Excellent tour of 3 wineries with a knowledgeable guide. Comfortable vehicle & not too long of a ride.
JD was our guide. We had a lovely experience.
Our guide, Paul, made the whole excursion perfect! He was an excellent driver and was entertaining and informational during the drive. I loved hearing more about the history of the region. The wine stops were so fun and each one was a more beautiful place than the previous. My only problem was that I bought bottles of wine at each stop and had to juggle my suitcases to fly home with them! My tip is to leave some room in your luggage to hold the wines you buy.
It was absolutely worth every minute! Jerri was the absolute best! Highly recommended!
Terri was fabulous and the Tidal Wines were all delicious!
Randy was an excellent tour guide for our vineyard tour across 3 of the most popular wineries in Wolfville. He took us to vineyards that supplied us with generous, delicious samples. Their passion for their wine is clear and for good reason - the craftsmanship is obvious . The wines are exciting and it’s introduced me to a new world and region of wine. I’m so glad I booked this tour and I’d happily book again. Excellent value for money and an irreplaceable experience.
Amazing experience! Our driver Gary was exceptionally knowledgeable about the region and the wineries. Our hosts were very friendly and incredibly welcoming. Would not hesitate booking again on our next visit. Bonus discount on Canadian deliveries at flat shipping rates was unexpected but very welcome.
There were were two American women on the tour who had to be back at a certain time and did not tell the tour until the last hour of the trip which the guide cut the trip short for the other 9 people to accommodate the two woman. I found that extremely inconsiderate of everyone else’s time, we paid the same as they did. We felt really rushed because of two people with poor time management. The guide at lucketts also was rushed and the first this she said upon our arrival was about being understaffed and not having the time to give us the full experience she rushed through everything and said she would skip some stuff “we’ve probably heard before” which I found unprofessional and cheap on behalf of the vineyard. They should be staffing properly. Grand pre had a wonderful guide and so was Benjamin bridge, both were full of knowledge and very attentive which made up for lucketts lack of staff and time.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. We understand your frustration regarding the tour being shortened to accommodate other guests' scheduling needs, and we regret that this left you feeling rushed and unable to fully enjoy the experience you paid for. We are also sorry to hear that your visit to Luckett Vineyards felt rushed. While staffing challenges can occur, we understand that guests should still receive a complete and engaging experience. We will share your comments with the team for review. We appreciate your kind words about the guides at Grand Pré and Benjamin Bridge and are pleased to hear they provided a knowledgeable and enjoyable experience. Thank you again for your feedback. We value your comments and will use them to help improve future tours.
Had such a great experience ! JD our tour guide made the drive fun and informative. Such a great group/guide.
An enjoyable late morning and afternoon tour where we visited three different vineyards. It took approximatley an hour each way and each vineyard was different. Cheese pairing at the first was good fun.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the Afternoon Escape and the variety of vineyards along the way. The cheese pairing is always a guest favourite, and we’re happy to hear you had fun with it. We hope to see you on another tour soon! 🧀🍷
