NYC Wine Tours

A group of girlfriends and I used this company last summer and had an AWFUL experience!!! We were misinformed about how much would be included at each of the vineyards, and the driver was terrible. He attempted not once but TWICE to put his own personal purchases on our tab… first at a CVS, and second at a pizza place where we stopped for dinner. It really doesn’t get any more unprofessional and uncomfortable than having your van driver trying to put his newspaper, snacks, etc. on your tab. Or having him yell «put my sandwich on their tab» at the restaurant. While we definitely had a great time at the vineyards I spent about $ 100 more than I anticipated spending and still have a bad taste in my mouth nearly a year later.

If you’re thinking of using NYC Wine Tours (AKA 1−800-TRY-WINE), please reconsider! Although this company claims to be the «lowest price on the internet at $ 72 pps», NYC Wine Tours is extremely unprofessional and untrustworthy, to say the least. Trust me, it’s not worth the few dollars you will save!
Not only did the limo driver attempt to hussle an additional tip at the end of the tour which he did not earn (note: tip is supposedly included in the rate per person), he also decided to keep my $ 300 iPod which was left in the limo in lieu of a tip. I spoke with the owner (John) about the situation on MANY occasions and he was rude, unhelpful, and insisted that he would take the word of the driver over mine.
There are many other great and REPUTABLE wine tour companies out there, please spare yourself and use them instead of NYC Wine Tours!
