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!

This has been an awesome experience. Scott, our driver, was friendly and accommodating and was great following up to ensure we were having a great time. Can’t recommend this enough!

We had a great time! Our driver Todd was AMAZING!!! There was only 12 of us on the bus, it was nice having such a small group. The wineries weren't busy at all.
Krissy_S, Nov 2025
This was a really great experience with my friends. The back of the bus was a little too bumpy but we just moved to the front. Andy was a great tour guide.

Prepare to drink!! We wnt to dome great wineries and learned a lot about the process. Bring a camera. Breathtaking views
DianeKossak, Oct 2025
Pleasantly surprised with the group bus! Todd wasn’t just our driver- he was our host, DJ, and part-time hype man. You can literally eat, drink, and dance your way between wineries without spilling a drop (well, mostly). The vibes were high, the playlist was perfect, and Todd made sure no glass went empty.
If you’re thinking about it… stop thinking and just hop on the Magic Bus. Highly recommend Todd and his rolling party on wheels!

Our driver Scott (the retired teacher) was super fun and really made the experience that much better!!
Meera_K, Oct 2025
It was a barrel of fun - or maybe a cask! We stopped at four wineries and all were well worth a visit.
Sarah_S, Oct 2025
Our driver, Scotty, was amazing! He went out of his way to ensure we had a fantastic time! He said that people on the bus start out as strangers but often leave with new friends, which was true for our group! 10 out of 10 recommended!!
Alexandra_D, Oct 2025
Amazing driver and great bus ride, the way to go to see the wineries for sure! Was definitely worth the price
Amanda_Z, Oct 2025
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time touring the wineries! Scott R was our driver and we both thought he was incredible! He sat down and helped us design an itinerary for the next day which we so appreciated and all his recommendations were spot on! He also went above and beyond at the wineries and provided next level dad jokes.
