Wine Education Experience with Tasting and Picnic
Taste of Washington DC
Feb 20, 2024
A few things made this not a fully great experience. First, we expected to be a private tour as indicated but we were not. We were part of a larger tour (6). Also it seems the winery is doing their production offsite so most machinery, barrels, etc were covered, dirty spaces or nothing on-site to see. While our tour guide was fantastic at describing and very knowledgeable, the tour felt a bit lack luster.
We did enjoy the wine tasting and the picnic lunch.
I would caution that this experience is not as advertised.

Hi Jordan,
We're really sorry to hear that this didn't quite hit the mark!
We can see that this is supposed to be a Private Tour and so we will reach out to you to get to the bottom of this. We are however pleased to hear that the whole experience was not tainted, having enjoyed the tasting and lunch elements. - Lisa

The tour guide Terry was excellent. He knew his history and kept the entire experience rolling. The first and third restaurant were great, the Mediterranean restaurant was not that great.

Great from beginning to end! Our guide Robert was very informative, friendly and kind, he’s been doing this tour for many years. All of the food was delicious and there was much more food than I expected ! ( don’t eat lunch in the day you take this tour!). Robert made sure several in the group with food issues were given substitutes, and we finished right on time . The only negative relates to the restaurants: they charged a large group service charge ( 18%) for drinks, so a glass of wine ends up costing 16-18$. This has nothing to do with the tour, as drinks are not included
Wine Education Experience with Tasting and Picnic
Taste of Washington DC

It was nice but not worth the price and not as advertised. Both this experience and their website says this is a private tour for your party, but we were on a group tour. The “private wine education tour” we paid for was $110 for 2 people and said it was a private tour, but we were on a group tour that according to the website was $60 for 2 people. So we paid $50 more than we needed to. Plus, the picnic was nice but did not include the Virginia chutney and chocolates as advertised. We also did not receive the complimentary cork screw and tasting glasses. Overall a nice place but would not recommend paying for this tour.

The time of the tour was changed from 4:45 to 12pm the day before the tour was supposed to happen. On the day of the tour, my husband who was celebrating his birthday with his two friends, arrived at the location at 11:45. They waited until 12:30 when they fibally got a call that there was a problem with the bus and the tour was canceled. What was supposed to be a lovely day celebrating a birthday turned out in a very unpleasant experience.
