Has anyone taken any commercial (not self-directed) tours of Virginia wineries?
I am looking for an all-inclusive deal where the tour company drives you to the wineries so you don't have to worry about having a designated driver, getting lost, etc. It would be especially great if the tour price included lodging.
Unfortunately, I am having trouble separating the scam outfits from the real ones. One outfit, Wine Tours of Virginia, advertised a deal that sounded too good to be true, and apparently was...it is no longer in business, and has a lot of bitter complaints on yelp.com.
Other advertisements are vague as to what is "included" and what is not. Customer reviews indicate that frequent "misunderstandings" arise when "all-inclusive" turns out not to include the costs charged by the wineries. That is actually OK with us - as long as it is clear up front.
Anyway, I would love to hear of anyone's experience with Virginia wine tours.
Thanks,
Amethyst
