First and foremost, Amanda Leese was an exemplary guide who was not very knowledgeable on the history and architecture in Wilmington. We initially scheduled the “walking wine and history tour” but weather did not cooperate, however Amanda was very accommodating and able to get us on a tour the morning prior to the rain. Due to the earlier start the wine bars were not included but Amanda ensured my wife and I had the points of contact to get to Wine Knot on our own. Highly encourage anyone passing through Wilmington to take advantage of Amanda’s knowledge and passion for the history it has to offer!

I had so much fun on this wine and history stroll! Our tour guide was amazing and knew a lot about Wilmington. It was fun to visit different bars, but simultaneously learning about the history of where we were at. I love that our tour guide split it up by three different time periods. Definitely will come back again and take this tour!
