You might have a very safe experience but none of the guides appear to hold any certification by a professional organization that is recognized in Canada. Look for an ACMG certified guide if that is important to you

Booking with the owner, Kevin, was seemless. Our tour stopped at 3 great wineries and included a charcuterie lunch. Our driver, Mark, was fantastic and showed us all of the features of the Tesla X that we were fortunate to tour in. Mark was also a wealth of knowledge about the area and the drive by Shawnigan Lake Private School was a nice personal touch.

This wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Kelowna! Our tour guide Bill was an absolute delight. We booked the tour quite last minute, but he managed to get us into some phenomenal wineries! All of the wineries were so different from one another it was impossible to be bored. Along the way we visited smaller boutique wineries (such as a self-sustaining organic winery with the most adorable goats and chickens) and larger-scale, internationally recognized wineries. Bills passion for wine is obvious and he took the time to share his vast knowledge with us throughout the tour. We learned so much on the tour, such as the unique features of Okanagan wine and how to successfully pair food with wine. The experience truly enhanced our appreciation for wine! I am already looking forward to planning another tour with Bill in the future!

We were lucky enough to get a Saturday wine tour at short notice due to others changing dates ????. The trip was well organised with 4 excellent wineries visited, each with their own unique speciality wines. Our host Marianne had great knowledge of the area and allowed us to take our time where needed. Exceptional service and quality for the day .... would highly recommend to others.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we cannot offer this tour to less than 3 people or the equivalent fare. This tour features one of the most talked about wineries in Canada and an inspiring organic winemaker. A fascinating wine tour and great choice if you are limited by time but still want to enjoy a wine tour and tasting with daily departures either morning or afternoon.

Booked the Naramata wine tour for my wife’s birthday. Frank picked us an on time and off we went. Had the entire tour to ourselves which wasn’t a surprise given Covid and all and it’s is off season. We had 4 tastings lined up and since we were running a bit ahead of schedule Frank squeezed in another tasting free of charge. We ended up buying a couple of cases of wine to help support the local wineries and had a great time in the process. Will definitely call Sagebrush best time we are looking for a tour which is often as we have lost of friends who come to visit us here in the Okanagan. Awesome job Frank! Thanks again for a great day.
