| My friends and I had a great time on the Boomerang bus for the vineyard and wine tour! The wine tastings were great, there were good deals to purchase wine, we met some great people, and of course we had a blast partying on the bus! And its always good to have a safe ride around. I highly recommend the wine tour with Boomerang! |

| What a GREAT day! Couldn't have been better. Each winery had a great spread ready for us, and we had some nice individualized attention from the wine makers. I was actually surprised at the quality of wine - especially La Grange. We ended up buying a few bottles, and had nice leisurely lunch there where we able to enjoy some of our purchases. And the bus ride was just a blast - great people, great music, Nikki couldn't have planned a better day. She's a GREAT hostess. I will absolutely make this trip again in the spring, and this time I will bring more friends! Thanks!! |

| my friends and i took the party bus Vineyard tour on saturday, november 17th - we visited unicorn winery (in amissville), la grange (in haymarket), and chrysalis vineyards (in middleburg). i thought the choice of vineyards was well selected, and gave us a nice tour of the countryside and the chance to sample good wines.
overall it was a great trip, and our host was very nice and organized. the only downside of the tour is that i wouldn't recommend it if you wanty to keep to a strict schedule. we got in late back to DC, but it was well worth it in our case because we had the opportunity to spend extra time at the vineyards.
thanks! |

| The bus trip to the vineyards was a lot of fun! Nikki was such a wonderful host and was certain everyone was having a good time! It was a great opportunity to travel to the vineyards with a designated driver. I would definitely recommend this to other people. The only thing I would like to see is different vineyards on future bus trips! |

| Great trip out to three vineyards! Nikki was an awesome tour guide, and everybody got along on the bus. If I did it again during this time of the year, I'd do it before we set the clocks back, just so it was light out a little later. Also, we were a little rushed at Loudoun Valley Vineyard (but that was okay, since it was by far the worst of the three we visited). Veramar and Hillsborough were great though, and I'd recommend them to anyone. |

| 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. |

| 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! |
