Our experience was fun and worthwhile because of the driver. Both wineryā€™s were beautifully situated on the hillside, were clean, and the people were very hospitable. Our driver Steven was very personable. He genuinely cared that we had a good time. He took extra time to make sure we all had our questions answered and suggested other places during our visit. We didnā€™t like the BBQ at Salt Lick. It was fatty, our bread seemed old, and they wouldnā€™t separate our check, so the entire bus was on the same bill. We ate BBQ for four days and this was the worst. Go to Terry Blacks for BBQ instead. Iā€™m only giving the bus and driver 5 stars NOT the stops. Salt Lick 2/ wineryā€™s 4.

Stephen tour guide was very nice and full of great info with comedic wit. BBQ was a bit disappointing.

Matt knows his information. Very polite, knowledgeable, clear, articulate and fun. He is one of the best tour guides I have ever had and I've been on a lot!
