    We had a great time! Family came to visit and wanted to taste wine. We wanted to have fun, too, so we reserved a mini van and visited 4 wineries – just after a major snow storm! Our driver was very accommodating, made great suggestions, knew where he was going, and really made everything work. Who knew having family visit could be so much fun??!!

    We booked the mini van wine tour for a birthday outing and had a great time! From the minute I started the booking process I had a great experience. When booking I accidentally chose service for the same day and within minutes Roger was calling me to confirm the actual date and make sure they had availability. A couple days before the tour our driver, Alicia, emailed me to go over my selected route and gave suggestions on timing and other places to visit. The day of the trip we had so much fun not having to worry about driving and Alicia was so pleasant and accommodating. We could not have asked for better service and we will definitely be using Wish Wish again!

    This was our first wine tour experience and it was fantastic. Our driver, Rob, was such a great guy. Very personable, entertaining, and well-spoken. Our only issue was that we had asked for a mini-van but were given a small suv. The vehicle itself was fabulous, but just difficult for the other couple with us, they had to climb in and out of the third seat which was tight and had very little leg room. Our overall experience was outstanding and we will be returning soon and plan to request Rob.

    This was the best idea I’ve ever had when visiting the Wintergreen area. It was all so easy and even when I screwed up my reservation at first it was no big deal. The price is great, the minivan we got was clean and comfortable, and our driver was amazing. She was so nice and knew a lot about the wineries we visited and even places we didn’t that gave us ideas for next time. She also was fantastic at helping us manage our time at each place and sent me reminder texts when we were close to the time we wanted to leave each place. We will definitely use them again and if we could have Valerie as our driver again all the better.

    Phillip was our driver, guide, caregiver, waiter, and all around good guy. We totally enjoyed the wine experience. The scenery was beautiful, the wine devine and everyone at each winery gave us a different education. The reservation process was make easy on line and on the phone when we were in the decision making process. So much to do – so little time. We highly recomend Wish Wish. And our new friend Phillip plus the door to door service. Phillip had to make an extra trip back to our house when we left our jackets in the back of the van.. he is the best.

    We had a great time celebrating a 60th birthday with a tour of 4 wineries, and the best thing we did was book the van tour! Our driver, Roger, was super nice, polite, and accommodating. He knew the best route to get us to our destinations, and was knowledgeable about the area and the wineries as well. He helped us with purchases and our lunch and was quick to open and hold the doors for everyone. We would highly recommend this trip!

  7. LAURA SNEAD

    We did the Jefferson County tour for a 40th birthday party. Our driver Rob was friendly and very accommodating for our increasing needs as the day went on. Would definitely recommend this company and Rob.

  8. Courtney Floyd

    Ginny was our driver for a modified hidden gems tour. She was wonderful, and we had a great time. We had 5 people, and were having a get together of college friends! The tour was a fun, safe, and affordable way to explore the area!

  9. Deirdre

    My group had an absolutely fantastic time with Teri! We wanted a relaxing day enjoying great wine and beautiful scenery. Teri made our time relaxing, easy, and fun! Teri contacted me the night before, just to touch base and to get a better idea of my group’s expectations, which I really appreciated. I told her which wineries I had researched but that I was open to anything. I felt like we were in great hands and that the the next day was going to be smooth and fun! When we met Teri the next day I knew we were going to have a great time because of her personality and her knowledge of the area. She genuinely cared about our happiness and that we were able to achieve all of our goals, which we did! Can’t wait to come back!

    This was our first experience with Wish Wish Wine Tours! We were celebrating a best friends 65th Birthday. The experience was wonderful from start to finish! We originally booked for Saturday and had a few more people at the last minute but there were no seats left on the mini bus. Wish Wish was so accommodating starting with the guys I talked to in the office. They immediately issued a full refund for Saturday with an email containing a code for the refund, then I went back on line and rebooked for a mini van for Sunday!! They were so helpful when I had questions!! Our driver Philip was right on time picking us up, the car was spotless and he was so accommodating, a great guy! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the wineries, and was right there every time we needed anything. We are looking forward to our next wine tour with Wish Wish and will be requesting Philip again!!! Thank you 🙂

    Leslie was amazing and really made our trip a great experience. She went above and beyond! Her recommendations, conversati0on and knowledge of the area were spot on!

