Our tour started with a very pleasant surprise - our private driver, Don, was personable, knowledgeable about the area, and a die-hard Bobby Orr and Boston Bruins hockey fan. He was the best!!! With stops at 5 wineries, we tasted 20 wines (!), had a delicious charcuterie board and stopped at a chocolate factory for some sweets. We are now ice wine converts! Great day, great introduction to the area and definitely worth the price we paid. Definitely a winner!”
