Winery, Cidery, Brewery & Distillery Tours
Let us show you the best of our Official Wine Region.
We Facilitate Your Wine Tour For You
A typical limousine wine tour is 5-6 hours (from first pick-up to last drop-off). We try to be flexible with start and end times, and normally start from about 11:00 am pickup to 4:00 or 5:00 pm drop-off after visiting 3 to 5 wineries based on several factors. Included in our services, your Driver will plan and pre-arrange the wine tour for you; we do our best to accommodate your special requests to ensure an excellent itinerary.

Situated one hour from Victoria and Nanaimo, the South Cowichan Valley Wine Region extends from Mill Bay, Shawnigan, Cobble Hill and Cowichan Station in the South with a higher concentration of wineries.
