We had our wine tour with Rob and he was awesome. He is very friendly and knowledgeable of the area/wineries. I liked that the gave us a 10-minute heads-up before it was time to go, and it was never too pushy or felt like we were being rushed! I would definitely recommend to anyone!

I have a group of friends who graduated from college 45 years ago. This year we decided to visit Travers City. I found the 5 hour wine tour on Viator and booked it. Scott R picked us up in a bus that was perfect. It was comfortable and air conditioned. We traveled to 4 different wineries, and Scott told us about each one. He escorted us into the wineries and made sure we were comfortable. At the last winery he suggested we order appetizers and had time to sit down and chat with us. He is a great tour guide, and it was a fun day that I would recommend to any couples or groups looking for something to do for the day. I was surprised at how large the vineyards were and how beautiful it is in that area. It was impressive.

Scott R was 10/10. We had an amazing time and the information he provided was great. He got to know each group and treated all of us with the same respect. I would HIGHLY recommend his tour. Scott A is lower tier- don’t take his tour.

We liked visiting the vineyards. Our favorite was Chateau Chantal. It was a great way to spend 5 hours
Alan_S, Jul 2026
Felt like tour guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to be around. I felt like the bus would be suited to have a intercom so the guide does not have to yell over the motor.

Designated Darren was absolutely the best tour guide we have had during our years coming over for wine tours in old mission peninsula!!!!!!
Susan_P, Jul 2026
We learned about the different wines and which grow better in the Traverse city climate. We r actually red wine drinkers but found quite a few whites that we enjoyed. We enjoyed this tour. Our driver was “Mr. Frizzle” and he was very friendly and knowledgeable

Our tour guide, Designated Darron, was amazing. He took us to 4 amazing wineries, had great suggestions of what to order, and knew the area very well. It was great having a true local share his experiences and hidden gems on the peninsula and around the area. The bus was fun and he took song requests!
