Our tour operator Karen was so enthusiastic you couldn't help but have a great time. She was very knowledgable about wines, wine making and the area and able to answer almost all our questions. She was very well received at all the wineries and adjusted our day as we went along to suit our tastes and expectations. Her lunch spread... More

Left the tour up to our operator Karen. She gave us plenty of chances for input and was very flexible with plans. Our larger group of 9 made it to 5 wineries, which was plenty (poor Karen). Overall a grape day, with lots of laughs. Thanks again, Karen!

We had a super day on our wine tour with Karen. We were picked up right on time and did tastings at a nice variety of wineries, from very small boutique wineries to considerably larger ones. Karen was very knowledgeable and lots of fun and took us to wineries that we would probably not have found/chosen on our own. I... More

Karen was an awesome guide to have for our first wine tour. I would recommend her for great service and a day full of fun. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows where to go and who to speak to. We were lucky and ended up as the only two on the tour and were able to capitalize on that.

Karen is more than just a driver, she knows where to go, who to see and how to taste wine and have a good time without taking it too seriously. Knowledge/ entertainment on wheels.

After a rough start contacting different tour companies we received a response from Karen and knew her personality was a "fit" right away. Through correspondence we shared our information about likes and dislikes, forming a draft itinerary. The day of our tour was the most excellent day with a comfortable seat, stories and trivia. She accomodated our requests for favorites... More

Karen is a knowledgeable guide who can convey a great deal of information in a way that is fun and maintains interest. At the same time, we... More

We went on our first wine tour and had a really fantastic, fun day. Karen is knowledgeable and she shared so much interesting information with us not only about wine and the wineries but also about the area. We travelled in total comfort and visited some great wineries large and small. Thank you Grape Friends for the great company, giving... More

Joined a daytour to Oliver's Golden Mile with Karen and couldn't be happier. Karen is a great host, treating her guests with VIP service and taking care of every single detail. Her 7-seater limousine is super clean and most comfortable. We stopped at well-known wineries and also at hidden gems along the back roads, one would never find on their... More
