Good friends and a wine tour - We couldn’t have asked for a better day of wine tasting. Our guide, Tyco, pointed out interesting things about the area (Cowichan Valley) and took us to a few beautiful wineries. If you a California wine lover, please manage your expectations. The wines that I tasted were not as full bodied but light and still delightful. If you have time during your stay in Victoria, I highly recommend this tour. Enjoy!

A beautiful tour in Cowichan Valley - Our driver, Tyco, gave an informative tour as we headed into the Cowichan Valley and took us to some great wineries. The van was comfortable and clean and Tyco was very attentive. I highly recommend this tour.

Local approved! - The guide, Tyco, was friendly and accommodating. The wineries were beautiful and welcoming, the wines diverse and intriguing, the packed, tiffin tin lunch delicious. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and yet we covered a lot of ground. A truly enjoyable day, even for a local ;)

You must do this tour! So much fun! - This is an amazing tour and we highly recommend! Tyco was our tour guide and was very pleasant. He was perfectly on time and the van was clean. He is a great conversationalist and made the trip both entertaining and educational. We started off at Unsworth Winery. Lovely location and beautiful building. Unfortunately, no one loved the wine enough to purchase. Next, Tyco took is to a lookout point and showed us the San Juan Islands and other beautiful landmarks. We then headed to pick up our lunch from a local farm to table grocery and stopped at Cowichan Creamery which is a beautiful little organic farm. We sampled cheese and cheese jams. Delicious and a few people in our party made purchases here. Next we headed to Blue Grouse Winery where they were licensed for us to eat our packed lunches. The company of our group made lunch amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Tyco once again chatted with us about the demographics of the area and the soil. Once again, the buildings were beautiful and the wine was good. We then headed out to Cobble Hill Winery, a small winery and lavender farm. This was the highlight of the entire tour. The owners, Steve and Tricia did the wine tasting with us and it was so nice to be able to ask questions about his grapes, grafting the vines, the lavender and his process. They were so pleasant and lovely that each couple on the tour bought multiple bottles. The wine was spectacular and to our tastes. Over all, this was a worthy experience that I would totally go on again. Thank you Tyco for your knowledge and expertise driving. Fantastic!

Vancover Island Cohichan Valley Wine Tour - Tyco was our Wine Tour guide and he was very knowledgible about the whole Victoria-Cowichan area. Besides his knowledge of the wine region he was also very informative about the history, geography and nuances of the area. He took us to three excellent wineries, provided a great lunch and also added a very interesting Farm Creamery with great cheese samples. Great day had by all!

Real Housewives of Carmel give this tour a thumbs up! - We had a wonderful experience traveling through the countryside and tasting wines. The Blue Grouse winery was the best. Our young waiter was super friendly and we ate lunch here as well. Our tour guide, Tyko, had picked up tiffin lunch boxes for us with delicious locally made food. Copper Hill was also nice with one of the owners serving the wine. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour!

Pick up was on time, our... - Pick up was on time, our driver/guide, Tyco, was outstanding! We had a private tour due to others not showing up. Good information on the area. Got in a few extra stops due to time availability. The White and Red wines in this area appear to be emerging and not quite there yet. The Port Wines however, were exceptional! Our guide covered any and all subjects with ease. The prepared lunch was also exceptional!
