My partner and I stayed at the Drake on our honeymoon and had an incredible afternoon exploring local wineries, breweries and ‘parts unknown’ in PEC. Phil was super charming and gregarious, knowledgeable, easy-going and flexible. He incorporated the wineries we really wanted to see and added his own special flair (strange brewing was incredible!) and a special look-out point. Phil was especially welcoming and inclusive to us as an LGBTQ couple, and we would sing his praises and recommend him to anyone looking to spend a beautiful afternoon in the county.
I had such a great afternoon with you, Charlotte and Katie! So glad the LOVE “letters” were out in the field to take more photos for your wedding album! Feel free to post some here...All the best!
We recently went to Prince Edward County for my sisters birthday and stayed at the Drake hotel. We planned a tour of the area through the hotel on a Monday in August. Phil was at the front desk on time and such a great guy. He was happy to take us wherever we wanted to go but had great suggestions. We saw some great local spots – Lake on the Mountain was great along with wineries, a petting zoo and a local brewery called Strange Brew. Couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon. Phil was very knowledgeable of the area (even though he’s from Pennsylvania and a Pirates & Penguins fan, I didn’t hold that against him), had a great sense of humor and let us do our thing. I’ll be back next summer with my wife and will be hoping to have Phil show us around again. Thanks again for the excellent afternoon, would highly recommend the company and make sure to request Phil as your guide!
I wish I could give 100 star rating. Phil was phenomenal. So knowledgeable, friendly and made our wine tour so fun. My husband and I spent the afternoon touring around at different wineries. Phil made the first day of our honeymoon one to remember. He took amazing photos and didn’t rush us. Would highly recommend!!

It’s not every day I get to spend a day just me and “the happy couple” immediately after their Big Day and Night wedding & reception...and a TV personality to boot! I had so much fun with you both and the serendipity of finding the LOVE sign for our impromptu photo shoot was icing on the cake! All the best and keep in touch.
We hired Phil to take us siblings around the wineries, cideries and breweries of Prince Edward County and he was fantastic. Phil is very personable, laid back, and showed us hidden gems of the County. Would highly recommend him for a great day out! Thanks so much Phil for making our sister's 50th really great.
Phil took my fiancé and I out on a great tour of Prince Edward County to visit many beautiful sights, a cider brewery and a winery. He shared many great facts and tips about the areas we visited and is an excellent conversationalist. I didn’t know what to expect when being taken out on a private tour, but Phil made it very comfortable. It felt more like having a friend to tour around with instead of a stranger.
Phil secretly new that my now fiancé was going to propose later that day, and continually asked if we wanted photos taken so that we now have great photos to remember our special day. It also helped that he is a photographer, so all the pictures turned out great! I would highly recommend Phil to anyone looking to explore Prince Edward County.
Leah and Tal, I checked out your social media later and saw the photo of the proposal!!! I was thrilled to be a part of the secret right from the start as were all of the staff at The Drake Devonshire. A day for us all to remember...including baby goats chewing the precious long hair of a professional model LOL. Hope to see you again in The County.
My sister and I booked a trip to check out the sights in Prince Edward County...Phil was a fantastic guide! Quite knowledgeable, flexible and friendly. We had a fantastic trip with him. Be sure to ask him to swing by the petting zoo! :)
Thanks for the review Adriane and Ginette. I think the final ranking for your favourites: 1. Artist Aidan Haley's stories, 2. Baby goats chewing our hair, and 3. Waupoos Estates' Pink Rabbit wine :)
