Fantastic intro to the Pontiac - The tour pickup was on time (actually the guide was there ahead of time). One would think a one hour bus ride to the first stop would be long, but our guide, Brandon, made it very enjoyable, with great music and lots of historical context. The wine tastings were great and the samples very generous. The charcuterie board lunch at the Little Red Wagon Winery was filled with all sorts of delicious meats, cheeses, fruits and crackers. The vineyard owners were so welcoming. The Coronation Hall cider mill was a fun, tasty stop, again, with lots of history. The owners were very charming. The impromptu Norway Bay beach stop was great! What a beautiful spot. And the final stop, Vignoble Les Collines, was very informative. And the view was fantastic. With the great tour guide we had in Brandon and all of the wonderful hosts, I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get a flavourful introduction to the Pontiac region of the Outaouais.

The guides were awesome!... - The guides were awesome! Very knowledgeable and fully bilingual. Pick up on time, snacks, sunscreen and mosquitoes repellent in the van. Very pleasant, I recommend this tour to any 18years + since it fits for a variety of age. The vineyard we visited, their owners are so welcoming and make you feel like home but with more wine in your basement!

Great experience and would recommend - The tour was good and went well and I'd recommend it to others. I would stress that there is snacks given and not really a substantial meal though. We planned ahead and brought sandwiches which was the right thing to do as I imagine the others who didn't were extremely hungry. Pickup is at 11am and drop-off around 6pm. You get a slice of pie at the cidery and a small amount of charcuterie at Little Red Wagon. There are snacks in the van also. We had no issues since we brought a bag lunch. Other than that small detail I thought it was worth it.

Great Scenery paired with Wine and Cider Tasting (September 2023) - An excellent combination of beautiful autumn scenery, tasting excellent ciders and wines paired with tasty charcuterie and delicious apple pie! Add in a friendly, humorous, and competent driver-guide with perfect weather, not to mention friendly travel companions on the tour bus - that makes for a great day trip exploring the Pontiac region of Quebec!

September 10, 2023 Tour - Highly recommend this tour! Zack was our driver/tour guide who is very knowledgeable and friendly. We caught up to the other tour group and had an opportunity to meet Brandon, the tour company owner/guide. Even though there was a set schedule to get from one place to the next, not once did we feel rushed! Each stop felt like we have more than enough time to fully enjoy the each venue by immersing ourselves at each location with a chance to chat with each winery owners. Keep up the good work!!

Simply amazing!! - This tour is amazing! The wine, the snacks and the overall experience was worth every penny. Brandon, our tour guide, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable and Zach, our driver, was also really sweet and was always close by if we needed anything - especially taking our pictures :-) I'm really glad I booked this tour, my group really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!!!

Beautiful day away in the Quebec countryside - The knowledge and warm hospitality of all the vineyards. Nice to actually meet many of the owners and having them share their stories and thoughts of wine making.

Exceptional!! - There are so many things about this experience that make it memorable and so worth the money we paid for the tour. I would say the one thing that stood out for me was our host Jacob. He was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and funny. He was so attentive to each person on the tour, interacting with everyone making sure they were enjoying themselves and curious about their opinions of the wine and winery hosts. A great way to enjoy the area and some fantastic wine

Great tour, but pack a lunch. - This was an excellent tour, however, there was a lack of a "lunch". Tour starts at 11am, and you share 1 charcuterie board with the group around 330pm, oh and a delicious slice of apple pie at the cider stop. Granted they do provide snacks on the bus, it's not the lunch we expected. Other than that there was a 4th stop that was not on the itinerary that was in our opinion, the best winery of the day! This tour is much recommended. (Eat before going) Zack was a great tour guide! I saved a few of his cheesy dad jokes to tell the kids lol he was very knowledgeable about facts of the Pontiac region.
