Driver was very patient and helpful. It was a good way to cover 4 great wineries in 5 hours. Driver dropped us back at our door step. Very convenient.
Happy customers –
On Sunday June 11th, my husband and I went on the Barboursville wine tour with Nick as our driver. It was a great experience all across the board. Nick was a perfect driver and conversationalist, with a thorough knowledge of wines as well. He was quick to respond on just about any topic and had a good sense of humor, which we really appreciate when on vacation. In addition to that, Nick was extremely thoughtful and attentive to our needs, constantly offering water or asking what our preferences were. We would definitely request him again on our next visit.
As far as the vineyards themselves, we were quite impressed. The people were friendly, the grounds beautifully kept, and the wines very tasty. Some of the vineyards went above and beyond to please us with extra information on fine dining in the Charlottesville area or tips for places of interest to see. The amount of time at each location was just right and the total allotted time worked well for us. Everything from the moment we were picked up (Nick was early and ready when we were), to the time we were dropped off, was just fantastic!
Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
Sincerely,

We did the hop on wine tour 9/2/17 for my birthday. It was a great time! It was so nice to not have to worry about driving and having someone knowledgeable about the area and wineries. I had a wonderful birthday and touring the wineries was so much funl. We made great friends on the tour and met up with them later for dinner. I will definitely book with them again! Thanks for helping make my birthday a great one!

I took my adult children and their significant others on the Barboursville wine tour on Saturday, September 30th. Our driver, Roger, was wonderful! Since he was unable to contact one location (Castle Hill) by phone he called an audible and added Keswick to our tour. We were not disappointed! In fact everything from booking the trip to the actual experience exceeded expectations. Booking with Wish Wish was very easy, seamless in fact. We were contacted the day before to confirm our tour and Roger texted me 15 minutes before picking us up (exactly on time). He was fun, personable and very knowledgeable of the area.
The wineries we visited were beautiful; the people we interacted with at each one were fun and very knowledgeable. The natural beauty of the area is breath-taking and some of the wines extremely memorable! Even more so since we brought quite a few home 🙂
Thank you Wish Wish and Roger for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be booking with you again. I can see this becoming a annual family weekend!
