Expect to be chauffeured along the countryside in a meticulously clean Mercedes Benz GL550 SUV or one of our large passenger vehicles. Our guests expect the best and we deliver the best!  

Start Time: between 9:00 - 10:00am (depending on your pick-up location and desired tour) if your group is planning on having lunch before the tour we can arrange a later start time. Please let us know if this is something you prefer and we will adjust your start time. 

End Time: between 4:00 - 6:00pm (depending on tour options and drop off location) as a result of travel time, tours in the south including Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Osoyoos & Oliver may end after 5:00pm. Your custom itinerary will be sent to your group prior to the tour date noting all times.

Wineries are selected based on the size and nature of the reservation, winery availability, holidays, special events, and other factors. Our excursions feature visits to four wineries and have the option to include additional facility tours and enhanced tasting experiences. Please inquire about additional winery experiences if this is something your group is interested in. 

Yes, regular tasting fees are included in the tour price. However, there are select wineries where the tasting fee is not covered.

We encourage all our guests to come prepared with 2 pieces of ID, including one piece of Photo ID. Please consider the type of tour your group has planned and dress for personal comfort head to toe. Sunglasses can be considered a necessity as you will want to enjoy every viewpoint the Okanagan has to offer. A cell phone or camera to capture all your fun along the way, although our guide will be more then happy to assist with this. 

Tasting wine is a sensory experience involving the sense of smell. Perfume and cologne can have an adverse effect on you and the people around you during the shared tasting experience. We ask that you please refrain from wearing perfume and cologne, and other heavy scents when embarking on your wine tour. It is also important to note that lip gloss and lipstick can have a detrimental effect on your tasting experience. Gum and the like may also distort the flavour of the wine you are about to taste, save this treat for the end!
