| 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). |

| Loved the first two wineries and the host (Vince). Lots of fun. However, my group HATED the third winery. The Swendenberg winery had subpar wine and the staff was very rude and rushed of our group. I would not recommend going back to this winery (my group of 15 was of similar mindset). Please change the 3rd winery. Otherwise we had a lot of fun and we would do it again, pending the change of the Swedenberg winery.
Thanks again! |

| It was lots of fun. I especially liked the idea of someone else driving. Didn't have to worry about the headache of driving in traffic, and best of all I was able to taste as much wine as I liked. |

| We had a great time on your tour. Our bus host (Niki?) was great. The first and third vineyards were very welcoming and had some great wine to choose from. The second vineyard, Swedens(?) was not particularly impressive and I would not recommend visting again. They didn't seem particularly happy to see us. All in all I would recommend this tour. |
