Vancouver Wine Tour (Fraser Valley)

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful tour we had! 🍷🍷 great wineries and wonderful group of people we shared this tour with. ❤️
Our driver Caroline was amazing!! I will definitely be referring friends to do this tour if they are ever in the Vancouver area.

When I think of a wine tour, I think of being guided through the fields with explanations of the different vines and how they grow. Visiting the cellars, again with explanations of the process from grape to wine.
This tour only took you to the wineries to taste their wines with a short description. The wineries were very nice and some had good wines. Our driver was very cheerful and pleasant . The van was comfortable. This was a wine tasting not a wine tour.

We experience a wonerful day trip to the Frazer Valley Wineries (just an hour and a half out of Vancouver). Our guide was Daniel Doaga an experienced tour operator who drove us to three wineries. He was caring and knowlegble about the wineries and the towns we drove throught on the way. WE were surprised by the variety and quality of the wines produced. All in all a great experience and would choose Daniel when next in Vancouver for another tour,

Overall experience was amazing. The people were very friendly and the driver was excellent. Definitely was a really good first experience for a wine tour. If you’re going to buy bottles of wine bring a bag to carry them. Would absolutely go on another tour.

Tim our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to 3 different places. There was plenty of time to taste and look around at each place. Lunch was a cheese and cold meats platter which was very filling.

Our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed the Fraser Valley wine tour. Tim was our guide and he did an excellent job. He’s very knowledgeable and personable and made the trip very special. We were able to go to three wineries and at one of the wineries they served a delicious light lunch charcuterie. We have all decided we would enjoy going back and seeing more of Vancouver and doing the wine tour again. Thank you for a great experience.

The wine tour was fabulous, Tim our guide was very knowledgeable about Vancouver, it’s history, Fraser Valley and surrounds & the wine growing region, his knowledge regarding wine making & different wines was sublime & ensured we had a well informed interesting but fun day. World class. Five stars ⭐️ for Tim the Tour Man 🤣🤣

I’m not sure where all of the “5 star reviews” are coming from for this tour. It really makes me question not only the tour company but also Viator. I will most likely not use either of them in the future. My wife and I have both done tours before of this type in other places around the world and they were much more enjoyable.
Good: The tour guide was the best part. Mike was very friendly and for the most part interacted with people and guided things along. He did a great job.
The Bad: The three vineyards we went to, were spread out very far with long drives in between. I don’t know if it’s because they are more favorable towards visitors, but ultimately it was ALOT of car ride for something that logistically could have been more organized. In that length of time you really could have easily hit 4 or 5 vineyards and had more value vs driving 30 mins to 60 mins between stops. Our tour had 16 people. Way too many. 8 of those were a wedding party that was obnoxiously LOUD the ENTIRE time. And when I say loud, I mean: “Oh my ____! Did they really teach you THAT in sex ed?!! ____!!!”. So yes, between them screaming out cuss words to be heard over the van and the high pitched squealing and laughing and dialogue it was insane. No filter, no consideration for others.. just a bunch of young women acting worse than sorority girls. I’m not opposed to people having fun.. it’s a friendly vineyard tour. But they were over the top.
The Ugly: I mentioned logistics of the tour… but first time trip to Vancouver- there was very little direction as to where the van was meeting. “Across the street from the Lions Pub” is not sufficient. All of the other people going found us looking as they were looking and we banded together to decipher where we were suppose to be. The van that pulled up was ridiculous. Dirty white van with no identification, falling apart and the AC not working. Yeah.. I’m sorry, but what we paid for a ticket.. do better. All of the other tour companies had sleek vans pull up and load people around us. This was like watching a 1990’s jalopy pull up in a line of sleek 2023 tour vans. Ridiculous. When we figured out that was the van- everyone was hesitant getting in. It looked sketchy. Truly- for what we paid- we really could have rented a smooth SUV and driven to each location in 1/2 the time and saved money. The vineyards were “ok”. I wouldn’t say the best in Vancouver. Again, not really sure why those got picked. Very little info given on Vancouver considering all of the people were from other places.
All in all- if you’re interested in going to this sort of thing.. rent a car and drive. Or go with a company that does a private tour for 8 or less people. This was a hot mess.

Highly recommend! Done it twice in the last few weeks and had a great time! David was an AMAZING tour guide and highly recommend him!!

Visited 3 wineries. Got a quick tour of the first one. Tried 5 wines at each place which was good, with a bit of choice. Kevin drove us. He was friendly enough. Did not really learn much, more of a tasting than educational.

What a great way to spend a day off, There were 10 people on the bus and the driver was so knowledgeable and nice. we went to 3 wineries in Fraser Valley , Glass House a unique winery, Back yard with snack lunch included, and Cavallo which brings its grapes from Napa Valley. I will do this tour again and again.

Our guide (also our driver) was excellent, very knowledgeable and kind.
The 3 wineries we visited were welcoming, offered very good wines to taste and we very informative. I didn't feel rushed and felt there was enough time to visit all 3 wineries.
The only downside was that there was another party on this tour and somehow it was misunderstood that we were one party altogether. After the first winery we clarified that we were 2 separate groups coming on one bus so we could have attention to our particular needs. It would be helpful to let the wineries know that there were 2 different parties one the bus that day.
Other than that, I highly recommend this company and its tours.

Our guide, Chris was very friendly and informative. He took us to a variety of vineyards with different specialities and vibes. We had a great time
I’d recommend bringing your own snacks because the light lunch was more like a light snack

Very interesting tour, nice lunch. Every winery has its own way of making wines, and we learned about that. The guide was very nice and friendly.

I visited Vancouver for my friends Birthday and booking this wine tour was a perfect opportunity to spend time together! Brent, our driver was very knowledgeable and kind! He took us to three wineries which we throughly enjoyed! I would definitely recommend taking this wine tour if you are in town.

We enjoyed an amazing wine tour with Brent as our guide. I celebrated my birthday with friends visiting from out of town and it was such a wonderful experience (and in my backyard). I love supporting local and playing tourist in my own city. Thank you Canadian Craft Tours!!! Until we meet again…

What an amazing experience, we went to 3 different wineries and they all had something that was different about them and amazing wine. Driver was knowledgeable and sweet.
