If you like wine, well worth it! - It started out a bit rocky but well worth it. There was some serious traffic issues and our guide was about 50 minutes late to pick us up. I did receive text informing me of the delay. Once the guide, Jeff (or maybe Geof) arrived, he was incredibly fun and informative. We went to 3 different winery and had a great time. I reccomend and would do again!

Enjoying wine on Ile d'Orleans - An amazing way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Quebec.
We were a little concerned when we arrived for the tour as the information said the were maximum of 13 guests but there were 24 of us ready to venture for the afternoon. In saying this though, all the wineries we visited were well prepared to accommodate the number and did not feel crowded.
Our wonderful guide Jean Francios explained the itinerary at the start and what to expect during the afternoon. He then sat down with us at one of the wineries were we had a conversation about Quebec and Australia.
The three wineries we visited all offered something different. One held the tastings on the deck overlooking the vines, the second was set amongst an apple orchard and the third overlooking the vines and the Lawrence River.
As I said, it was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Quebec.

Tour with family. - First vineyard was horrible. Wine tasted awful, we couldn’t understand what the gal was saying. This one should be skipped for sure
The other two were fine. Wine was acceptable and the venues were lovely
Jean Frances was a good tour guide and quite funny at times.

Beautiful vineyards, wines just ok - Our tour guide, Celine, was wonderful! We had tastings at 3 vineyards on the island. The fall colors were amazing and all the vineyards were lovely. We didn't really care for the wine but, we understand they grow different grapes in Quebec. Had a nice time with fellow tourists.

A word of warning. - Choose carefully when you go. We did the tour in late October, and were told on the bus that because one of the three wineries closes early when it's late in the year, we "can't stay forever," which really meant we were going to be rushed. We had exactly 30 minutes at the first winery (for a group of about 30 people!) and getting food was simply not an option. The second winery was a much better experience-- we were given a little time to walk around and enjoy the grounds. The third winery also felt rushed, but it was getting so cold that it felt like most people were kind of done. This tour is probably wonderful on a warm sunny day, at high season. But to be charged full price for what felt like less than the full experience left us feeling irritated.

Disappointing and Not as Described - Disappointing and Not as Described
We booked the Wine Tasting on Île d'Orléans tour from Québec City on Friday with high expectations based on the description. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short.
The listing clearly stated it was a small-group tour capped at 13 travelers, but our group had 26 people. This completely changed the dynamic and made the experience feel impersonal and rushed.
The description also promised a behind-the-scenes tour with insider facts about the winemaking process. In reality, we were given the same tastings as any walk-in visitor—in fact, worse, since our large group size made it crowded and less personal. Two of the wineries were clearly unprepared for such a big group.
The tour guide seemed unorganized and often unsure of what was happening. When we asked how much time we had at a stop, the answer was simply “Whenever,” leaving us with no idea whether we could shop, explore, or order food. The entire day felt confusing and unstructured.
Considering the higher price, we expected a VIP, curated experience. Instead, it felt like an oversized bus tour with little value added. Honestly, we would have had a more enjoyable (and affordable) day simply taking an Uber between wineries on our own.
Very disappointing overall—not worth the money and definitely not what was advertised.

Be Careful - Check Excursion Times Carefully - Cruising travelers need to be very careful that the return time for your trip gives you plenty of time to get back to your cruise ship. Unlike the excursions booked on the ship, there are no guarantees that you'll get back to the ship. We had planned a great excursion, and believed the duration was 3 hours, but after getting on the bus, the driver told us it would be 4 hours... we had to get off, or risk missing the ship departure. Never got to enjoy the excursion... still hoping for a refund.
