Our group of seven was celebrating a friend's birthday, and the VIP Southern Wine Tour was a fun way to do it! Our driver, Connie, was hysterical and kept us laughing the whole way! We visited four wineries, with a tour at one of them (The Cottage). Although one of the pourers at our third stop wasn't very nice, the rest were welcoming and fun. The wine was better than I had expected, and between the seven of us, there were many bottled wine purchases! Thank you to Diane and Christina for planning such a special trip! Extra thanks to Connie - I cannot say enough great things. She took great care of us and made sure we had a blast!
we took a ride on the 1 bus on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and had the time of our lives! The wineries are all very interesting and different, but all give the opportunity to taste the ones they make and even to take a bottle home (or on the bus) if you are so inclined. The tour includes some nice information from the driver about the historical sites in the area as you travel to the various wineries. If you are travelling to the north Georgia mountains, this is a must do experience. It is a lot of fun, very informative and the price is right.
My husband and I visited Sautee Nacoochee this weekend and decided to do the wine tour. It was fantastic! The driver (Chris) was so much fun - and he loves his job! The wineries had surprisingly good wine - not just the muscadine that we were expecting - and Chris encouraged us to take our time and enjoy the music, have a glass of wine, etc. It was a perfect way to experience the region. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back as soon as possible!
My friend and I did a full day trip to visit 5 wineries... The bus is great! The driver is very personable and easy going. The lunch was much higher quality than what I expected. It was so nice to be able to visit all of these wineries and enjoy our tastings without having to worry about driving. We are already planning our next adventure with VIP Southern Tours...worth every penny!
Had a wonderful time with the owner and crew visiting beautiful wineries and learning so much about the wines and the agriculture behind them. Many were so tasty they rival Napa! And being able to visit the wineries and imbibe without having to drive is a HUGE plus. We will be going back, for sure!
I stopped in before Christmas and was able to buy several stocking stuffers for one of the hard-to-shop-for women in my family. She carries many interesting soaps, oils, sachets, honeys, and other genuine lavender products.
This was a GREAT day! Highly recommend this as a day event - a wonderful time was had by all. Learned a lot, laughed a lot, enjoyed the views and the wine!
Great experience! Visited 5 Tasting Rooms and toured Habersham Winery. The bus guide was very knowledgeable of the area and the wineries. The lunch provided was excellent also. Would highly recommend.
We went on the wine tour right after Christmas to 5 wineries. The decorations were still up at most of them which was lovely. We experienced live music at 2 of the wineries. Connie Locke was our tour guide and shuttle driver. She kept us laughing and allowed us to drink our wine on the bus. It was very lavish and spacious. The people we met were sweet and the scenery was beautiful. This is definitely a must see if you ever plan to go up to the Georgia mountains.
Went on a full-day tour with my mom while we were on a weekend getaway. Our driver, Chris (aka Captain Fireball), was SO much fun! We laughed all day. All 4 wineries were great- all had spectacular views of the North GA mountains and we ended up purchasing 5 delicious bottles of wine.
