Nous avons adorés notre expérience, la guide était excellente et les vignobles tellement beaux. Un après-midi sans soucis avec une ambiance chaleureuse.

Tres bon apres midi le prix vaut parfaitement l'expérience mon seul regret est que la plus part des vin ont les mêmes origine mais sinon tres bien

Très belle expérience dans le bus magique! La guide était très aimable, et elle avait de l'expérience. Les vignobles étaient très jolis et on a découvert de bons produits. Je recommande sans hésitation!

We were very disappointed with our experience on the Magic Winery Bus Tour. When we requested for one of our group members to join late due to a family emergency, the owner (David) was incredibly rude and dismissive. Not to mention, that he advertised the tour as 3 hours long rather than the 5 hours stated on the website. This set a very poor tone for what should have been a fun and memorable day.

The only saving grace of the tour was our guide, Lexi, who was entertaining, welcoming, and did her best to make the experience enjoyable.

As a group of 5 Acadia alumni, we were excited to revisit the Valley, but unfortunately this tour did not live up to expectations. The pours at each stop were tiny (at most 2oz per stop) and after paying nearly $130 for the tour, it felt unreasonable to then be expected to buy additional tasting flights. You would get far better value (and more wine) by designating a driver and visiting the vineyards directly, purchasing flights as you go.

The vineyard locations themselves were beautiful, but overall this tour was overpriced and left us feeling disappointed. Sadly, we will not be returning.

**UPDATE: The reply to this review only reinforces the company's values in not accommodating their guests or ensuring they have an experience that is value for their money.

This was my husband and I’s first wine tour. The bus was so cool, room for everyone on the second level! Jamie & our driver were phenomenal and really brought the experience to the next level. We made friends on the tour and it was a great time. We stopped at 4 wineries that were all very different and I felt the tour was very well rounded because of it. We will definitely do another tour in the future!

This tour company does a fabulous job.
Nice clean bus, amazing driver (Paul!) and guide (Jeremy!). Paul has been driving double decker buses for over 14 yrs! Not his first rodeo, and it showed! He was great! Jeremy was fun and a wealth of information and shared great tid bits on and off throughout the tour. It can get quite noisy (especially nearer the end of the tour, lol), so if truly interested in all he is sharing, you may wish to sit downstairs of the bus. * the more boisterous crowd gathered up top.

Ample seats (if full I believe sits around 60 ppl) - we were the very last Sunday tour of the season and had 21 ppl. If full, they do ask ppl sit 2 to a seat which is a bit cozy but comfortable. There are windows that I do believe open but it was fresh out so ours stayed closed.
There were 2 groups celebrating Birthdays, one couple a 40th wedding anniversary and a pair of friends celebrating their 38th Friendiversary. Lots of happy ppl, from all over: NS, PEI, ON, Zimbabwe. It was fun chatting with the other passengers.

We went on the Sunday afternoon (Oct. 27th, 2024) tour and hit 4 great stops that shared some fab wines. Benjamin Bridge, Luckett, Lightfoot, Le Grand Pre. Each winery did a nice job.
The lunch was at Le Grand Pre - a cold lunch with a glass of wine, wrap, pasta salad and a dessert (served in a takeaway container). It was quite tasty. We sat outside in a tent where it was a little chilly but they turned on 2 heaters and brought us all blankets.
Each stop was informative and left time at the end to shop and look around.
They supply fab wine bags (holds approx 6-7 bottles) and encouraged you to use as many as you require for all of your purchases (this was a nice surprise - but would have been nice to know up front as we had prepared and brought our own bags). Kept all up at the front of the bus in a big bin (so the full bags don't move around), they are prepared to tag each bag with your name on them so the bags don't get mixed up.
Asked to be there 30 min before departure, arrived around 12:15pm, took off around 12:50pm as we waited for a cpl of stragglers. So it was a bit of a wait but the pick up location is at the tourism building so many ppl waited in there so as not to get chilly (no real seating tho). Back by 5:45pm.
So much fun!!
Highly recommend! Will definitely do it again.

*while the regular Magic Wine Bus tours have now stopped for the season (many vineyards close), they will be offering Holiday tours coming up (not sure of the vineyards or exact timing but details are on their website).

Wonderful tour with regional history during the bus rides between wineries/brewery. Bus driver and host were both professional, knowledgeable yet humorous. Great combination.
1 hour was just the right time frame per winery to savour the local wines offered at each vineyard and explore the property if one can get past the flights of wine first.
The bus company has perfected their system of handling your purchases and nothing is lost or mixed up
To bad you can only give 5 stars.
Worth the money
