Summary: My husband and I went on this tour with Kevin yesterday afternoon and what a fun experience it was. Kevin chose 4 different venues, all of which were great. As most food/drink tours we have been on, this did not disappoint, especially from the standpoint of meeting the others that are doing the same. Kevin had said we would feel like family at the end and there were some definite “oh so glad we met you” etc. Highly recommend this tour.
