My family gifted a helicopter wine tour thru DeVine for the two of us...50th bday gift. We were both nervous because the sky was overcast. But it turned out to be a beautiful day.
Tiffany Cook was extremely helpful in answering all our questions before we booked our time slot.
If you’re looking to splurge, this is a wonderful and different way to experience wine tasting. We mentioned to Tiffany which wineries we’ve already done tastings at and we were able to visit two new wineries.
We were also paired up with another couple as our riding partners and they were just great! We started off getting to know each other over champagne and a breakfast platter from Red Hills Market over the safety briefing.
Then it was off to Keeler Family Estate which was all of our favorite. The wines were excellent and the owner really made our tasting special. She drove us thru part of her vineyard and had a cute table set up near the vines for our tasting. The four of us enjoyed this experience..the wines, the owner, the venue.
The second vineyard was a little more hands off. Dukes Family Vineyard, but the property was breathtaking. The owner picked us up from the landing area and took us to their tasing room which sits right on their pond. The tour company gives you your lunch which was also from Red Hills Market. There was a bottle of sparkling water, candy, two sandwiches, an olive/onion/pepperoncini salad and some toasted hazelnuts with bacon. We really enjoyed tasting and eating with our new friends at this property.
All four of agreed, wine tasting and tours are great but there’s something about these types of tours, really made the girls feel like princesses.
