We planned a small group tour for my girlfriends birthday on Sunday March 13, 2011 and it worked out great! First of all, visiting 4 wineries with lunch included for only $85 is a great deal, but to top it off, our driver, Debbie was an awesome host and was a lot of fun. She took us to 4 wineries in about a 4 1/2 hour period and was very funny, laid back, and because our group was so small we were not given any strict time restrictions at each winery and we even got our say into which vineyards we visited! Debbie took photos of our group whenever we wanted and even came up with some great group shots using the tour bus as a prop! She assigned us each a number and then kept track off our purchases and free tasting glasses we got at each winery so when we arrived back at our hotel it was organized and ready for us!
The food ordered from a place called "Cosi" was fantastic (Tandoor Chicken flatbread sandwich was YUM!) and was delivered at the perfect time and we were able to enjoy the food on the patio at the 3rd winery. Even the birthday girl was given a mini chocolate cupcake!
My favorite part comes the next day when I realized I left my sunglasses on the tour bus - my girlfried called Debbie and she immediately said "Yes, I have them!"...we decided to visit two other wineries the next day before we headed home and Debbie volunteered to meet us at one to hand deliver the forgotten sunglasses! I was so grateful (They were $150 D&G glasses afterall!). Now that is customer service well beyond anyones expectations!
So what it comes down to is this... you'd be crazy not to take this tour! You should probably consider them each and every time you go to Temecula for wine tasting! We will definitely be going again!
