Our wine-industry certified guides will help you:

• Discover hard-to-find, small, family-owned wineries and sip handcrafted wines in intimate settings.
• Experience many gold and double gold medal winning wines, and learn tasting techniques used by professional judges.
• Imagine a well-set table – maybe in a vineyard, a winery or one of many beautiful nature spots – as you enjoy a fresh, hand-crafted gourmet picnic lunch featuring local food and seasonal produce. Got lunch?
• We?ll guide you, not just drive you, through wine country. Our professional guides are certified by the world?s most recognized wine institute, the Wine & Spirit Educational Trust in London, England and the Okanagan Wine Ambassadors program from UBCO – enabling us to introduce you to more along our journey.
• Learning and sipping made fun. Wine is very social – and our educational style makes all you hear easy to remember.

The adventure never stops! We’re constantly traveling to all wine-growing regions of the South Okanagan in search of the best and most interesting wineries on Naramata Bench, in Summerland, Okanagan Falls, Oliver-Osoyoos, and the Similkameen Valley.

We treat every guest like you are our only client, and this impeccable personal relationship, service, and experience is what stands us apart from the rest. We are passionate about helping consumers discover our fabulous Okanagan wines, feel confident about buying wine, ordering wine in a restaurant or just talking about wine and having fun!
