| We went on the tour with a group of 27 girls for a Girls Day Out. It was the perfect day and once again the people from the Boomerang made a great impression. |

| I thought it was well thought out. The host was very nice and was a great entertainer himself. He kept everyone together. It was a beautiful day and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. |

| We had a beautiful day at the Vineyards. The first vineyard we visited was La Grange, which was very nice and the staff treated us very well. The wine was good and the setting was relaxing, I wish we had more time at this vineyard. The second vineyard we visited was Chrysalis, which was much more crowded and had a live folk band. I didn't even participate in the tasting because it was so crowded and the staff was rude. However, we did have more time here and it was nice to sit at the picnic tables and eat lunch while listening to the band. Overall, the tour was very well organized and I would recommend it. |

| A group of us (7 to be exact) decided to celebrate our friends birthday with a surprise wine tour on Saturday and from start to finish, it was an absolute blast. The bus driver was so nice, our tour guide was so friendly, and the scenery at each vineyard was beautiful. It was a gorgeous day out and the different types of wines, paired with our picnic lunches we brought were spectacular. We each took turns buying bottles at the two wineries and then spent the remainder of the time outside, enjoying the taste, the view, and each others company. I highly recommend it and would go all the time, however it is a litle expensive considering the bus ticket is $30, the wine tasting fees were $25, and then you had to buy bottles on top of that. Thanks again for a wonderful first time experience! |

| Want a great, no stress way to visit VA's best vineyards? Look no further! The Boomerang Bus offers a fun atmosphere for those looking to leave the city behind in search of superb local wines and beautiful scenery. |

| Great company, Great views, safe driver, weak wine. Overall a great way to get away from the city and into the country. Short commute and Bommerang bus is always tons of fun. The wines were not my favorite, but the views and company more than made up for it. Very relaxing worry free way to travel with many people winery to winery. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun non-conventional outing. |

| I would definitely recommend the Virginia Vineyard Tour!! I've done it twice now and I've had a blast both times. However, I do think that $35 is a bit much for only two vineyards. I paid the same price last year for 3 vineyards. I understand that many wineries no longer allow buses, and I respect that. But I still think its a bit excessive. Overall though, it is so much fun that I obviously paid the $35 anyway! |

| We had a great time on the wine tour. Although a bit rowdy, the party bus was loads of fun! However, the hosts at Chrysalis were rude and their wine was horrible. I would definitely not recommend that anyone go to that winery. Nothing about that winery appealed to me much and would have preferred a smaller winery that had promise rather than one that thought it was good but really wasn't. |

If you want a ghetto frat bus, this is for you!

| Our bus smelled like it had been heavily partied on the night before, the seating was cramped, and it was really too loud to have a conversation other than yelling at the person next to you. Also, the tasting fees were outrageous, $10 per person, per winery, on top of what we already paid for the bus tickets. We enjoyed our time off the bus at the vineyards though, so my recommendation is, save yourself the nausea and drive! |
