We had a great day on this tour to the Cowichan Valley. Scott, our guide, was friendly and easygoing, and the van rides between wineries were comfortable. The timing at each stop was well organized — since we were quicker at some tastings, we ended up with more time at others, which worked out nicely.
The charcuterie was a nice touch, and the wineries themselves were beautiful. Just know that tastings in Canada are fairly small pours (about 1.5–2 oz), so if you want more, plan to buy a glass or bottle. The charcuterie was tasty, but I wouldn't consider it a replacement for a full meal, so it helps to have a meal before or after the tour.
Overall, a really nice experience and I’m glad we went. I’d recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing way to explore the valley without worrying about driving.

The tour meet in front of the Empress Hotel not across the street. This was very confusing. It did get sorted but wasn’t a good start.

We enjoyed the wine tour very much! Scott was a wonderful guide and we loved how knowledgeable he was and knew so much history about Victoria, Canada in general and the wineries. We loved the wineries that we visited. The charcuterie board at Blue Grouse was exceptional and the views magnificent! The owner at Cherry Point guided the tasting and was very knowledgeable and shared some interesting information. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather. Scott was also a very careful driver which we appreciated!

Scott took great care of us. The trip out he explained the geography around us along with interesting bits of Canadian history.
The wineries were OK but with our preference for red wines we cruised thru the tastings. Our parent couple happened to be great.
All in all it was a lovely day. Cannot emphasize enough that Scott is super competent and very caring. Give him a big raise!!!

Scott was an amazing tour guide, he gave us a complementary tour of Victoria. We visited 3 wineries and all were amazing - cherry point, Unsworth, and blue grouse

When we booked, the description stated that this was a small group tour with a max of 15 people, but there were 25 people not including the tour guide, which was disappointing since I wouldn't have selected this excursion if I knew that would be the case. We had bad luck and our bus broke down on the mountain (unclear if almost double the group size crammed on the bus played a role), resulting in an hour and a half long delay before a new bus was provided. The wine pours at especially the second winery were so small that many of us joked about there only being 2 sips worth of wine per pour. The other passengers were lovely though.

Fun visit of wonderful vineyards in Victoria. Timeline was held within a casual atmosphere. Fun and relaxing and informative.

The experience was great, the wine not so much except the first. The owner was very proud of his winery 🍷
