I was impressed with how proactive Kent was throughout the process, first by helping us plan an advance itinerary that was both enjoyable and efficient, and then by squeezing us in for extra tastings at some hidden gems when we found ourselves with time to spare between appointments. It was abundantly clear throughout the day how well Kent knows and loves the area, and how well-regarded he is amongst the management at the local wineries. We couldn't have asked for a better day and will definitely be booking with Kent and Desert Country Wine Tours again in the future.

I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area and want to do some wine tasting.

My friends and I decided to visit Moon Curser for a tasting and although the individual running the…read moretour was knowledgeable and engaging, I wasn't wowed by the wines. I mean, they are good, but when compared to the other wineries in the area, the wines scored lower on my list. This was a smaller vineyard so the tasting area was held inside, which felt more like a basement even though it was on the ground floor. It's still worth a visit if you're in the area though.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this as a top priority tasting room. The best thing about it…read morewas the location was easy access and on the way to the border. The person pouring the wines was dry, lacking personality and enthusiasm for their wines and we had to ask about each one and pry to get information. The wines were in my opinion nothing special and seemed to be unbalanced with their flavor, acid and pallet appeal. I would recommend they get staff in that can at least create a fun exciting experience and maybe the wine we drank was just left over from a previous day or something....

Unfortunately, I must leave a low rating because wheelchair accessibility was very poor…read more The guide was exceptional and so apologetic. But, this was a teaching moment for her as this was her first time locking in and securing a wheelchair properly on the shuttle. For some of the trips between wineries, I had to hang-on to my seatbelt that was attached to the floor in order to avoid tipping over in my chair. The first trip, I had to have my partner ( who has a very bad back) bend over and hang on-to the rigid frame chair to prevent me from falling forward or backwards. The bus ride was very, very, hot due to the air conditioning vent being at the back of the bus avoiding the designated wheelchair spot altogether. Overheating with a spinal cord injury can require emergency medical assistance because people cannot regulate their temperature. All of these issues should must be rectified as soon as possible especially as you are advertising as a wheelchair accessible shuttle service. Drivers should, at the very least, have practical experience, and extensive training for assisting people with disabilities in a wheelchair...and for this reason only, my review is a 2 out of 5 stars. This is unfortunate because everything else about the tour was exceptional, and all of the wineries had accessible ramps and washrooms. The Okanagan Wine region definitely does not disappoint! I just wish I could have relaxed on the excursion and felt comfortable and safe. Regretfully, Derek Moxam

I absolutely recommend Grape Escapes and would give Dino a 6th star if I could.

Lots of knowledge about wine but also the history behind each winery. So if you are a newbie like me, or a sophisticated wine conoceour, I am confident you will still learning thing or two, and have a great time It was a great weekend. Thank you Dino!
