Customer Reviews
Fun day on the trolley and at the wineries!
2023-11-10
We enjoyed the trolley ride as much as the tours! Met new friends. Orion and Dennis were great. Thanks for a wonderful day!
Had I known ahead.. would have went solo to tasting room than spending the extra $$$
2023-10-29
Disappointing experience! The fees mentioned being extra to wine taste were higher than expected and we didn’t get any time to see the castle. Castle wines did however have the best selection in tastings. Lunch provided was a half deli sandwich on a flimsy paper plate with a bag of chips. We ended up going off the group across the street on our own to drink. Poor choice of winery to tour. Lastly, 3rd winery was just ok. Better presentation and walked out into the vineyard which was cool. The Trolley driver was cool, the ride was nice and enjoyable just not the tastings or value.
First impression bad, still good tour
2023-10-28
First impression was bad, Driver was 15 to 20 minutes late and didn’t apologize for being late he seemed crabby told us he would leave us if we weren’t at the trolley on time at the various stops somewhat rudely. Considering he was late. We felt rushed at the castle not enough time to tour the castle should’ve allowed us more time since he was late.
The wineries and the people at the wineries were fantastic and I will say the driver was very knowledgeable all in all a good trip, but I didn’t feel obligated to tip the driver
