My wife and I traveled to Penticton BC for a 1 week get-away. I wanted to tour the wineries but with not much background in the varieties of grapes and blends, I thought best of hiring a tour guide. Dino was exceptional. Some of his abilities included his knowledge, explanations of wine making processes, history of different wineries in the... More

I had a great weekend away. Dino took care of all the details no hassle on our end at all. Booked us in to five great vineyards. Picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Had water and snacks on board ready for us. The information was great and we purchased a lot of really great wine. What... More

Dino was a very knowledgable and friendly guide. He payed attention and asked what type of wine we were interested in. The fruit, cheese and crackers were a wonderful and needed addition and we highly recommend booking your tour with him!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our 1/2 day tour of the Naramata Bench wineries with Dino! From beginning to end he was so accommodating and a great educator of the local wine industry. We really appreciated the snacks in between stops - even strawberries and chocolates. What more can we say that hasn't already been said, this is a gem of... More

What a fantastic day we had with Dino touring the wineries on the Naramata Bench. He was the perfect host, so knowledegable and enthusiastic. He allowed us to go at our own pace, never rushing us. I would highly recommend Grape Escapes to anyone wishing to know more about wine growing in the Okanagan

We had a perfect day touring Naramata wineries with Dino in October. I would recommend this tour company to anyone who wants to not only taste great wines but learn a lot about the region, the history of the area and get to know some of the detail about the particular wineries themselves. We really felt pampered and will definitely... More

We enjoyed every aspect of our full day tour to the Similkameen Valley with Dino; our well informed and well prepared, very genuine guide. Dino's attention to detail was outstanding: tour itinerary, introductions to vineyard owners, chocolate for the tastings, in van H2O, grapes, cheese and crackers, timing at each venue, perfectly proportioned lunch and time to simply enjoy the...

We just had a wonderful week in the Okanagan, and toured wineries with Grape Escapes. Two full days this year, and great fun! Dino makes the day so interesting with his local knowledge plus serious wine education experience! My favourite thing about his tour is that we get to visit small wineries we would never try on our own. Most... More

I've had the pleasure of tasting wines in many places around the world and this outfit is a real gem. Doug (Dino) offers an unusual blend of pleasant conversation, local knowledge and wine expertise--he's the best tour guide I've ever had. If you want a tour of area wineries, look no further. Dino is tops.
