Cowichan Valley Guided Wine Tour from Nanaimo

At the beginning of the day, our tour van wasn’t at the meeting point at the designated time. Representatives from the company were good about phoning us to let us know he was on his way. Our driver was a friendly young man. He was effective in his position and perhaps he was just letting our group converse amongst ourselves, but perhaps more of a balance that includes more direction or information about the stops would have been nice. At each of the three wineries, there was a decent amount of tastings and a nice variety of wines. However, for the price ($140+) that we laid, we all expected something better than what was offered for lunch at the Enrico winery. It was lacklustre to say the least. It seemed like premade food that had been heated up...and barely heated up at that. The food was fairly tasteless and minimal. Things felt a little rushed there as well. Granted there were a couple other larger groups there at the same time we were, but it didn’t really serve to make us want to return. The services from Canadian Craft were good, however, I would perhaps discuss menu options with the wineries and have them up to par with the rest of the experience.

Jason was great! friendly & fun!!!

I was expecting more from the tour. There was very little interaction from our tour guide. Mostly he was just a driver. 1 vineyard was very nice; 2 were small, one being so small that it seems poor use of our tour time. Lunch was coming o be a barbecue, instead a choice of sandwich or cheese/ meat platter, both which were priced at half of what we paid. Truthful- it wasn't much fun.
