The Best Wine Tour company
Aug. 2022 • Friends
This was our second time booking a tour with Kent because he is the best. He is always attentive to our needs and goes above and beyond to ensure we always have the best time. When our first winery of the day wasn’t quite ready for us he recommended right away we go across the street to a close by winery. When we had a bit extra time between wineries he suggested we add on an additional winery. He also spoke to the restaurant at NK’MIP to get us one of the best patio tables with a view. Kent is very thoughtful and is always thinking how to make your day special. We will always book with Kent for our wine tours.

Fun day touring about!
May 2022 • Friends
Kent was an amazing addition to our friends trip to the Osoyoos area. We had the best day touring around and learning about the wineries, landscape and history of the area. He was friendly, knowledgeable, a great conversationalist and everything you would want in a guide. Thanks Kent!

Amazing wine tours
Apr. 2022 • Couples
We have done 3 wine tours with Kent, each time I’m impressed with his knowledge about the region. You can see that he loves what he does, he gives you great recommendations on places to go. He has made all our wine tours very special and each one very different. We have found some new favorite wines because of places he has suggested.

Friendly host knew the best spots!

Kent was a wonderful guide! He was friendly, personable, professional, and knew all the great spots. We loved his company at lunch and nice chats throughout the day. Wonderful service, always willing to take our picture, and overall made the experience very enjoyable. The bus was very clean, pick up and
drop off on time, easy to book and all went as planned. Thanks so much!!!

Great Wine Tour
Sep. 2021 • Family
We travelled as a family of 4 adults and 2 children with Kent. Kent was very knowledgeable about the area and the wineries. It was great being able to travel as a private group. Kent was so friendly and made our day so enjoyable. We are already planning another trip with more family members and would recommend booking with Desert Country Wine Tours….ask for Kent.

Fantastic tour!
Jul. 2021
We had a private tour with Kent due to cancellations, and it was great! He was extremely knowledgeable about the entire area and gave us some really great commentary on all of the wineries. We will definitely go back and see Kent again!

Had a great time!
Jul. 2021 • Couples
We had a great time. Kent was extremely knowledgeable able and because we had a small group was flexible on places to go. Picked a great spot for lunch and picked all great vineyards to taste at(all studs, no duds).

Also was very helpful with ideas to round out our vacay.

Amazing and Covid safe!
Nov. 2020 • Couples
We are local to the Okanagan and wanted a little getaway in our own backyard! Kent was a wonderful tour guide for the day taking us to 6 different fabulous wineries in the south Okanagan. He made us feel very Covid safe as did the wineries. Highly recommend Desert Country Wine Tours!

Wonderful wine tour & host!
Sep. 2020 • Couples
Kent made our wine tour so enjoyable right from the very beginning answering all our questions via email right up to the end of our day’s tour (September 24). Our first wine tour was in 2016 using a Kelowna based company visiting the wineries in Osoyoos and Oliver. That tour was quite hectic (believe we stopped at over 10, which left the tastings to be very rushed) whereas Kent made sure we had enough time at each winery to fully enjoy the experience and learn about the agriculture of the area to understand how the land created such diverse wines.

We were the first couple to book that day and he asked us of our wine preferences, wineries that we wanted to see or those that we didn’t want to see (we had a few favourites from 2016 but otherwise wanted to see new ones that we heard about). To us, this was a very conscientious way of ensuring that the guests would enjoy visiting the wineries selected based on your wine preferences (Rob likes Merlot whereas red wine makes me sleepy, though I love a full bodied, oaky red. I prefer Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio, Rose & Riesling, Sauv Blanc gives me headaches, not sure why!) and made it that much more personal.

We were joined by 2 other couples who were each celebrating their milestone anniversaries and they were very fun. This tour was to celebrate our early 28th anniversary and my birthday, so it was definitely memorable! Kent also surprised us with a garden tasting at the quaint Stoneboat Winery, which was a pleasant time as well.

We stopped for lunch at Tinhorn Creek’s Mirodoro restaurant and Kent joined Rob and myself at our table. We had a wonderful lunch with Kent, getting to know him, his business, background & he answered our questions fully, being very patient with the questions we asked!!

In closing, we highly recommend hiring Kent and his tours to really enjoy the wonderful & diverse wineries the beautiful Golden Mile wine regions throughout Oliver & Osoyoos.

Our Tour: We booked the 6.25 hour tour and Kent picked us up from the Coast Oliver hotel where we were staying. His van is very comfortable with labeled boxes for our treasures. We joined the wine club at Hester Creek which has wonderful wines along with their next door neighbour Gehringer Bros. Winery (we love their white wines!). All in all, a big thank you to Kent for making our day so much fun and memorable! We wish you lots of continued success in the years ahead!
