Had a wonderful day with Martin. Tried several wines over a few vineyards. Martin was a terrific guide and I highly recommend his company .
Thank you so much it was a pleasure spending the day with you .. I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
First. The driver did her job, no issues with their driving. Okay, our recent "wine tour" titles "Elijay Three Vineyards Private Wine Tasting Tour from Atlanta" was unfortunately a significant disappointment, especially given the cost exceeding $500 for two people on a private tour. Having experienced many wine tours, both in this region and elsewhere, we had certain expectations that were not met by this company. Instead of the immersive tour experience typically offered by specialized companies, we essentially received an overpriced ride service. Our driver, while pleasant, clearly lacked the local knowledge of the area and vineyards that one would expect from a tour guide. There were no pre-arranged visits, and the crucial element of guided information about each winery, their winemaking process, or the backstory of the wines we tasted was completely absent. The service amounted to being driven to wineries, exiting the vehicle, and having our tastings paid for with the company's card. Furthermore, the "tour" was conducted in a personal car rather than a more suitable vehicle, and the advertised amenities were notably missing. While we understand this was an issue with the company's service model and not the driver's performance, we will definitively not be using this company again for future wine tours.
Thank you for your detailed feedback — I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. I’d like to respectfully clarify a few points that may help explain the structure of the experience you booked. This tour is a private wine tasting tour with private pickup, not a private winemaking or wine production tour. Our goal is to provide comfortable, private transportation from Atlanta to the North Georgia wineries, where guests can enjoy pre-arranged wine tastings at select vineyards. The tasting fees are covered, and our drivers ensure timely arrivals, but the on-site experiences are hosted by the winery staff, not by the driver, and the tour does not include behind-the-scenes or production-focused elements unless specifically offered by the vineyard. We understand that expectations can vary, especially for guests who have participated in more immersive, guide-led wine tours in other regions. We’ll certainly review how we can better communicate the tour structure in our descriptions to help set clearer expectations. Regarding the vehicle, we match transportation to the size of the group. For two guests, a personal vehicle is typically used to provide a more flexible and private experience. That said, I understand how this may have felt less “tour-like,” and we’ll take your feedback seriously when reviewing how we can enhance comfort and ambiance. Again, thank you for your honest review. I regret that we fell short of your expectations and appreciate your input as we continue to improve.
