What People Have to Say!

  • Had a wonderful tour with Peter A. on Tuesday. Great service. Peter was very personable and made the tour seem like a family outing. His knowledge of the area and insights on the wineries and history of Essex county area certainly added to the tour. (His recommendation for supper on Wednesday night (Mazaar) was spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal.). The Tour…First stop was Oxley Winery where we had some great wine and a very, very tasty lunch. Peter then took us down to overlook the lake and show us some points of interest. Second stop was North 42 Winery - again beautiful as was the Lavender farm as well. The young Gentleman serving us there (Brandon K.) is an absolute treasure - personable and had a great deal of information to offer about the wines. Enjoyed his banter very much. Last stop was Viewpoint Winery. What an absolutely gorgeous location looking out over the lake - beautiful spot for a wedding; and coincidently Peter’s daughter was married there. All of these wonderful locations mixed around Peter’s company and knowledge of the area made for an absolutely spectacular day for my wife. I would highly recommend Grape Vine Tours if you are looking for something to do in the Windsor area - you won’t be disappointed. Ask for Peter A. If he is available, he is great guide.

  • Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how pleased we were with our tour today. This was not our first rodeo but we can say with clarity that Norma has made our day more enjoyable than any of our previous guides. This is not complaint about those we have had before but a compliment to her. All the best.
