Nicole was our tour guide. She is knowledgeable and was very nice. It was a pleasure to meet her. Both wineries were wonderful and totally different vibes. Highly recommend this tour.

Great Time

Wesley_F, Nov 2021

The tour started a little late (I believe this may have been due to the half-marathon) though my group of 5 really and truly had a great time. Both wineries were great with Gray Ghost being the group favorite! We received a full lesson on wine making and tasting. Couldn’t help but to purchase and send home a case! If you happen to be there during the holiday season be sure to check out the cork display!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words and support Wesley!!! We hope you'll join us again on a winery tour when you're back in town as we offer different winery tour routes! Cheers!!!

Tour canceled without warning

Drew_W, Nov 2021

I don’t think this is a story you want to share. And hopefully it will get fixed. My tour apparently got delayed, but I was not contacted about that. I just received the message on a Thursday to the other particular place at 11 AM Saturday morning, and we did there until calling to find out what happened. Hopefully I’ll be able to reschedule and give a happier response!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

So sorry for your unfortunate experience Drew! We hope you'll give us another chance soon! Please contact us directly and we'd be happy to provide you with a discount code for your next booking!
