Stephanie is fantastic, knowledgable and fun! From beginning to end we felt safe, had fun and learned alot of the wine in Nova Scotia. Worth every penny!
We had a fabulous day with Wine and Vine. Stephanie is an amazing host and guide. She’s so knowledgeable and interesting and is lovely to spend the day with. She took us to Benjamin Bridge for their Bubbles and Bites tasting and then to Grand Pre for more great wine. From the moment we were picked up until drop off, we were treated to excellent hospitality and a first class tour. I highly recommend Wine and Vine Tours.
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself.
We had a great time. Stephanie was there to meet us right on time. We went to three wineries. We had a great lunch at the second winery. The tastings were very good. We didn’t kill rushed at all. Everything was very nice.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Our wine and Lobster experience was amazing from beginning to end! Stephanie was wonderful! Her attention to detail was greatly appreciated as she accommodated not only our various dietary restrictions in the drinks and snacks she provided, but also in our wine preferences and the places we wanted to see. The whole thing was impeccably organized and scheduled. Stephanie was very knowledgeable of the wine industry and the region and gracefully answered our many many questions. Definitely the highlight of our visitor's trip!
I'm so glad you had such a great experience!
Our Tour Guide Stephanie did a great job! She was very informative about the history of the entire region, as well as being an expert on the wines that we sampled. The entire family had a wonderful experience.
Hi Eddie, it was my pleasure showing you and your family around!
Stephanie, the owner of Wine and Vine was an excellent tour guide. The vehicle was comfortable and she was very knowledgeable regarding the wine industry in general and the Nova Scotia wine industry in particular. She had a good relationship with the wineries and provided added value comments. She greeted us with coffee and snacks and made the experience memerable.
Hi Michael! Thanks so much, you're too kind!
Stephanie provided a super personal experience for us on this private tour. She picked us up right on time with hot coffee. She talked a lot about the area as we drove about 45 minutes to the wineries. Tastings were generous, lunch (on our own) was delicious. She chose the wineries based on our preferences and we really appreciated it. We would definitely recommend this tour
Hi Kay, thank you so much for the review! I'm so happy everything was enjoyable!
This was the ultimate wine experience- Stephanie asks about preferences prior to meeting but then changed things on the fly as she got to know us. It was a trip truly tailored to our wants.
Hi Susannah! I'm so glad you enjoyed the wine selections I made for you!
