Great tour, great company! - Booking the wine tour was super easy, communication and follow up was outstanding! The shuttle driver/tour guide was incredible! Super knowledgeable and passionate! She didn’t invade our space but was always withen an arms length for help or answering questions. Although we didn’t have the best experience at one of the wineries, the guide continued to help us in any way she could and made the absolute best of the situation and got the mood lively again. Highly reccomend booking with Canadian craft tour! You will not be disappointed with their dedication to customer experience and communication!

You'll Love It! - Marco was our guide and he was simply the best. His knowledge of the area and the vineyards we would be visiting was exceptional. A guide can make or break a trip - he definitely "made it" for us. We departed promptly, never felt rushed, and learned a lot! It was a great day and I highly recommend taking this tour with Canadian Craft. Next time we'll visit the breweries.

A really fun day! - Marco was a great your guide - very honest, open and knowledgeable and tolerant of our reasonable and entertaining boozy antics! We had a great group - us Scottish couple, and English couple, Canadian friends and a couple from Victoria so we spoke lots and shared experiences! What a laugh! Went for dinner and drinks afterwards! Great way to see outside of Victoria and wine helps along the way!

Annual BC/AB Girls Trip - A wonderful afternoon spent touring 3 great wineries in the Cowichan Valley. Our tour guide Paige shared some very interesting history about Victoria….red light district, opium trade…who knew!!!! She was very attentive and spent time chatting with us at the wineries. A very high energy and positive tour guide.

Good but not great - Wine tour was good but not great. The tour guide was fine, didn’t add much but drove us around. For the first hour on the bus there was a heater in the back blowing the hottest air on us which was later fixed. The first winery (Cherry point) we went to was very nice and the owner told us a lot about wine but the tasting were much too small. The second place (enrico) we went to was excellent, great portions, music and very friendly staff. The last place (unsworth) we went to was very sleepy, would not go back to the first or third again. Hopefully they start taking people to new wineries in the future.

Cowichan Valley half day tour - A great little half day tour. The first winery Blue Grouse had the best wine. The little lunch and live music at Enrico was great, a beautiful spot to stop for a quick bite. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was what we expected.
