Gale was an energetic happy go lucky tour guide. She very familiar with the wine area, and gave us lots of interesting facts about the Quebec wine industry. The wines which we sampled were fabulous. We enjoyed the half day experience with Gale.I would suggest this to anybody that enjoys wine. And another great fact the bus is a small bus so you get to know the passengers. Great time had by all.

This was our first tour on our trip in Canada. We really like that our tour guide Michelle was very knowledgeable and had commentary along the way. The tastings were fun even though I wasnt a fan of the wines. I like that they are all very passionate about what they do. I even got to try their ice Wine. I also liked the vineyard with the animals and the baby llama. Very cute. We had a very nice time.

The tour was amazing, and our tour guide Sabin was excellent, informative, and entertaining. The two vineyards we visited were completely different but we enjoyed both very much. The first one was a larger vineyard with both wines and ciders. The scenery was beautiful overlooking the apple orchards and vineyards. They were very generous with their information and tastings.The second vineyard was quaint, unique and very personable. It was owned and operated by a lovely couple who had built this vineyard from the bottom up. We did 4 tastings at this vineyard that were paired with smoked salmon, smoked pork and cheese.....delicious!!_br/_ I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. We did the half day tour as the full day tour was completely booked. _br/_ I have done a few wine tasting tours including Sonoma California and this tour exceeded my expectations and was my favourite thus far. Excellent!! Thanks Pam

This was an excellent tour. The wineries were fabulous, they were very open about how they make there wine and gave us a tour of their winery! The lunch was great we had great cheese and meats! The wines were great, and they were very generous with the pour and the amount we got to sample. The tour guide was excellent on the way out he gave us information history of the city. I would defiantly take this tour again!

This wine tour was fun and interesting despite a bit of rain throughout portions of the day. We were given a tour and brief history of Montreal's structure and changes over time which added to the rustic qualities that this city possesses. We learned of the profitability, landscape challenges and dedication of the owners at the various wineries included in the tour and even made friends with the furry gate keepers at one location. Aside from the technical aspect of wine making, we were enlightened to the possible sensory bias vision vs taste, the dos and don't s of wine storage and selections, food pairings and much more everyday details that are often overlooked or under appreciated. Overall, with the exception of not having plating separation of food products to which cause allergies or better substitute meat items, this was a great tour on which we met great fun loving people, experienced the beauty of the city and had wine that tasted like Friday night!_br/_ the ladies from Toronto

Such a great tour, visited 3 wineries and had a delicious lunch. Sabin was our friendly tour guide, he was very knowledgeable about the region and the city of Montreal.

We loved everything about this day. Tour guide was fantastic, fun and knowledgeable! Each winery had a personality of their own with fabulous hosts! The lunch was simply outstanding, and the wine flowed all day long. It was a perfect day. I would absolutely take this tour again and highly recommend to anyone!

Overall the tour was amazing, our tour guide Micheal was informative, entertaining and genuine. The two vineyards we visited were completely different but both completely enjoyed. The first one was a larger vineyard with many different facets, from the beautiful orchard view from the deck, to the lovely wine tasting area. The second vineyard was incredibly unique and impressionable. Built and run by an ambitious and creative couple with incredible vision! It was a beautiful day that made a great impression of Quebec's wine country! Thank you Micheal and Kava tours! Rhonda Smith

We went on the half day tour and the one thing I would point out is that the cheese tasting comes late in the tour and is just that, a small tasting, so be sure to eat lunch before you go. Members of my group were starving by the end._br/_ The coach was comfortable and our tour guide was very nice. The first winery had some great tastings a nice location with some grape vines and an apple orchard, but felt commercial. We purchased a couple of nice wines and the staff was courteous. The second one, Mermures, felt like being in the French countryside. It is built on a hill with the most beautiful flowers along with the grape vines. The owners, a delightful married couple, were knowledgeable and very friendly as they showed us the all of the processing areas in addition to the tastings. They provided samples of salmon and pork that they smoked themselves as well as cheese made by their son - a professional cheesemaker. We purchased some superb wines and hated to leave!

Sabin was an excellent guide. He was very knowable and passionate about the history of the area and the wine making process. We enjoyed the experience at each vineyard! Each was different. It was well worth the cost!!!
Review by: Dorrie M, September 2017
Our tour guide Sabine was very entertaining. He was fluent in both English and French plus his knowledge on wine and the history of Quebec was extensive. The wine tour was fabulous and the countryside was amazing. We have been on many wine tours and this one was one of the best. Each of the 3 wineries we visited were very unique and gave lots of different information and tips. The lunch was a culinary delight. There was no skimping on food or the generous pouring of wine samples. We highly recommend this tour.

We had a good time. The trip was much more than what we expected.
Review by: akimbo, September 2017
Highly recommended for this small intimate group about 20 or so. Your tour guide also your driver is very knowledgeable and courteous in all aspects. It's broaden my sights a lot about Canadian wines and what does it made of famous ice cider. My personal preference had gone through the second small vineyard which is managed by a jolly good couple. Her wines should be more recognisable and introduced to the wine bar of Montreal.
Review by: Deborah L, September 2017
I booked the half-day tour because the full-day was unavailable. I had a wonderful time, and it was a good introduction to Canadian wine country. Sabin I think that is the correct spelling, our driver/guide, was knowledgeable and personable. The two wineries/vineyards we visited were very different and provided interesting contrasts in how various wines are produced in the region. I recommend this tour, and being a small-group one, it allows you to more easily meet and interact with others than a large-group tour wouldat least, that has been my experience as a solo traveler.