  12. Katie

    Michelle was great! She was friendly, offered to pick us up lunch and we got to visit all the wineries on our list!

  13. Judith Baker

    Our wine tour was amazing. My husband and I have been on two previous wine tours to celebrate our anniversary. This trip was a girlfriend/teacher getaway to celebrate the end of the school year. I requested Phillip, as he was our guide for our anniversary trips. My friends loved him! We had an amazing time. The wineries were wonderful, and Phillip was knowledgeable and accommodating. Wish Wish is the best!

    I booked this tour for my friend’s bachelorette party and we had a great time! Our driver, Teri, was awesome! Before the tour she checked in with the wineries on our itinerary to confirm our reservations and make sure we were all set for the day. She was knowledgeable about the wineries and about the area. In addition to driving us to each location, she offered to bring us waters or snacks (that we had packed with us) at each location. She went above and beyond! Due to the current situation with COVID-19 she took extra precautions – we all wore masks, there was a divider in the car between the driver and passengers, and we used hand sanitizer frequently. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun winery tour in the Charlottesville area.

    My girlfriends and I had an amazing time on our wine tour. We booked the night before the tour (which was a last minute decision) but that was not a concern for Wish Wish. Our driver was in contact with us almost immediately and made us feel welcome. Jim, our driver, was phenomenal. He picked us up at our hotel and toted us from winery to winery (he even had waters packed in the car). He was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the area and made sure we got a first class tour. Plus, he was a great driver and made us feel very safe. Our tour was on a Thursday which worked great because the wineries were not as busy as they would be otherwise. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to winery hop in Virginia, it made for a perfect girl’s day!

    In regards to COVID precautions: the car that we drove in was well equipped with a plastic shield to separate the driver from the passengers and we all wore masks when we were in the car.

    Our driver Kristen was AWESOME! It was a girls weekend and she was so fun to be a part of this experience. She picked us up on time (actually she was early and patient). She confirmed where we wanted to go, discussed flexibility on times, etc She offered us snacks and water every time in the van between wineries. Plus she always had us check for phones and sunglasses 😉 She played upbeat music and was fun to chat with as we were enjoying the trips. Definitely recommend Wish Wish and I would totally book this service again! Thank you for making the booking process easy and able to adjust accordingly – we showed up to one place that was super busy so Kristen suggested another place and it was the perfect last stop. Keep up the great job!

  17. Joyce Roller

    Our driver Louie was great! He was very prompt and accommodating, talked with us as much as we wanted, but did not intrude, and gave us helpful information about the wineries and the area. We will definitely use Wish Wish in the future!

  18. Deb

    Our driver Jim was great. He was friendly, knowledgable and picked us up promptly at the designated time and place. Our Wine Tour was in a Mini Van with 2 of our friends. We picked the wineries that we wanted to visit. Jim offered suggestions and was even willing to go to a different winery than those on our planned tour. We appreciated that flexibility. Jim even made our lunch reservations for us at Veritas. We also appreciated the fact that Jim provided waters for us during our tour. The communication with Jim via e-mail and texts previous to our tour was outstanding.
    I give Wish Wish 5 stars. We hope to do it again in the future.

    Went on a girls weekend trip to the Charlottesville area. Roger was our driver and he exceeded our expectations. We were supposed to go to 4 different wineries and ended up at only three. That’s because we invited Roger to join us at each winery. While he was spending time with us, he got to know what we did and didn’t like. He recommended going to a winery that was not on our initial agenda. We went and LOVED it! It was the perfect stop for us. Exactly what us girls needed. We didn’t even want to go to the fourth stop. He also knew exactly when to join in our conversations and not too. He gave us the space we needed when we needed it. We enjoyed having Roger spend the day with us.

    He was excellent at his job. His driving was an easy ride for us. Especially since a couple of us gets car sick. But not that day. 😁 He carried our two small coolers for us to the picnic table at one of the wineries and then when we were done, he carried them back to the car for us. He opened the car doors forbus and lent his hand to help us out of the car. Perct gentlman. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. We can’t wait to go back and have him join us again. I wish I could give him more stars!
