m, Jul 2018
Edward was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed our tour of the local wineries. Way to enjoy wineries without the worry of driving.
Laureen R, Nov 2017
Bill was a wonderful guide and paved the way everywhere we went
Paula Y, Oct 2017
Well there was only four of us, but we had a great time. We had our own mini van, that was unexpected but a very pleasant surprise. Kim was wonderful, very personable and easy to talk to. She took care of us, made sure we were checked in to the wineries and could spend enough time there. We had a great trip. The girls are hoping we can get together and do it again!
LAURIE E, Jul 2017
This was an excellent tour. We took the half day and had four stops. Our tour guide, Phil, was knowledgeable without being too chatty. He went in the wineries and introduced us and made sure we knew what we were doing. I would recommend crush wine tours they were easy to communicate with when we had questions. I recommend the half day it started at 11:00 and ended about 3:00, that was enough for us.
