Highly recommend - We did a girls trip to Charlottesville and this was the highlight of the weekend. Jeremiah was amazing as a driver. The SUV was clean, he was a safe driver, very personable and showed us all the sites. Even made reservations for us at all of the wineries. Definitely recommend!

Must do tour while in Charlottesville - Jeremiah was absolutely the best tour guide. He picked us up at our hotel in Charlottesville and took us to three wonderful wineries that he suggested. We were visiting the area so we didn’t have a particular winery in mind. However, he would have been willing to go to a specific one if requested. We spent about 75 -90 minutes at each winery. He was a wealth of knowledge of each winery and history of the area. If you’re ever in Charlottesville this is a must do tour to take. A great stress-free way to visit wineries and not worry about driving

Highly Recommended- Excellent service/company. Thanks, Jeremiah!!! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Like a friend driving you. Jeremiah was wonderful from the first email inquiry. We were a couple visiting Charlottesville, particularly around Monticello, for a big birthday. Visited four wineries. Jeremiah was great in advance for taking our requests and preferences and designing a wonderful itinerary. One small winery he recommended (shout out to Hona Lee!!! Family run, great wine, super friendly) turned out to be our favorite!!! Super professional, beautiful sparkling clean and cool touring vehicle; arrived early; communicative; flexible; knowledgeable; and a fantastic conversationalist. We REALLY enjoyed our trip and meeting Jeremiah. Highly recommend to any couple or small group of friends looking for a truly personable, welcoming, and professional guide/experience. 5 stars!!! Can’t wait to do again sometime.

Ole Crow Tours of Greater Charlottesville - I wanted to create a great trip for my 50+ year old high school friends when they visited on June 24, 2025. Jeremiah, owner of Ole Crow Tours was professional, punctual, friendly, flexible and informative. It was the hottest day of the summer so far and Jeremiah made sure his spacious, impeccable clean vehicle was cooled down before we embarked on our adventures and in between stops. Jeremiah also had plenty of cold water bottles at our disposal. I think we drank them all! We were on a fairly tight schedule so timing was of the utmost importance. Jeremiah made sure we stayed on track. The tour and stops we made were perfect. Visit his website jtolley@olecrowtours.com and you will find all kinds of tours or if you want to create your own he is happy to accommodate. It was a great day and a home run for my friends. Thank you Jeremiah and Old Crow Tours.

Amazingly Curated Celebration - No matter what kind of adventure you envision—whether it's Hot Air Ballooning, leisurely Golf, or indulgent Wine Tours custom-tailored to your tastes—look no further than Jeremiah Tolley at Ole Crow Tours. I initially contacted Jeremiah through email, outlining specific preferences for wines and a memorable dinner for my wife’s birthday surprise. He orchestrated an experience that exceeded all our expectations. Our journey began with an engaging area history, followed by a delightful tour of Meri Mill Winery, accompanied by live music and exceptional wines. Afterward, we were ushered away in his immaculate and stunning SUV to our next destination, Barboursville Vineyards. There, we strolled the beautifully maintained grounds and explored the historic ruins, which added a unique charm to our visit. When the time came for our culinary experience, we were taken to the estate where, in an intimate gathering, we enjoyed a multi-course meal perfectly paired with exquisite wines. This was more than just an outing; it was a thoughtfully curated adventure that made for an unforgettable celebration. Thank you, Jeremiah, for such a wonderful adventure

We had a wonderful day touring the wineries - We had a wonderful time with Ole Crow Tours, the company that conducts this private wine tour. I'll be using them again next time I visit the area. First, the team there is a pleasure to work with. Ole Crow makes the tour all about you. There were 5 of us spending a weekend in Staunton, VA and we wanted to experience a day of wine tasting in the beautiful Monticello and Shenandoah wine region. None of us knew much about the region. Jeremiah, the owner, was so helpful in customizing a tour. He listened to what we wanted, made great suggestions for wineries, food options, scenery, and atmosphere to help us narrow down our list. They make a reservation so the winery is expecting you when you arrive. We lucked out and had Jeremiah as our driver that day. He dropped us off at the winery entrance and we spent about 60-90 mins at each. I believe they are flexible on how much time you spend at each. Then we would hop back in the comfortable SUV and we were on our way to the next. Could not be easier and no one had to worry about driving. Highly recommend!

Good - The tour was good and the wineries we stopped at were good. My only issue is that most every place we went to asked if we had a reservation (one place you had to have one to even go in their tasting room) so I feel like for the money we spent the company should be able to get us reservations. At least that is how it has been on other private tours that I have done in Charlottesville.
