We had a wonderful experience going on a wine tasting tour for a bachelorette party. We stopped at three locations: Crane's Winery, Michigan Wine Company, and Cogdal Vineyards. All locations are worth a visit. Coastal Tours was wonderful with putting together a detailed, organized itinerary. Kathy, our driver, did a great job of keeping us organized and took awesome pictures that she later sent to our group. Our only complaint was that one of the stops took quite a while for service, but part of that was on us for a slightly delayed loading of the bus. Kathy worked with us to get back on schedule after that delay, and Coastal Tours was also receptive to our feedback of the delayed service at that location. A few tips after our experience for anyone considering going on a tour with Coastal Tours: 1) Be ready to go early! You don't want to get behind at the start of the tour. Advise everyone in your group to show up a few minutes early; 2) If you plan to eat on the tour, perhaps consider getting food to go or ordering pizza to be delivered at a site. Kathy had suggestions for potential pizza delivery. You can also bring snacks with you; Coastal Tours lets you eat on the bus!; 3) Be sure to double-check with Coastal Tours for which locations will require a single payment for your group and plan ahead on how to manage that. Overall, we had a lot of fun! I would recommend Coastal Tours for any group wine tasting.

We had a wonderful time on our Coastal Wine Tour! Our driver, Frosty, has to be the BEST in the game; He made the tour a lot of fun and was very accommodating! We booked this tour for a bachelorette party, Toby was beyond helpful in deciding which wineries to visit, he was very thorough with the itinerary to make sure we were able to spend adequate time at each location, and he did all of the necessary booking at each stop so that all us ladies had to do was show up to drink. One of our stops along the way was Crane's winery; Frosty recommended the pie flight and this was absolutely to DIE FOR. 10/10 recommend the pie flight at this stop, You will absolutely live a life of regret if you do not give it a taste. All in all, we had a blast; Thank you Coastal Tours!

Coastal Tours and Kim were more than accommodating for a bachelorette party winery tour. Kim was so helpful and knowledgeable about each winery we visited and she made sure we were on time for each stop. Kim went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our day fun and memorable. You can hook up to the Aux and bump to your favorite tunes and Kim even brings water to make sure everyone is staying hydrated which is needed after so many glasses of wine. I highly recommended booking Coastal Tours and KIM!!!!!

Coastal Tours was such a fun and unique experience for a bachelorette party. Kim was super helpful in planning which locations so visit and we very communicative. She stayed on top of local covid restrictions and policies of the individual establishments. When one location change their group limits, she gave great recommendations and helped me to choose a new location. Our driver Toby was amazing and was super fun! He checked in on our orders and made sure to keep our semi rowdy group of girls on track, it’s not an easy task to herd cats! Over all this was such a great experience and all the staff I worked with were phenomenal 10/10 would recommend!

Coastal Tours and Kim specifically, was amazing to work with! I was so worried about not getting a bus/van for my friends bachlorette in South Haven and she was able to work with my dates and happened to be getting a bus that fit my group size. She was communicative and the driver the day of was as well. He answered my texts and confirmed good to go day of. I would highly recommend to use when wanting to do a wine tour as she also set up all the reservations for us! Thanks Kim and Coastal Tours for a great experience!

We have used Coastal Tours twice now and we loved both tours!! We did a winery/brewery tour in Coloma area and another in Holland, MI area. On both tours we had the best time trying wonderful wines and beers and we took home many bottles! Kim does an amazing job of setting everything up for you, making reservations, and making sure everyone has a great time! She is extremely accommodating and even changed to pick us up at a different location when our original Airbnb house cancelled. She is always such a pleasure to work with and a true professional. My family all raved about her and her service! We will definitely be booking with Coastal Tours again and again!!

We had a bachelorette party go on the coastal tours and we had the best time! It was a blast from start to finish. Our tour guide, Kim, was super knowledgeable and also safe while wearing a mask. Kim helped let us know when it was our time to go to the next stop. We loved all the wineries we went to and had a great time on the bus!

Coastal Tours was definitely a highlight of our Bachelorette Weekend in South Haven, MI. It was such a great experience from beginning to end. Kim was so kind and great at communicating through planning our trip. She was ready to answer questions and she took away all of the guesswork and made reservations for us, which made it such a stress-free situation. Our driver Frosty definitely made our trip very memorable, fun, and exciting. He had high energy throughout the entire trip and was very accommodating. Frosty went out of his way to make this trip so memorable, fun, and special. I would recommend this to anyone in the South Haven area!

I highly recommend Coastal Tours. Our driver Andy was incredible and truly made the experience memorable. When one of our reservations was running late, he recommended we skip the stop and took us to a beautiful overlook of Lake Michigan. We really enjoyed the flexibility of the driver. Andy really went out of his way to get to know us and make the experience special.

We had an excellent experience all away around! From the time I booked our tour until the last stop of the tour Toby was professional and easy to work with the entire way. I have worked for the hospitality industry over 25 years and find him to be top notch. He put together a fantastic itinerary of wineries and breweries to make sure everyone was happy. Highly recommend Modales and Three Blondes Brewery.
Warner winery closed due to weather so Toby quickly arranged for another one without hesitation. Shuttle was clean and comfortable. They even allow you to play your own music via Bluetooth in the shuttle and bring food/drinks. Toby recommended wines which we loved and checked in with us at each stop to make sure all was going well. It is the only way to see all of the wineries in the area!

I'm interested in taking a beer tasting tour. There will be 2 or 3 of us. How much does it cost and will there be any food available?

Hello,
Right now if you book online it costs $44/person. There is food available at several locations. I can make arrangements for lunch to be served with your tasting.
