Jonathan was a wonderful host. Great way to spend the day. All of the hosts at the Vineyards and Cider house were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

We, a senior couple (72 & 69) really enjoyed this tour. We were picked by the tour bus driven by Jonathan at the Hilton and drove to the 3 stops. The roads were typical bumpy, and the leaves were changing colour these were sometimes narrow country roads. Jonathan provided information about our surroundings along the way. The weather was cool, but pleasant. The first stop was a winery operated by Scott if memory serves; it's in a nice settings with rows of vines easy to see and they still had loads of grapes hanging. We sat down in a beautifully decorated serving area and had the loaded charcuterie plate with local cheeses, nuts, sausage slices etc... all while sampling 4 wines which my wife and enjoyed enough to buy 5 bottles. The information provided by Scott about the wines and history was excellent and made for a very enjoyable stop. The next stop was a Cidrerie (cider making) place and this was a quaint spot with a heavenly apple pie odor awaiting us. Here we were offered 2 cider in frosted little mugs and both were quite good! Then we got a tour of the operation and the history of the family owned business and this too was very informative and colorfully narrated by Greg. Then we got a piece of apple pie with ice cream! Yes it was very good! Our 3rd stop was another Winery also in a picturesque setting. We walked uphill to the vines and got a really good idea of the operation with Martin providing details. As it was cool, we went back inside and Martin provided a 'lesson' which we all thoroughly enjoyed his teaching experience shining through: we learnt about sugar content in wine, about process differences to make white, red, rosé and range wines. We bought a couple more bottles here too. It made for a great day, a very enjoyable day which I would highly recommend.

It was a great day that went too fast! The three stops were all unique but excellent. Could have spent longer in every location, and the scenery along the way was stunning. Very informative guides and great produce, if we hadn't been flying would have bought a lot more! Will definitely use this tour operator again. Bus was clean, and had great snacks. See you next time!

Great tour! Beautiful homes and wineries owned by local people. A lovely getaway from the city and very fun activity. The company was very organized and friendly.

What a high energy fun day !! The ride along highway 148 was stunningly beautiful. It's hard to decide what the best part of the day was ~ The wine and the food were delicious. I really enjoyed the history, the stories and the art exhibit as well. I loved the opportunity to take photos and meet fun people. It was a well planned out day and the tour guide was amazing ! My parting thought was... ok when is the next trip?
