Take my advice and book this tour! You won’t regret it! My husband and I had the most amazing time on our wine tour with Mike. He provided top notch service, and we can’t recommend him enough. He was flexible on the start time and even picked us up from our hotel. He was extremely knowledgeable on the various wineries he took us to and offered great recommendations! Upon entering each winery you truly felt like a vip. Mike knew the staff at each location and made you feel like a star. He truly provided an experience that went above and beyond what we were expecting. The wine tour was the highlight of our trip! We’ll certainly be touring with Mike again on our next trip to TC!
