Lots of fun, but a little expensive

| 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! |

Great fun!

| 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! |

| My group of friends decided we would go on another wine tour on the Boomerang Bus with Nikki. We had such an awesome time last time we went, so we decided to all get together to celebrate three different birthday's. The weekend that we went was the same day Tropical Storm Hanna came into town. Initially, we thought things might be a little rained out. NOPE! It was on! Nikki came through again. The bus was packed, everyone had a good vibe, and the rain didn’t even slow us down. We made it to three different wineries that day (thanks to Suzy). By the third stop, the rain stopped, and the sun came on through.
I would highly recommend this tour rain or shine, for anyone looking for a different approach to wine tasting tours. Once again we had a blast, and met a whole bus load of people. Oh, the wine was good too! |

| I went with a large group on the wine tour for my friend's birthday and it was SO much fun....our tour guide Nikki was awesome and the vineyards we went to were beautiful. Everyone on the bus (even the ones we didn't know prior to that day) hung out together and had a great time! Whether you enjoy wine or not, this tour is defintely an experience to have :) |

| This trip was fun, but a bit different from what my friends and I expected. If you are really looking to PARTY, this is the trip for you. By party, I mean making out with the other people on the bus, throwing up on the bus, and passing out on the bus.
Personally I do not care to ride on a hot and humid old school bus with people who are throwing up! However if this is your scene, I'm sure you'll have a blast! |

Best Hurricane Party Ever!

| I attended the 9/06/08 Vineyard and Wine Tasting Tour. This is my second time taking this tour. This one was unique because there were heavy rains and wind due to a tropical storm/hurriance brewing on the East Coast. Nikki was our guide and turned what was an ugly day into the best hurricane party ever! I lived in Virginia Beach for years and have attended a few hurricane parties. This topped them all. Nikki was enthusiastic and bubbly, her positive outlook was contagious! Tracy, our driver got to each destination safely and with a smile on his face! Kudos to them both! I enjoyed the scheduled stops greatly, but enjoyed our unscheduled stop at Bluemont the most! This winery elevated 951 feet was picturesque and had a friendly staff! Live music and great wines made this stand apart from the rest. Nikki's sense of customer service and adventure, along with Tracy's capable driving skills made this a superb experience! I'll see you in November! |

| the first winery was great. cool place to taste wine, beautiful place, great folks running the tasting. LeGrange. I will be back and will order wine.
2nd winery was not good at all. stood in the sun under a canopy that was not big enough for all of us. The wine tasting man was rude- made disparaging comments about women. Wine was not anywhere near as good. Will not be back. Waited in line for 10 minutes while others butt in front. All we wanted to buy were some water. Chrysalis (spelling?) |
