The Fraser Valley Winery Tour

Wine was fabulous. Itinerary was not as advertised….. guide said Viator keeps changing back after he corrects it. The charcuterie was in a plastic bag that he assembled. No meat. He had to stop with us at a market to get fruit before we left. Cheese, crackers, nuts, cracker sticks, fruit and a bubble water. There were just the 2 of us on the tour with the guide. He picked good wineries and was on time. Enjoyed the winery experiences. All in all a pretty good day. Just a bit unorthodox compared to all our other Viator experiences.

After another tour operator cancelled our wine tour last minute, I booked this one. What a blessing!! Michael called me to let me know he would pick us up in his Mercedes Sprinter (he picks up at any downtown Vancouver hotel btw) and we were his only guests so we would have the VIP experience. And that it was! We visited three very unique wineries with incredible wines. We purchased bottles at each location and I even signed up for a delivery service from one. Michael was super kind and so knowledgeable about the area we travelled. He truly made the experience so memorable for my daughter and I. He even stopped in Langley on the way back and let us wander around the cute little town for half an hour. If you are weighing your options, this is the tour to select. You will not be disappointed.

Michael our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable of the whole area. He also had a nice little lunch prepared for us. I would recommend this wine tour.

The experience was excellent, enjoyable and very informative. We were picked up dead on time,at our hotel. This pick up was gratifying, not having to worry about finding your way about in a strange city.The drive out to the wineries was an interesting and informative experience .as we learned about the sites we passed and the history of Vancouver. The three wineries were all beautiful and individual and you could read about the wines from a menu and choose your selections. You were then told about the history and flavour points of the wines you had chosen. Many of them award winning! You do not get a full glass mind you, as it is a tasting., not a pub crawl. It is enough though. You can choose sparkling options too. You pay for your selections at the end. These came to approx 20 Canadian dollars, depending of course on your choices. The prices are clear. The last visit to the mead winery was my personal favourite, where the wines were mead wines. We had a delicious selection of cheeses, biscuits , crackers, nuts and cake. Supplied by our courier.Oneof the meads was paired with a beautiful chocolate cheese and another with chocolate. I wanted to buy a bottle of the pumpkin mead wine and the fig. However, we were travelling on to Japan and my case was heavy enough. Also, the cruise lines charge 30 dollars corkage on wine brought aboard!! The vehicle was comfy and afforded a good view. The courier was very knowledgeable and interesting. A very pleasant person with a great sense of humour and a fascinating eclectic background . A man not afraid of hard work, or grasping what life holds.. A real artisan . A nice man.Safety was a priority, with a strong wooden step to alight the bus. One he had made himself The day was one I will always remember with affection.. Well done Morwen

Michael was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and the bus was very comfortable to ride in. Would have given the tour 5 stars, but we only visited 3 out of the 5 wineries on the itinerary due to midweek closures.

Wonderful way to visit local wineries and hear about local history. Good variety of tastings and knowledge of wine making.

The tour was good. The driver Mike picked us up and took us to three wineries. He pointed out points of interests and told us many historical stories about the area. A bonus was the light lunch which was provided.

Great experience! All of the recommendations were in the description. Michael was phenomenal! I would do it again!

I went to four wineries. It was nice to testaine a variety of wines. Lunch was not enough because it was a snack. I could have paid for it, so maybe I could have had lunch.

Michael kept us entertained on the tour with facts about the area, anecdotes and jokes. The selected wineries were friendly and welcoming with a good selection of local, near local wines and mead. Also appreciated the collection and drop off to the front door of our accommodation.
