A great way to taste wines at sunset - This was a great experience, my husband and I went on this tour with 7 other people (two couples, one group of three girls) and everyone seemed to have a great time. Our driver, Andy, was amazing and had so much knowledge of the region and wineries. Plus the sunset was amazing!

Great Experience - Our guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and informative and gave us a good amount of time at each winery. One of the wineries that is listed was closed at the time we went, but it was replaced with another great winery that we really enjoyed.

Nice driver, OK tour - Our driver Scott H was very nice. Unfortunately we were disappointed in the tour. The bus was very warm. It was May, so we can’t imagine what it would be like in the summer months. We did not go to the wineries that were originally posted. We knew there could be changes, however one wasn’t even a winery. It was a distillery. So not a wine tasting place at all. We were also told the last place would have food. We got there at 8pm and food ends at 8pm there. It just felt like the tour was not organized. They just kind of figured it out as we were on the bus.

Pick the earlier tour... - Pick the earlier tour especially in months of November do not do the night tour. It probably would have been nicer if it was day light you would see the views but it was ok also for the price we should not have had to pay for tasting the wine could have provided small shot glasses
