We were so thrilled to join in on this and looking up wineries ahead of time we couldn’t wait! We were told lunch wasn’t included which was fine. Then on the way to our first destination we were all updated that we would receive lunch but have to go to a different second destination. The first winery we visited was so lovely with gorgeous views and delicious wine. The second winery looked as if we were in a relatives backyard having a bbq. Our lunch was delivered here and I personally would have preferred paying for my own lunch and having better options and with better scenery. When texting Brittany with Viator, she said since some guests were late, we missed the second winery reservation and they could not accommodate. This made no sense as our pick up tome was 10:40 and we pulled out of the hotel at 10:50. That’s a 10 minute spread that should not have affected the entire day. Viator should give a window of room for error if something like this can happen. Very disappointing that we missed out on a better venue for our second stop.

Enjoyable and relaxing day. They went out of their way to pick us up which was so much easier for us. Combined 2 tours into one (cupcake people were with us) which was a little odd but still worked. There wasn’t as much flexibility in the plan as is implied in the description.
