Our tour guide was amazing!

We happen to think YOU'RE amazing! Cheers to good wine and good company. Best, Inah

This was a very strange tour...from the start, we could tell our guide was scattered. We began the tour by introducing ourselves, and when we got about halfway around the time, our guide interrupted the intros and started talking about something else. This was the theme of the next two hours – the talked, nonstop, jumping from one topic to the next incoherently, sometimes struggling for words, but never silent. It was to the point where it was impossible to have a conversation with any other guest because she never. stopped. talking. Additionally, when asked specific questions about topics she claimed to have knowledge of, she seemed unable to provide additional information. The tour visited two restaurants, and we tasted 3 wines at each and had some appetizers (of varying quality). The wines were decent, but definitely nothing special (~$20 retail). As such, opening just 6 bottles and serving a few cheap apps seemed to not make the price worth it, but a long shot. They should consider hosting this at a wine store or wine bar, instead of the restaurants – the format of the tour doesn't make anything about them inviting to return to.

Hi Jeff, Thank you for taking the time to write in about your experience and for your honest feedback. We, and our partners, can only improve with constructive criticism and we definitely take your words to heart. I would like to address the guide issue, which seemed to be the driving force behind your disappointing day. On an educational tour such as this, the importance of having a knowledgeable and informative guide is paramount. I wasn't able to get to a conclusion with the tour company as to whether the guide was having an off day, but regardless I can completely understand why such a stilted introduction threw you off balance for the rest of the tour. That you were not able to have a discussion with the rest of your group is an additional hurdle that I'm sorry you had to overcome - while guests are expected to listen during the guide's instruction, there should have been time for you be able to speak your thoughts regarding the various tastings. That of course goes hand in hand with the price of the tour as the price includes not only the tastings of course, but the guidance of a professional as well. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations, and I would like to sincerely apologize for the experience that you had. We aim to create memorable experiences, and I'm sad to hear that yours was memorable in all the wrong ways. I would like to offer $50 towards the next experience that catches your eye on our site, in an effort to make this right, and hopefully get you out on a better adventure! I've placed that value in your account should you wish to give us another try in the future. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Warm Regards, Inah

This tour was not what I was expecting. In the description I realized that we were only going to two restaurants. At each restaurant we got the chance to taste 3 or 4 different wines while enjoying some small bites. Because the group was so large, I didn't get a chance to really hear the description of the wines even though our guide did seem knowledgeable. I've been on many tours and I would have preferred if we went to more than two restaurants and if we got more of a history behind the wine or the restaurant that we were going to. At times, the tasting did seem rushed. Also, I didn't always get a clean glass when tasting a new wine. I had to reuse my glass. Doesn't that change the flavor of the wine? I wouldn't recommend this tour because I feel like it was not worth the money.

Hi Melinda, Thank you for your review. We greatly value the feedback we receive from our customers and are looking to continuously improve our experiences. I'm sorry to hear that the the tour did not live up to your expectations, and that you were not able to enjoy it to its fullest extent due to the size of the group and the pacing. We do limit the group to 12 people, but I understand that it can feel like more in an instructional setting. I will also pass along your concerns regarding the wine glasses to the tour company as I know they also strive to make their tours as memorable as possible. As you've noted that you enjoy going on tours, I've placed a $25 voucher into your Cloud 9 Living account that you can use towards future experiences should you wish to go out on another tour with us! All the best, Inah

Our guide Amy was great. She was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. She took the mystery out of ordering wine and put everyone at ease. We had a great group of people, and since it was so small we were able to ask questions and have them answered without feeling rushed. Would definitely do this again.
