Don’t miss this tour! - This was an outstanding evening. Bonnie, the owner of the tour company was our guide. It turned out to just be my husband and myself. I was impressed and grateful that she didn’t cancel tour with it only being the two of us. We went to four different venues. At the first we had amuse bouche and sparkling wine. A great start! The second stop was a broad selection apps which were delicious and we had added the wine package so we got to sample BC wines. The third stop was a restaurant/cheese shop where we had a raclette entree. Yummy. And more wine. Finally we went to the Empress Hotel for an amazing dessert and after dinner wine. Throughout all of this we learned about the history of Victoria and received many recommendations for activities and food. All in all it was an amazing experience.
