| We had a great time on the tour bus. The tour guide along with the group were tons of fun. However, the wine at most of the vineyards was not that good. The last one was extremely disappointing. While I would definitely take the tour again, I would have to know what vineyards they were visiting beforehand. |

Too crowded and poor quality of tasting

| I thought it was really inappropriate that the tour bus was super crowded. Some people didn't even have a seat and we were all packed in like sardines. For $34, I expect to be able to sit comfortably.
The wineries that we went to seemed very annoyed to be hosting us. I thought boomerang would have checked in with the winery staff beforehand to make sure that they were okay with big groups. Two out of three wineries' staff made comments to me about "not giving an explanation of the wines since no one could hear". Also, the last winery did the tasting extremely quickly and the hostess rolled her eyes the whole time..not to mention, the wines at that winery tasted like coolaid..crap.
I would not recommend this tour to anyone. It was a total waste of time and money. |

| This was a great time! I highly recommend this trip whether you are with someone special, a group of friends or just looking to meet others. A great way to spend this day without worrying about the drive. |

| It was really wonderful! The bus was so much fun - our guide was fantastic and the vineyards were beautiful. We will definitely be back again!
One note - we were a little bit rushed between stops. After a couple glasses of wine, we would have loved to have had more time to wander around the vineyards and hang out for a bit! |

| The Saturday wine tasting tour was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip as a whole. One vineyard that we visited I would not recommend for the future--Swedenburg. The people at the Vineyard rushed us through the tasting and were made rude comments to us. The other two vineyards we visited were great. Our tour guide and bus driver made the trip--they both had a great sense of humor and were very entertaining. |

| The Logistics were a little wishy-washy --- we arrived back at the mtg place later than expected. |

The tour provided a fabulously enjoyable day out!

| Seven of my girlfriends and I went on the wine tour and had an absolute blast. The vineyards were very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. The bus was great fun and our tour guide and bus driver excellent. This is a great event to consider if you have any interest in wine (little or a lot) and appreciate getting out of the city on occassion. A great deal considering it's a chauffeured service. I would highly recommend it! |

| This a great chance to those new to the area, and locals - like me - to get out and tour wineries. You dont have to worry about directions and or parking. The bus was fun and there were some very lively conversations. All in all - a great way to send a saturday afternoon. |

| The boomerang bus is great and Vince (our bus leader) was a lot of fun. The first winery (Old Heritage) did not have very good wines, but was overall a fun experience. The second winery (Chrysallis) was a lot of fun. The wine, the people presenting the tastings and the general atmosphere was great. The third winery was a bit stuffy and snobby. I'd recommend they be taken off the visiting list (sorry, can't remember their name). |
