In November 2019, I toured with this group to Umbria and Tuscany. What a delight! The accommodations were superb, the food was unbelievable and the wineries did everything imaginable to make our visit special. I am a wine drinker but this was truly over the top. Because Marcus and Jamie feature these wineries in their wonderful restaurant, the owners of the vineyards treated us like royalty. There was a relatively small group of people on this tour (26) and the group was friendly and convivial. Everyone with whom we dealt, from the hotel staff to the bus driver, was truly was warm and helpful. I've been on a number trips to Italy over the years, but this was something truly special. We ate substantially, drank copiously and partied hardily. However, we were able to learn a great deal about wines and the wine making process.

Read moreJust came back from the Finger Lakes wine tour. I had a wonderful time with Jamie and Marcus and the rest of the group. We went to some beautiful wineries and tasted some amazing wine! And I must say, I really learned a lot about wine that I never knew. Jamie and Marcus, really know their wine! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Jamie and Marcus really make you feel welcome and since I'm a vegan, they made sure that I had delicious meals . The Harbor View Hotel ,was exceptional... Loved it! This was the first time that I was on one of their wine tours , but definitely, will not be my last. It's such a pleasure to park your car, and have everything taken care of for you. They go above and beyond finding the best places to stay and wineries to visit, and of course the delicious food to eat. Thank you, Jamie and Marcus for a wonderful time and a wonderful experience! Can't wait for the next...
Read moreI knew our trip with VIP Winery Vacations would be great but our adventure to the Finger Lakes exceeded my expectations! Each of the 5 wineries we visited was remarkable. We were personally greeted and received VIP treatment with leisurely tastings in a private room. Wines were carefully selected by Marcus & the winemakers, showcasing some of the best that each winery has to offer. The winemakers and staff gave us unlimited attention, eager to explain the science of winemaking & answer questions. Their knowledge truly added to the wine tasting experience.
The entire trip was well planned & organized with great accommodations, transportation, delicious food & good company. Jamie tended to every detail. All we had to do was show up and enjoy! Looking forward to another adventure with Jamie & Marcus & VIP...
