Most enjoyable Sunday afternoon with a charming couple & a wonderful driver and host. Loved all the wine tasting, the delicious lunch and the scenery. It was a bonus to visit the creamery, taste & purchase delicious cheese. Enjoyed all the wineries but Cherryhill was so entertaining with the owner,Xavier telling so many interesting facts about wine making.

We had such a great time on this tour! Colleen the guide was so personable and informative. We went to 3 different wineries and a cheese farm, all were amazing. Our tour included a picnic lunch which was freshly made and exceptional! We will definitely book with this company again!

We had a great time. Typo was a very congenial and knowledgeable guide. We had fun at every stop and met some of the nicest people. Highly recommend this tour. We will definitely come back!

Perfect! Colleen picked us up at our B & B. Comfortable van, fabulous scenery, informative guide, great wine, fun lunch, nice Canadian van mates, & back right on schedule. Would love to do it again!

The weather was perfect. The area is beautiful. Lunch was delicious. We had a very congenial group. The wineries and cheese stop were not only informative but delicious. Colleen the tour guide was perfect! Highly recommend

We enjoyed this tour very much. The tour guide was great, very informative and friendly. The wineries were beautiful, and the company was good. It was a great way to see the Cowichan Valley and taste some of the excellent wines of the region.

Excellent experience. Colleen was very knowledgeable of the area, local cultures, local wines and food. Beautiful scenery to enjoy on the way there and home. Relaxing but never boring.

We so enjoyed our tour with Colleen as our guide. Very glad to experience Cowichan Valley and sample wine and cheese of the region. Lunch was excellent! The other groups in the tour were friendly and personable and thar added to a most pleasant day. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about wine making. I also appreciated the fact that two of the wineries we visited were family owned. Smaller operations, with a love for making wine, balsamic vinegar, and cheeses. Although I live in Victoria, the places we visited on the island were new to me. Very enjoyable day! Thanks Colleen!

It was a wonderful day. Colleen is a very enthusiastic, well informed guide who took great care of us. The Cobble Hill/Cowichan area is very beautiful.

Our guide is extraordinary. Her playful narratives throughout our tour enhanced the tasting at the wineries. This is an intimate tour. At the smaller family owned wineries, members of the family presented their wines as if we were sitting in their living room. We enjoyed a beautiful journey through the forests of the Cowichan Valley, drank fine wine, and met interesting people in our group.

Great tour. Great tour guide and great wine and cheese! More characters as demanded by the app. Honestly most of the time when I get bullied about reviews I just don't bother

Our full day Cowichan Wine & Food Tour was excellent. Our driver Colleen is the owner of Island Time Tours. She is a wealth of knowledge about everything related to the tour and just about everything else there is to do and see on Vancouver Island. Colleen took us to three wonderful wineries. The commercial winery Blue Grouse was a lovely property and we enjoyed a picnic lunch while we sampled their wine. The first of the two small vinyards was Venturi-Schulze Vineyard. Our host Michelle explained the science behind wine making and balsamic vinegar making. We sampled her lovely wines, vinegar and jams. The second small local vinyard was Cheery Point, the owner of that winery filled our heads with information on how the soil the grapes are grown in can make the same grape planted in different areas of the property make very different tasting wines. He proved that to us with samples of the same grape grown on his property but in different areas. He also explained that the wine should be chosen first and the food served with that wine should be chosen to go with the wine...the wines were fantastic. Colleen took us to a local cheese maker-Cowichan Station to sample a wide variety of very tasty cheeses and finally a visit to South Island Saskatoons---a berry farm where we had a tasty treat. Highly recommend this tour and a big thank you to Colleen for paying so much attention to detail in making it a truly wonderful West Coast Island tour!

What a great way to experience the wineries of Vancouver Island. Our guide Tycho (not 100% sure of that spelling!) picked us up at our hotel door. He was friendly and funny and full of information about the area. He made sure we stopped for a look at the most scenic point of the road. The three wineries we visited were so great. We met the wine makers and got a real look at how local wines are produced. Our charcuterie style lunch was delicious and enjoyed beside the vines. Gorgeous day. Full of information and enjoyment. Highly recommend!!

Very nice driver who happened to be the owner. Lunch was great and very filling. Wine was unique in taste and you can tell the owners were passionate.
