Our driver/ guide was informative and friendly. I enjoyed learning about the different wines and of course the beautiful scenery.

We toured with Deb in August 2022. Pickup was smooth, she was attentive but not overbearing and a great conversation partner. The wineries we were brought to were varied, beautiful, and we were seen to almost right away at each stop. Would definitely recommend.

My wife and I took the wine tour for our anniversary. It was our first trip to the Finger Lakes and we are glad that we took the wine tour. Our tour guide was Donna and she had a great personality and a lot of knowledge about the area and the wineries. We really enjoyed the time that we spent with her that day. She knew a lot of local knowledge and hidden spots in the area. We lucked out by going on a weekday because the wineries were not busy and we got a lot of personal attention at the tastings and the service was excellent. Went to Wagner, Fulkerson, Lakewood, and Barnstormer. Great views and great wine. Everyone was really friendly and did a good job of explaining the history of the area and how they make their wines. Highly recommend the cheese tray and salsa at Barnstormer. We really enjoyed the tour and would do it again when we come back to the area.
