I recently went to Kelowna on a quick girls trip. My friend whom we were visiting in Kelowna set up…read morean amazing wine tour with Matt from Experience Wine Tours. He picked us all up from our accommodations in a very comfortable Mercedes van. He was so friendly and informative you really get a sense that he knows a LOT about Kelowna and wine. On our tour we learned a lot about the region and the history as well as some advancements and new technology in the industry too. We went to 5 different wineries and each were unique. My favourites included Quails Gate and the Hatch as well as the cidery we visited last (the name slips my mind at the moment). We had a beautiful charcuterie board for lunch with some wine we had purchased from one of our stops. The charcuterie was UNREAL!!! So many delicious cheeses and meats that were locally sourced and made. My favourites included the pate, the Ukrainian sausage, and the truffle Brie!!! Ugh to die for!! If you're planning a trip to Kelowna, I highly recommend trying to book a tour with Experience as they not only know their stuff and the industry but they're super fun too!!

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

Not only did AJ open and close the van doors, he made sure that my father got in and out of the van safely and securely. I really appreciated the extra care. We visited 4 wineries - The Hatch was by far our favourite. AJ carried our bought wine, carried them back to the van and even was our photographer! At the end of the tour AJ dropped us at a restaurant that was on our way back to the hotel and then offered to deliver our wine back to our hotel. Definitely above and beyond! Thank you AJ and wicked wine tours. You will definitely be our next choice the next time we are in town. Highly recommend!

I think my favourite will always be the classic Sumac Ridge. But we did try an organic winery as well called Sage Hills which was great too! I would definitely recommend Merlin and Bare tours to others!

WHAT AN AWESOME TIME!…read more Our friend booked this (party for six) and the bus picked us up from our resort (Playa Del Sol) at 10:45am. We proceeded to pick up another group of nine girls for a stagette party from another resort. Caleb was our driver and not only was he SUPER friendly, he was EXTREMELY informative and made great recommendations (Hello? We brought home six bottles of ice wine!) on wine (especially what was available in local liquor stores or not). We stopped at three wineries: Rollingdale, Indigenious, and Quail's Gate. We then dropped the stag party off at the boat while we went to Kalala Winery to try their 2016 Award Winning Icewine (luckily they had some in stock for us to take home!). We then drove down to the docks and switched places with the stag party and hopped on the boat with 'Nice-To-Look-At-Nick' for a stroll down the lake for a nice dip. It was really refreshing after a long day of wine tasting. Life vests were provided for us non-strong (read here: drunk) swimmers that wanted to jump in but didn't trust our alcoholic instincts. The water was fantastic! Nick was a great host as well. We arrived back at our hotel around 5:45pm so a full day! This was a great trip. I enjoyed, not only the wine tasting, but everything I learned from Caleb, a superb guide and our boat ride and swim with easy-going Nick. Very hospitable and such a great time! Highly recommended!
