Fantastic scenery, good company and tasted a lot of wines and wonderful lunch. - We were two on the trip and collected another 7 who were really good company. Our driver and guide Kris was just amazing, her driving was very good and she pointed out lots of interesting places along the way. The wine tasting wasn’t rushed, the lunch we had was grilled chicken ceaser salad, delicious and fresh. Stopped off at an olive oil tasting and honey shop, good to taste again plenty of time. Can highly recommend this trip even if your not a wine expert go along for the whole experience you will not regret it.

Gorgeous views and beautiful wines! - Anthony, our driver and guide, was amazing!! He made sure we stayed on time, shuttled us from winery to winery (always with a friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic presence), and organized our lunches. All activities went seamlessly and I would absolutely book this excursion again.

Exceeded Expectations! - A great wine tasting experience at 3 local wineries. The weather was perfect along with the scenery and quality of wines. A delicious lunch was also provided. The highlight of the trip was the friendliness, knowledge, and accommodating driver and tour guide, Kris! From the beginning until the end of the trip, she kept the conversation flowing with our small group and provided us with insight and interesting tid bits on local knowledge and history of the areas we were visiting, and also the areas we passed through. She brought a professional and fun vibe to our experience. In addition, she went above and beyond, with a smile and sense of humor, when I realized I left my wallet behind at our last stop. She continued on dropping off other guests and then brought us back up the mountain to retrieve our forgotten items. This was after hours for both the Gainey Winery and the staff of Grapeline; however, with combined efforts from both sides, our problem was quickly and happily resolved. Being someone in the service industry I couldn’t have asked for a better attitude and professionalism with Kris. Above and beyond, exceeded our expectations.

Would use them again - Easy to make arrangements w/ timely confirmation. We were picked up & dropped off in front of our motel. We also had a fantastic lunch: steak sandwich & check/caesar salad, from whiskey & rye. I gave a 4 because it wasn’t clear as to the wine locations that we would be visiting. With that being said Carrington, ‘Carry’, was an excellent tour guide & tour companion. I even felt safe with his driving. Definitely would use them again.
