The term "party bus" is to be taken seriously

| The trip was fun. It did remind me however of being back in college. Everyone drank a little too much which I am sure irritated the vineyards. You take something that is supposed to be sophisticated and turn it into a frat party. |

| Apart from a few minor blips with navigation, I can't complain. I found the tour itself the right length, the winery hosts cordial and entertaining, and the Zerve attendant (can't remember his name, unfortunately) a lot of fun. We were lucky that the vineyards were relatively close to one another so as to mitigate the need for bathroom breaks (my one initial reservation), though a quick stop in the Leesburg forests didn't seem to dim the spirit of the group. If anything, we got a good show from the pee-breakers. I'd gladly recommend this company to friends, even enemies. Thanks for the lovely time... |

| Pearmund winery had the best wines, La Grange had the best indoor/outdoor setting (and thankfully we spent an hour and a half there) and very good wine. I'd encourage Boomerang to not go to Chrysalis again (disappointing wine, disappointing atmosphere.)
Pearmund's cellar tasting was fantastic/knowledgable. cute dog hanging around too, they named one of the wines after him.
La Grange had rolling hills, well placed picnic tables, a lovely indoor tasting house, and cellar, and excellent snacks to purchase.
Chrysalis felt like a factory. crowded, no cute barn, just a big corrogated metal warehouse, eh wine, and porta-potties. If there are other options, I'd say skip it when designing future tours. |

| Great wine tasting trip...probably not a trip I would take on a "romantic getaway" to the country or as a full-blown "adult", but it is verrrry fun to partake on a trip like this with friends. Enthusiastic, fun host. Would take this tour again if it featured different wineries. The first two wineries were pretty good, the last one terrible, but it definitely did not detract from the fun of the day. Two thumbs up! |

| 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! |
