Nicole was amazing in every way! There were a few of our party that were skeptical if getting a van and driver would be worth the money, but they changed their minds after Nicole was so punctual, helpful, knowledgeable, attentive, and fun! This service really made out wine tour extra special and enjoyable, and our trip would not have been the same without it! Thank you so much again! Greg April 2025

This was our second time using Bonnie as our driver and at this point, we truly consider her a friend. We recently went to Penn Yan for a day of wine touring and Bonnie, once again, exceeded our expectations. Her recommendations were spot on-each winery offered a unique experience and the entire day was seamless. We never felt rushed, and she made sure we had time to visit every stop on our list. Bonnie’s warm personality, local knowledge and professionalism made the day even more memorable. We wouldn’t think of using anyone else! Karen, May 2025

Nicole was prompt and offered us many suggestions and information on the area. Her driving was superb and she knows the area like the back of her hand. We highly recommend her and Grapevine Country Tours as a great way to get around safely. Five starts all around! Liz, May 2025

 We have been guests of Grapevine Tours for years now and would not do a wine tour with any other company!  We look forward to seeing Nicole  twice a year for our tours   She is so welcoming , kind and we feel as though she is “family”. Diana May 2025

 

Bonnie made some great recommendations and was flexible throughout the day. We did not feel pressured to try certain places, and she did well with taking into account our previous wine tasting experience. As an amateur wine drinker, this was a great opportunity to learn my own palette. The majority of the places we visited were great.

Bonnie struck the right balance of being friendly and helpful while also giving us our space to enjoy the day together as a family. I would strongly recommend Grapevine to anyone who is looking for a local business to tour with in the Finger Lakes Region. I can’t wait to go on my next excursion! Luke May 2025

We booked again with Grapevine and with Bonnie because we had such a great experience last summer. The value was right on target and Bonnie’s knowledge of the area and her suggestions met our needs perfectly.  I would highly recommend Grapevine Country tours and Bonnie and Nicole.  Karen, May 2025


Rick was an outstanding guide and he made our experience completely enjoyable. He was on time, courteous, knowledgeable and patient. The van was very clean and comfortable and we had an overall outstanding experience. I will certainly recommend your company to anyone I know who is traveling to the Finger Lakes. Gary, August 2025

The tour went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. We loved the flexibility to be able to choose the wineries we wanted to visit without having to be on a schedule. We also learned so much while having an incredible time. Bonnie was absolutely amazing! She shared so much knowledge about the history, culture and fun facts about each area we visited. Her enthusiasm and storytelling made everything come to life. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in how much she interacts with everyone. Her passion and energy made the entire experience one we’ll never forget. We can’t recommend Bonnie and Grapevine Country Tours highly enough! Jess, September 2025

Your company slogan is spot on! When Bonnie dropped us off, we all felt like we had made a new friend. You DO ‘Pick up strangers and bring back friends!’ Theresa, September 2025

For our 40th anniversary, Bonnie took my husband and I on a wonderful tour of both wineries (for him) and breweries (for me) around Seneca lake. We also got a little tour and history of the Geneva town area. Bonnie has a wonderful command of the area historically as well as currently. Anne R.

We had a lovely time and enjoyed all of the local color that Bonnie provided. It was our first time in the Finger Lakes region and we felt like we got a great overview of the area and what the wineries have to offer. Bonnie was a safe driver and very courteous. Would 100% recommend Grapevine! Karen, October 2025

Tour was great. Suggestions provided ahead of time allowed us to really focus on areas to hit. Driver (Bob) was great and personable. Ryan, October 2025

Our party of 3 spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon with Bonnie, the founder of Grapevine. She was an excellent driver who had an extensive knowledge of the Finger Lakes region. We spent roughly 5-6 hours with Bonnie and had the opportunity to stop at 4-5 wineries and 2 breweries.

We had a really fun day and Jessica did a great job! She gave us a lot of interesting information about the area and gave us an idea of how long to spend at each winery (5!!) to stay on track and to get back in time. She was very friendly and we very much enjoyed being with her! Peg, October 2025

  1. My friend and I toured with Bonnie the owner and founder of the company and she was such a sweetheart! Very knowledgeable about the area and seemed to know someone everywhere we went. She was our personal driver and escort in her Lincoln Town Car (very good driver, by the way). We particularly enjoyed when she went into Glenora with us and taught us how to “properly” taste wine since we are wine newbies! Having her there with us at the counter while we did our wine tasting definitely enhanced our experience. She seemed to strike the right balance of spending time with us and then giving us time to explore on our own. Felt like we’d made a new friend by the end of the day!
