| I have been on past boomerang activates, mainly just the bar tour ones, and they have been so much fun. The first vineyard we went to was Bluemont and it was just okay. The scenery was great despite the rainy weather but the wine tasting itself seemed to be very impersonal and not what I was use to at vineyards I have visited in the past. I really didn't learn to much about the wine itself or the vineyard. Maybe they thought we were a group just looking to get drunk which was not the case for me and my friends. Also at the Bluemont you were not allowed to bring your own food on the premises since they sold food there which is just plain ridiculous. The food they did have was fairly priced but did not interest me or anybody in my group. The next vineyard we went to was Veramar. The actual tasting was a little better and slightly more personal despite everybody crowding around the one tasting area they had. It would have been better if the group could have been split up, there was def enough people on staff to have two tasting stations. At Veramar we were allowed to have our own picnic and they even had a live music which set a nice scene. Overall, if you are new to the vineyard scene this would be a nice introduction but if you are a more experienced wine drinker I would not recommend you sign up for such a tour. |

| The wineries were nice (the staff were very friendly and knowledgable) as were the discounts for tasting and buying wines, but the bus was a complete disaster. People were insanely drunk to the point where glasses were dropped left and right, and half the bus had red wine spilled on them. I was hoping this would be more of a tame event, since it was to vineyards and during the day, not at night to a series of clubs. I felt a lot of the people on the bus were rude and I felt bad for the host, since he was left cleaning the broken glass from the floor. |

| Joel was a great host of the Boomerang Tour. He was engaging with everyone on the trip.
The driver of the Aug 8th trip was fantastic. Someone overindulged and he was very professional about cleaning up the situation.
Le Grange was a great winery, including the glass we received and the Sangria that was served. Beautiful property!
My only complaint is PEARMUND Winery. Our group was treated very rudely by the staff. Plus it's a very small area for tasting and the wine was not preferred by anyone. |

| A group of friends and I went for a bachelorette party and we had SUCH a great time. The scenery was beautiful, the wineries were great, and the bus trip was fun too. The whole trip was well organized and overall something I would highly recommend to a friend. |

| I wasn't expecting to actually want to dance on the way home -- but after the polite encouragement from the tour leader, helped along by the various tastings, I never sat down. :) |

| I had a great time on the wine tour. Our tour guide Joel was enthusiastic and interacted with us every step of the way. The only aspect that I did not like, is that we did not get an actual tour of the wineries. It would have been nice to see the actual inside and learn a bit about how the wines are made. The Chrysyalis winery was much more enjoyable and organized. Loudon winery although a bit more disorganized, had a very laid back feel and still enjoyable! |

| My friends and I went on the tour and we all had a great time! Our tour guide and our bus driver did an amazing job. The vineyards were beautiful. The bus was a lot of fun and the entire group had a blast. We met some fun new people on the tour as well. We were dancing and having a great time drinking wine on the way back from our amazing day! I would definitely reecommend this trip for anyone looking for a fun time. |
