Husband: The Hipstoricdc Wine Tour is the ultimate experience. Our driver Carlos was friendly, charismatic, and very knowledgeable.
From the hotel pickup, having a spacious, clean, and comfortable SUV to accommodate 6 adults comfortable was the first positive that set the tone.
During the ride to all destinations, Carlos stayed engaged in conversations with us, which made the somewhat long drive seem shorter.
Once at each destination, he took the responsibility to take pictures and videos for us, especially scenery we may have not been aware of. Sharing knowledge and history of the surrounding areas as well as the wineries proves Carlos is a premier host.
His care throughout the tour allowed us to really enjoy our time. The birthday man was excited and highly satisfied from beginning to end. Carlos is someone we will call upon again.
Wife: Ditto to my husband's response. Also, Carlos wore a hands-free microphone so that you could hear him throughout the ride while providing the history of the towns and wineries. We felt important...like celebraties.
His attention to detail was impeccable! He provided a charcuterie board that had local cheese, meat, and honey to pair with our wine. Taking pictures throughout that day allowed us to be engaged and not distracted by our phones.
Providing a birthday gift to my husband was so personable. He truly made our group feel special and catered, too.
Carlos is passionate about his services and making sure everyone has an amazing experience!
We have expressed to our family friends to experience this greatness by reserving a wine tour with Hipstoricdc!
I highly recommend booking with this company for your next wine tour!
I'm so glad that we have met and look forward to using...
   Read moreIt’s taken me a week to come down from cloud 9 after the experience with Hipstoricdc’s private wine tour on 11/13/24. We were blessed to have the company’s founder, Carlos, as our chauffeur and wine tour guide. Carlos is nothing short of amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Virginia’s Wine Country and about the production of wine. Carlos is timely, accommodating, responsive, and committed to customer service excellence. Carlos is thoughtful, insightful, and funny! All of this feedback is my objective feedback about our exceptional wine tour experience in comparison to many other wine tours we’ve taken over the years. And now for the Big Bang…
My fiance coordinated with Carlos to propose to me at Hillsborough Vineyards. He surprised me and got down on one knee during our stroll in the vineyards and Carlos was right there to capture every second of the proposal on video. He also took the most magnificent photos! The proposal experience could not have been more perfect, romantic, and beautiful without Carlos helping to execute. We are forever grateful and forever friends!
Thank you Carlos (and thanks to your business and life partner Brenda) of Hipstoridc for an unforgettable and invaluable Wine Country experience!...
   Read moreCarlos & Brenda from HipstoricDC go above and beyond to provide the most unique and fun tour of wineries with exquisite wine tastings, while allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Virginia’s countryside and learn the most interesting tidbits of history of the region (and nation). They select the most beautiful hidden gems of historic towns in the countryside when designing their tour for you, and they provide you with a carefully (and personally) curated selection of vineyards to visit. This was our second tour with them, and it was just as outstanding as the first experience. From the initial request to do a Virginia wine tour all the way to the day of the tour, Carlos & Brenda were incredibly responsive and accommodating with every aspect of the tour. Carlos personally drove our group and is an incredibly gracious and fun host and guide. We learned so much, laughed even more and had the best time imaginable. And what is even more amazing- from the moment you meet Carlos, he makes you feel like family, and vice versa. So if you ever think of exploring the vineyards of Virginia or anywhere in the DMV, don’t hesitate to reach out to our HipstoricDC family, Carlos & Brenda. It might be your first tour with them, but I promise you it will not be your...
