First time on a winery tour and it was amazing! Our host and driver Amanda and Alex were awesome! Very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this your for those that enjoy wine and learning about the local wineries. 10/10!!
Wow! A 10/10 first wine tour is amazing. Thank you for the recommendation. Amanda and Alex will appreciate the shoutout. Hope this is the first of many wine country adventures. Cheers!
Perfect outing! Everything went very well from beginning to the end. The host and driver were top notch, the ease of booking and getting the tickets was made very easy and there were reminders as well.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're happy to hear everything went smoothly and appreciate you choosing Grapeline. Hope to see you again soon. Cheers!
My wife and I booked the Vineyard Picnic Tour to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. We really enjoyed the 1st Wine Tour at Wilson Creek. Jerod or Jerin was an awesome wine host. The 3rd winery LORIMAR was a great end to the tour with live music and great wine tasting. Cougar Winery was somewhat disappointing. As for our driver/host, Michael Miles was exceptional. We can tell that he really enjoys what he does. The turning of the hat to signal remaining time limits was clever. We had a great time and will book another tour in the future.
Thank you for celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary with Grapeline! That's a milestone worth raising a glass to. Glad to hear Wilson Creek and Lorimar were highlights of the day, and that Michael helped make the experience even more memorable. Appreciate you sharing both the highlights and the honest feedback. Here's to many more anniversaries and hopefully another wine tour in the near future. Cheers!
First of all, I have to say that we had a fantastic time on this tour. But it wasn't quite what we expected for a 'wine tasting' experience - we thought we'd get much more information about the grapes, wines, methods of producing them, etc - but this was basically a party-bus taxi service between 3 wineries, where we were encouraged to get as much value (i.e. get as drunk as we could) from the wines on offer at each place. At one winery we got to try an unusual wine (matured in stone amphoras) but otherwise it was a case of queueing at the bar to get as many different wines as we could in the time available (1-hour plus at each location). Our host Liz was hugely enthusiastic ("There's going to be CHARCUTERIE, y'all!") and gave us a reasonable amount of information about the wineries around Temecula - she was a fantastic accompaniment to our trip, and we got to know some of our fellow tasters which was great (and the charcuterie selection WAS excellent and plentiful), but this certainly wouldn't suit someone who really wanted to find out much about the wines and their production. But if you want an enjoyable afternoon, and to drink lots, this is definitely a great time!
Thank you so much for the 5-star rating and for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your guide, and we truly appreciate you sharing your perspective on the experience as a whole. Hearing what stood out — and what didn’t — helps us continue refining how we deliver each tour. Your comments are valued and will be taken into account as we keep elevating the experience. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and show you the memorable wine tour we’re known for. Cheers!
Our DD Dave and our tour guide Liz were excellent hosts. We have taken a lot of tours around the world and this was one we will always remember. We have never had a tour guide that had so much enthusiasm for the guests to have fun Visited 3 wineries with tastings plus snacks So if you are with a group and we had a number on the tour you can expect a great experience. Much like a “Pub Crawl” but at wineries If you are more into wine tasting this tour is not for you If you have a party group ask for Liz
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad Dave and Liz made your tour such a memorable experience. Whether it's a wine country "pub crawl" or just a fun-filled adventure, we love bringing great groups together. Hope to see you again for another amazing time. Cheers!
Liz was awesome, and Carlos too! What a great day, very well organized! The wineries were lovely! Thank you for a wonderful day!!
We're so glad you had a fantastic time with Liz and Carlos, and that the day was well-organized. We hope to welcome you back for another great adventure soon!
WE HAD A BLAST!!! Our Host Amanda was out of this world and portrayed a love for what she does and made us feel welcomed and valued. The three chosen wineries along with the set up was perfect. Not too long and not too short. Amazing!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear you had a blast on your tour! Amanda truly is amazing, and we're happy to know she made you feel welcomed and valued. It's great to hear the wineries and the timing were just right for you. We hope to see you again for another fantastic experience.
Carlos and Heidi were great guides. We didn’t have any trouble finding them to depart from wineries. Great knowledge and tons of fun.
