From start to finish, our experience with Grape Escapes Wine Tours was exceptional. They made our Late Fall Okanagan Falls wine tour memorable and fun. Our driver, Mel, was friendly, professional, and took care of all the details making our stops enjoyable and stress free. Loved our picnic lunch overlooking the vineyard, truly an idyllic setting. Great job Grape Escapes, would highly recommend your services.

Grandma’s Elephant was an exceptional property in all respects. From location to amenities as well as personal contacts to answer questions and offers to provide whatever we needed to make our stay the best possible experience. A sincere “Thank You” to both Debbie and Dale!

Lovely, fun day. Beautiful views. Good wine. Pleasant people, very patient with novices. Driver, Rod, was fun and interesting and so informative on the history of Naramata wineries. Tour was organized and stress free. Would definitely do this again.

Our Oliver/Osoyoos Wine tour with Grape Escapes was amazing thanks to Mel, our driver, who was professional, very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, looked after our requests and paid attention to details. He's an outstanding tour guide that exceeded our expectations with the extra bonus that he could talk puck - what Canadian doesn't love that!!!

Our Driver Spencer was excellent! Not only did he know wine, but he also provided us a rich history of the region, both historically and geologically. And let’s face it, we got to drink some great wines!

Wow, what a "grape" day we had with Rod in the Oliver area. We also had a grape tour with Gigantor...aka Spencer (5' 21") on the Naramata bench 2 days ago. On both tours we had an informative guided tour augmented with awesome food from the "Bench Market". Our group would definitely recommend "GrapeEscapes" for your wine tour in the Okanogan Valley.

Mel, our driver and guide, took exceptionally good care of us and our fellow guests. He was knowledgeable about wine production and gave us a little history of each vineyard we visited. He even schleped our boxes to the van!

What made the day special? TOM TOM TOM!!!!!! Our guide Tom was the most lovely, humble, informative, salt of the earth guide we never knew we needed. Above and beyond a clean, air conditioned vehicle that made us feel safe.. he opened his heart and shared with us everything he loves about this beautiful place he calls home. Thank you Tom! We cant wait to venture another region with you this summer!!!

Hi, do you pick up in Kelowna for the Naramata wine tour?

Hello, Savannah. As a Penticton-based company, we pick up at any Penticton accommodator free of charge. We do not pick up in Kelowna, unfortunately, as it would be cost-prohibitive unless it was a large group.

I would like to find a wine, but many I've tried I don't care for. Would someone be available to help me with this?
I've never been a wine drinker, but I would like to find something I would like.
Thank You!

Grape Escapes Wine Tours was an excellent choice of tours in my experience. Not only did you not have to worry about not driving - they showed us great wineries and an amazing place to dine and we had a lot of fun and laughs. This tour company does not overcrowd their buses and pays attention to putting groups together as well. I recommend them highly.

Hello, Dianne. I think you are asking the wrong business... we are a Wine Tour & Wine School company, not an accommodator.
