I'm so glad we found Tour with Donovan after searching for tours of the wineries in the Hudson…read moreValley. Donovan is awesome. Very professional, listened to what we wanted, then took us to three wineries that were fantastic. Each winery had its own unique character and the wines were spot on, as well the spirits in the last one we went to. Donovan's van was very clean, well air conditioned, and had all the amenities needed to go from one winery to the next. He's very knowledgeable of the area, well prepared, and an all around fun and great guy. He picked us up at our hotel at Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie and after the tour dropped us off at the Beacon Train station it really worked out very well. We'll be gathering a group of friends and hopefully do another tour in the fall or before Christmas. For sure we will pick Tour with Donovan again! Thanks Donovan!

Donovan…read moreworked with me on planning the entire itinerary and made sure we were visiting wineries I'd never been to before that would fit the type of vibe I was looking for, since I was the birthday girl. Donovan set up each reservation so I had to do nothing but, book my trip with him and when he arrived he even had champagne and bottled water for us! At each stop Donovan made sure that we were treated like royalty. He didn't just drop us off, he got out with us and set us all up comfortably at each winery even going out of his way to get ice for our wine and helping us choose the best reviewed wines at each stop. Then Donovan even took pictures of our group at each stop and then sent them all to me to make sure I had memories of our trip. Donovan's vehicle was clean and well taken care of. All 9 of us fit comfortably with room for a few more. He was so hospitable and so much fun to hang out with on our drive to each stop. He played the music we liked and kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough about Donovan. I would definitely recommend him 100%.

Have you ever wondered what a sardine feels like? Or how to really box out in a way never required…read moreby basketball? That is what I remember about the Connecticut Wine Festival. The winery employees who come out need commendations, because it is just a mob of people waiting for free pours. It's a great idea and a good way for wineries on one side of the state to gain an audience on the other, but the design needs work. There needs to be a way to move some of the large groups out of the way so other people can get a pour. I had one pour (not tasting, one pour of wine) when I attended. Maybe in a few years it will be worth a try again. On the plus side, if you're doing the Wine Passport, you do NOT need to buy a ticket to get the stamp. Just ask at the gate for a stamp, get it done and get on your way. The rules of the Passport program do not require a purchase to get a stamp.

What a nice day we had for this festival!!…read more Parking was nice and close right across the street and getting inside the festival was quick too. All the volunteers were very sweet. Lots of venders and a good variety of food trucks also. The amount of vineyard that were there too was really impressive! We sampled SO many wines and got some extra freebies from them also. Most of the wine vendors were nice and let us double sample to see if we wanted to buy a bottle or not but then there was a few ass holes who denied us and straight up lost our business because of that. Otherwise it was a lot of fun and I'd love to go back next year!

The first time I went here, they had two types of wine and all their operation was in the basement. It may have been winter.

The wines are very tasty, although I'm partial to apples, and the bartenders were very nice to speak with. Their bottles are beautifully designed - Bethlehem takes the mantle of a Christmas town, and the bottles that embrace that image are so nice to have for the holidays.

We were looking for an activity that would be fun for a multigenerational group of 23 people with toddlers, seniors, and everyone in between. We had been in communication with Oliver for months in advance. About two weeks before the big day, we saw that the forecast called for showers throughout Memorial Day weekend, particularly the Sunday of our planned cruise. We monitored the weather and decided to make a decision closer to the day. Throughout the entire process of planning, Oliver was responsive, reliable, accommodating, and kind. On the morning of the trip, Oliver gave us multiple options and worked with us to make sure that we could cancel and get a full refund due to the inclement weather. He provided us with agency up to the last hour of decision making. On a day that could have been really stressful, Oliver alleviated some of that stress. That is exceptional customer service, and that is the reason we will be coming back to the Argia for another special occasion. Highly recommend working with Oliver and his team if you get the chance!
