Awesome Afternoon Out
Andrew was absolutely awesome. Nothing was an issue and he got everyone where they needed to go. He even got in and out of the rain to ensure we got to our tastings safely. He was always on time. The others on the tour were really friendly. Thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Best Winery Tour Service
Ed our tour guide was fantastic. He gave us recommendations on which winery to visit, which wines to try and which food to eat. We all loved and enjoyed our winery tour and having the only group on that day was a bonus. It felt like a private tour. Thanks Ed for making this experience very memorable!

Wine Hopper tour
Our driver, Ed, was great. Nothing was too much trouble. We visited several vineyards of our choice and he took us to Ayrburn which was new and a great way to finish the day. Would definitely recommend and will use this service again in the future.
