I took my wife on this tour as a birthday surprise, expecting an actual wine tasting experience — touring the facilities, learning about the wines, and enjoying a relaxed, half day in the North Georgia mountains. That is not what this is. What we got was essentially a party bus that drives you to a couple of locations to drink wine. That's it. No tour, no education, no ambiance — just drinking and driving to the next spot. To make matters worse, the driver allowed other guests to play music at an excessively loud and rowdy volume — not exactly the atmosphere two people in their 50s were looking for on a birthday celebration. The driving itself also was faster and more aggressive than It needed to be. If you're in your 20s and looking to crank up the music, get rowdy on a bus, and cruise through the mountains with a drink in hand — you might enjoy this. But if you're looking for a genuine wine tasting experience with a tour of the facilities and an opportunity to actually learn something about wine, look elsewhere. Very disappointing, especially given the occasion.
Overall, we had a great time. It was a smooth ride there and back. The driver used his phone for us to play music. Both wineries was amazing, The canoe winery was the last one and it was a bit rushed. It seems like we got there maybe 30 mins prior to them closing. The first winery was definitely better and was more lively. There is a BBQ truck out front, the food was amazing, from the brisket, mac n cheese and baked beans!! I was looking forward to riding with the lady that are mentioned on all the reviews, she seemed to be engaging from what I read. I was a little disappointed she wasn't the driver, but out driver was cool.
It was a nice drive the drive was longer then the wine tasting but people were nice and it was a nice vibe.
I enjoyed Ms Evette (our driver) and the wine tasting at both Vineyards. The views and atmosphere was amazing. I ended up going home with 3 wines!!
This experience was amazing. Me and my bestfriend went for her birthday weekend, for the first time. Our driver was 1000% the best! Pam’s customer service was refreshing, and excellent. The winerys were very nice, loved the asthetic, the wines werent too bad and the scenery was breathtaking for sure. First time in Helen, that little German/Bavarian themed town was really cool to see, the christmas decorations and the ambiance was really something out of a lifetime movie. I really enjoyed this experience .
Annette was great! She was very friendly, thorough, and high energy. She called us the day before to give thorough instructions which was very helpful.
Ms. Annette was the best tour guide!! Great energy!!! Fun and informative with all the details! Loved the call the day before to prepare us for the tour.
The tour and bus ride were such a blast! Ms. Annette was amazing. She gave clear directions, made sure we had everything we needed, and kept the energy high with her great vibes. This experience made my 30th birthday truly unforgettable. I highly recommend the wine tour to anyone looking for a perfect mix of fun, wine, and adventure!
Show up on time and enjoy the ride! This was my 2nd tour with Annette in as many years and I will always recommend this activity! Annette communicated expectations before and during each stop. We had plenty of time to eat, drink, and explore the wineries.
Great experience. The winery was great. Very friendly.. nice afternoon away from the city! Well done!
