Summary:
Ben did an excellent job, giving us local information as we traveled from wineries.
We were confused from the the description of the tour thinking we had Culinary & Wine tasting as part of the package, after we learned it only covered transportation, we were able to get a table and had a wonderful experience

Summary:
Jeremiah was an excellent tour guide. We had to make an adjustment to the normal tour due to a private event at one of the places. So we went to Barboursville instead. Jeremiah made the reservations for us and took us to a few different wineries after that. He was extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the area. It was such a great experience for me and my girlfriend. Would definitely take this tour again! Thanks Jeremiah!
