A Relaxed Fall Wine Adventure - Our autumn wine tour with Canadian Craft Tours was outstanding. Visiting after peak season meant a slower pace and more personalised tastings at each stop. Kim, our guide, brought a great vibe and took care of every detail — even with typical fall weather in the mix. A wonderful, low-stress way to explore Victoria’s wineries.

Perfect Wine Tour - Our driver and guide was Scott, a very friendly, knowledgeable, young man. Our group of four ladies were impressed by how he made us feel so comfortable and his continuous humour. We really enjoyed the wine tour which stopped at three different wineries and loved the lunch at the second one that was part of the package. It was a wonderful charcuterie board. The service was phenomenal, the wines were delicious and the service was excellent. This wine tour was an excellent choice while we were staying in Victoria.😊

Rainy day fun - This was a great way to spend a rainy day. Scott was an informative and entertaining guide and driver. He took us on scenic backroads on the way to the wineries, which was a nice way to see parts of Victoria and the countryside that we would have otherwise missed. We enjoyed all 3 wineries, but Cherry Point was a favorite because of its interesting wines and intimate setting with the tasting conducted by the owner.

Enjoyable day in wine country - Scott did a great job on our tour. He was a good driver and put everyone in the van at ease. His knowledgeable insights about the region and the wineries added to the enjoyment. Cherry Point was our favorite! The owner talked us through his process and we learned a lot. If you’re trying to book this and it says they are full just keep trying. Because people cancel up to the day before there usually empty seats at the last minute.

Comfortable traveling... - Comfortable traveling through scenic Vancouver Island. Our tour guide Kim was fun and made the trips interesting. She helped with couple pictures and identified local flowers. Taste testing servers were knowledgeable and helpful. Charcuterie at the second vineyard was very good generous portion and complemented the wine nicely.

5 Star Experience - The Cowichan half day wine tour was wonderful. The wineries were pleasant and informational. Convenient pick up in front of the Empress hotel and our tour guide/driver Scott was awesome. He made a typical wine tour into an experience. I highly recommend Canadian Craft Tours for your touring experience.

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.
