Just a delightful experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable but far from boring. Great scenery and beautiful weather didn't hurt.

Very good day! We were picked up at the hotel on time and got a great tour of the city on our way to the winery. The first winery was excellent, great information about the winery, the making of wines and how to drink, store, use and pair wines. The second winery didn't quite measure up, it was only a tasting. But our tour guide did give us good information about the operation. _br/_ The drive to the falls was interesting and beautiful. We stopped to view the eagles which was pretty cool. Although the chocolate cottage was tasty, I would have preferred to tour another winery. Our tour guide (John I think) was very knowledgable and accomodating. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. We visited 3 wineries, Snoqualmie Falls and a chocolate factory. We got a private tour of the home of the man that started the chocolate factory. It was amazing how his home was filled with such magnificent works of art.

A very pleasant day out with a small but very friendly group. Well worth the cost.

Pleasurable tour!!

Great tour had a wonderful day. Chocolate factory was a bit disappointing basically just a stop to buy chocolate which wasn't the nicest i have tried.

Review by: Raymond E E	October 2011
Excellent tour of three winerys, a local chocolate factory and the water falls. The bus ride allows you to see the beautiful landscape and mountains.

How could you not like this tour! Visited 3 Wineries, had great flat pizzas at Columbia Winery for lunch, nice country ride to the falls, great tour guide (Cory) and they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel! Nice day!

A great tour! Wine, flowers, chocolate and a beautiful waterfall! Highly recommend it. The guide was excellant.

A great tour! Wine, flowers, a beautiful waterfall_br/_ and chocolate, what more do you need? :) The tour guide was very good.

Review by: HENRY V	September 2011
All winery stops were GREAT! All three had their unique qualities. The waterfall was NIce. We really enjoyed it. Great Pictures. The Chocolate Factory was not what it was painted to be. Too Small, not much detail, and the store was the only thing open due to the Labor Day holiday. The time spent at the Chocolate factory would have been better used at either the waterfall or the winery.

Review by: IAN P	September 2011
We really enjoyed this trip. Our driver/guide was very helpful. The first winery was not particularly interesting - more of a sales stop! The second was a great stop: we were made very welcome and were given some lessons and tips in how to "Taste wine"._br/_ The falls were beautiful and the chocolate factory was an unexpected bonus._br/_ The lunch stop was at another nearby winery; a beautiful setting but a little rushed if you wanted to do more than eat._br/_ Would be a long boring day for kids though. I would give this an 8/10

Our driver and guide was Cory and he was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The three winerys were different and very accommodating. Lunch was great! Our group of 21 was diverse but very compatible due to Cory's initial work at the pick-up hotels to introduce the new persons boarding and tell where they were from and engage everyone in conversation. Great time was had by all!

Review by: Elizabeth D	August 2011
This tour was very enjoyable, we had about 2 hrs for wine, 1 for lunch, and three for seeing the falls, chocolate factory, and getting home.

Review by: JEOFFREY U	August 2011
our tour guide was great! the falls themselves were not really the highlite. Maybe you should call it seattle winery tour with stop at snoqualmie falls.

Review by: ROLANDO T	July 2011

excellent

Review by: DEBORAH M	June 2011
The trip was fun, but the vehicle that we traveled in had several broken seats.

Review by: jane_carlson38	April 2011
This tour is best described as a 'wine tasting' and not a 'winery tour' since this is no where close to either vineyards or grapes. Also annoyed that one group was not ready for pick up and therefore had to circle back and get them. Not ready--late--really--too bad!

Review by: Melissa R	January 2011
Such a great trip- Cory was a fantastic tour guide and made it really entertaining!

Review by: Kristoffer S	October 2010
This was a great day out. You don't get much time at the wineries but it was still great to see some of the countryside around Seattle

Review by: Susan G	October 2010
The falls was really pretty and the wine tours was fantastic. The driver was very professional and infomative.

Review by: Patty T	September 2010
it was great. but didnt care for the tour guide.

Review by: Pamela E	September 2010
Very enjoyable tour.

Review by: Jay S	September 2010
Our guide was very good and kept us on schedule as well as being informative. The falls are a little dissapointing, but the wineries and the wine OUTSTANDING!

Review by: Lenore T	August 2010
We had a great time. The bus picked us up on time. Cory, our guide was informative and relaxed. The winerys were great. Try a flatbread pizza, wonderful with the wine. We saw much more of the areas surrounding Seattle than we would on our own. If you have been to Niagra Falls, these will pale in scale, but the scenery is outstanding. My one complaint, at the chocolate factory there is an old chapel I really wanted to see it. It was locked. This is a great tour, no kids.

Review by: John K	July 2010
Great trip. Covers lots of history. My advice have big breakfast, skip lunch and visit tasting rooms at the strip center. chocolate covered ice cream bar at last stop hard to eat.

