Winter Wine Tour - Worth It!

The tastings, food, education, views, and hospitality were great! Enjoyed the day very much. We started with terrible visibility and roads due to a spring winter snow event, but Paul was a great driver and added fun and great commentary during the day! Thoroughly enjoyable and worth the price!

A terrific event!

We attended the Winter Wine Festival held at Luckett’s Vineyards. Our driver was friendly and professional. He provided us with the information we needed for the event. Our drive was on time and efficient. Having Grape Escapes do the driving let us enjoy the event! The event was very well organized. Excellent range of wineries representing Nova Scotia and the food pairings were exceptional. All the staff were attentive and friendly making this a great event. We will certainly do another eve...read more

Easy to plan and a great time!

We had a lovely experience with Grape Escapes. They worked with us to plan a great wine tour for our small group and made the process easy. On the day of the tour they were on time, kind and professional. It was clear they enjoyed a good relationship with the wineries, which speaks to how they run their business. We never felt rushed and left having had a great time. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning an evening or afternoon out with family, friends or work colleagues.
