Great tour. I highly recommend it. - I had an absolutely wonderful time on this wine tour! Our guide Scott was friendly, professional, and full of great local insight. He really knew the area well and took us to a great mix of wineries, each with its own charm.
What made the experience even better was the personal attention I received. I never felt like just another person on the tour—the guide made sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and getting the most out of the day. He even played my favourite Sia song along the way and dropped me and another couple off at our hotel a few blocks away from the original drop off spot.
I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Excellent - Great trip! Small group, traveled in comfortable van. Wineries were lovely, gave generous tastes. We did this on the last day of our vacation and it was a relaxing, pleasurable way to wrap up our trip. Would highly recommend.

Relaxing day in Cowichan Wine Country! - Wonderful experience touring Cowichan Valley wineries. Appreciated seeing three, all very different and unique tasting experience (esp. Cherry Point where owner Javier was so passionate about the land, his product and a priceless personality!). Kim was an excellent driver and guide, warm and knowledgeable and provided a lovely experience. We would have liked a bit more information about the area and what we were seeing during the drive, but overall a fabulous experience. Thank you Kim and Canadian Craft Tours!! ❤️

Great wine and great company! - We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide, Colin Hawes! His extensive knowledge and excellent recommendations for Victoria truly enhanced our trip (his dinner recommendation was specacular!)
The tour was intimate with only ourselves and another couple. Our favorite stop was Cherry Point Winery, and the views at Blue Grouse were breathtaking, even in the rain. The charcuterie lunch was delicious, and the tastings at each winery were exceptional. Highly recommend this tour!

Great wineries, tour pretty good - Wineries were all excellent. Great experience. The bus and tour though, 22 people was so many. Was way too much trying to get a good experience in the cellar room at winery, couldn't fit around the area. Also the bus is old, sitting in the back half was so bumpy the whole time you felt everything.

A good day - We saw three wineries. The first, Cherry Point, was wonderful. The person pouring took time to talk about each wine, what it can be paired with, and answered questions. She seemed to care that we were learning about the wines and the winery. The other two wineries rushed through the explanations and descriptions of the wines. The pourers seemed to be in a hurry to move on to other things. The wines were all good, though, and the food at the second winery was delicious. Our driver, Kim, was helpful and fun.

Nice wineries but a horrible bus experience. - Our driver was nice but could have shared more information about Victoria’ and the Cowichan Valley.
Our bus broke down on a busy highway. At first we were told Uber cars were coming to pick us
Up. 20 minutes later they told us a new bus was coming in 40 minutes . Waiting this long on the side of the road is not acceptable.
The wineries we visited were able to accommodate our late arrivals. They were all nice.
It was just disappointing that we lost 1.5 hours of our day on the side of the road. The bus overheated and the engine seized. It could not be fixed.
The ride to the wineries was 1hour each way. Victoria is so beautiful it may be better to just stay in the city.
