What a great way to spend a day around the Asheville's area. - We had a fabulous day at 3 wineries! Rob was a knowledgeable and friendly driver. He showed us around the cute towns around Asheville and shared lots of information about the area. Highly suggest this day trip!

Good idea but needs overhaul - First part of tour of Linville Falls Winery was very good. Great location with nice patio overseeing the vineyards and tree farm. Plenty of different wines to try out. Second part of tour - visit to a cider maker and Little Switzerland was waste of time. While cider maker had a couple of interesting ciders, the location was out in the middle of the woods and doubled as a small rustic camping spot. Little Switzerland basically consists of two buildings housing a small eatery and three stores. Appears to be a popular spot for motorcyclists, but should not be a main part of a wine and dine tour. Also, there was no “dine” component of this tour. Charcuterie was available at winery, and sandwiches at the eatery in Little Switzerland. 5/5 Stars for our driver Logan, however, as he amiable, flexible and helped keep the experience interesting.

HORRIBLE - Do Not take this tour - My spouse booked this as a private tour for my bday on Friday Nov 7th. We were called a few days before and told we could either keep this itinerary but couldn't be on my bday or we could switch itineraries and share the van with another couple. We were very disappointed but Rob assured us the new itinerary had 3 vineyards with the first 2 having tasting that were more involved and the last vineyard had the most spectacular sunset views where we could buy wine and enjoy. We went ahead and switched--the $500 price stayed the same even though it was no longer private. So we were picked up and my partner is 6'5 so we had to cram into the very back of the van because the other couple had the middle row, but we went with it. The tour for over 2 hours consisted of us being told how devastated the area was with the remains from the hurricane. At one point I texted my spouse(so Rob wouldn't hear me) and asked him to please have Rob stop with the negativity and gloom because it was such a downer. Anyway we made it to the first winery and were greeted by staff telling us that they tried to call Rob to cancel our stop because they had no water. So now we continued on and he found another winery to stop at. It was fine and the views/staff were o.k. but we were told we had to either sit at the tables inside or on the patio. We could not sit at the tables that were beautiful and surrounded the vineyard like the other customers because it was too far for the staff. Now back in the van for another hour at least and the next vineyard. We were greeted by a lady behind the bar saying I hope y'all don't want a tasting because I am the only one here. So of course we had to get our included tasting which she slammed 8 glasses on our table and told us to drink them in order and look at the paper to see what we were drinking. So we were so ready for the last stop and thought yes we can end on a positive note. NO-We were greeted by a person outside who told us there was a wedding going on and for us to not walk anywhere but the parking lot because we would be in their pictures. We were allowed to buy a bottle of wine which the 4 of us did and drank it while standing on the edge of the parking lot to try and make the best of it. So we made it back to the hotel by 7:30pm and we all decided it was just not a good experience at all and felt like they wasted their anniversary and I definitely wasted my birthday. I don't know if the owner of the tour knows that any of this happened, but he should. There was no plan with these wineries and we should have hired a driver to take us from vineyard to vineyard for a lot less.
