“Amazing day out! Left on time at all the stops. Wine tasting wasn’t really anything special but was only half an hour and good for cute pics!

“The wineries were awesome. I wish the wineries had munchies for the tastings. Lunch was gulped down with no time for shopping or sight seeing. Our guide, Gary, was very helpful. Andrew at Lakeview was an amazing host giving us a deal. Pellietary downcharged us by swapping wines. Teaching Winery...was very informative with the teaching aspect. Wines were delicious at all 3 places; and Icewine was amazing. White & Red Icewine!”