Review by: Tom L	July 2010
The promptness of the hotel pick-up and the job done by the driver were very good, but the value for the price was not. Two wine tastings were included at a cost of no more than 20. The third winery was an additional cost of 10. Lunch cost anywhere from 11-15 pp. The Falls were nice, but still a lot of construction going on there that mars the natural beauty. There was no cost to see the Falls. The visit to the chocolate factory was a little lame. You walked along windows on the outside of the building to peer into the kitchen and then went to the shop to purchase what you wanted. The cost for the two of us with gratuity was over 200, too much for that type of trip. At the very least, lunch should have been included.

Review by: Margaret A	July 2010
The experience was OK. The hostess at one of the wineries did not seem to know what she was talking about. As for the falls, not enough time to enjoy the surroundings. In addition, the bus we rode on needed new shock absorbers. We suffered every single bump on the road. Despite all of this, it is worth doing if one is not "demanding."

Review by: Daniel A, United States of America	June 2010
awesome tour a must see in seattle

Review by: Shirley D, United States of America	May 2010
This tour was a lot of fun, and my friends that drink were impressed with the wineries we went to. They have pretty nice gift shops also. We did not go for the free lunch, as my firends wanted to spend more time at the last winery. The falls were really awesome!

Review by: Anonymous, Indonesia	March 2010
It would be better if we could stay in Snoqualmie Falls longer

Review by: Henry W, United States of America	October 2009
This was our first visit to the northwest part of our country and this was a great way to see more of the area besides Seattle.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2009
Great trip - but very rushed. Needed more time in the wineries.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	September 2009
This tour was ok. I was really looking forward to visiting a particular winery only to find out it was closed for an event. It was raining buckets and the bus was leaking, but fortunately they switched out our bus while we were at one of the stops. The driver was impossible to understand, but it ended up adding to the quirkiness of the whole trip. The falls were beautiful, but the chocolate factory was more like a chocolate store than a "factory". Overall it was a fun experience though.

Review by: Delvin K, Canada	September 2009
Friendly, informative, efficient, on time, overall nice experience on this tour. A great way to get out of Seattle City center, and affordable.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2009
Totally worth it! This tour was amazing. Not only were the people at the wineries very warm, but we got to taste a wide variety of wine. The sights were great, and the tour guide was over the top! He was friendly, funny and very accommodating. My friend and I forgot to order lunch--we thought we would get something in the area, didn't know it was a picnic setup--and he went out of his way to get us subs. I highly recommend this tour, the cost is insane for two winery visits and a chocolate factory visit. Would definitely do it again and probably will when my parents come into town.

Review by: Jennifer P, United States of America	July 2009
Since we could not do the chocolate factory, we went for ice cream, which was a lot better! Driver was good.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	June 2009
Went to two wineries, Chateau St. Michelle and another one, not the Columbia Winery as I believe was advertised, but the wine still tasted good. Vegetarian options at restaurants--even the Texas BBQ place had a nice veggie burger--so that was a nice bonus! Longer day than originally thought, returned after 5pm. Waterfalls were gorgeous, and it was nice not to have to drive. The chocolate factory was quite yummy as well. BTW, we brought our 6-month-old, who sat on our laps, and it worked out well.

Well organised and executed. The driver/guide was very good and informative, and had a great personality. We both really enjoyed the day and would recommend this to anyone we know travelling to Seattle.

Review by: Suzanne B, Australia	November 2007
A great day out. I really had a lot of fun at the wineries and the scenery at the Falls alone is worth the trip. On the trip back, I was introduced to "Root Beer Float" which, as an Aussie, I had no idea what it was, but I am now addicted to them!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	November 2007
This trip was a lot of fun! Gave us another look at Seattle, Washington. The experience at Columbia Winery was GREAT! The falls were OK, not much water, so less spectacular than pictures we had seen. Also, not enough time at the falls to walk down the path. Overall a lot of time in the bus driving from one place to the next. It would have been nice to stop at one more winery on the way to the falls. However, not an overpriced trip.

Review by: Tim E	November 2007
Good wineries, alot of time spent in travel from the wine tour to falls and chocolate factory.

Review by: Siri W, United States of America	October 2007
Good tour and brief. If you want a hike at Snoqualmie Falls, this is not the tour for you.

Review by: Keith H, United States of America	September 2007
Our guide was absolutely great! I recommended him to my Mom and Dad.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2007
I was impressed with how much we saw on the tour besides the falls and three wineries. It was like the city tour was also incorporated in this tour too. I liked the stop over at the Boehm Chocolate house. Next time, it would be good to get an organized tour from them, on how they make their chocolate. We managed to tag along with another group and got to go in their workshop to see their candy making machines and various chocolate molds.

Review by: Larry B, United States of America	July 2007
Our trip was absolutely fabulous! The driver was friendly and knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Thank you for the great time.
