My 6-year old son and I had an amazing time on our half day private wine tour - our guide Randy was super knowledgeable, truly accommodating and so very friendly. We booked the tour for our family of 4 but unfortunately one of our kids didn't feel well last minute and my wife decided to stay back - Natasha was super accommodating with the last minute cancellation. Every winery Randy recommended was top notch and we got to try smaller boutique wineries which we would not have even known about if we did a self-drive. The lunch stop at Black Sage Bistro was outstanding and our server Dakota was top notch. Can't wait to do it again next summer but maybe this time it will be a full day. Highly recommend Natasha and Winter Tours Gone South!

After booking a private tour in advance with our suggestions of wineries & a sit down lunch. We were very disappointed that Natasha had not booked us a lunch nor booked us our recommended choices. Their website states: “Wine Tours Gone South specializes in personalized wine tours of the South Okanagan. We take the time to discover your requirements and pair your tour with the wineries that suit your ideal wine tasting experience. Choose which award-winning wineries you’d like to visit, then schedule lunch or dinner at a winery restaurant.” Our ideal wine tasting includes high end boutique wineries. With a duel focus on whites & reds. We weren’t adverse to higher prices & wanted a unique experience. Our driver Luke picked us up at 10:30 but unfortunately most wineries do not open until 11:00am this had us driving around & him calling around to find us somewhere to start off our day before our first reservation that was at 11:30. Not a great way to start our tour. Likewise one of the wineries they took us to was directly on the property that we were staying on, within walking distance (something that we could’ve done on our own). The day was fine & Luke did his best to accommodate us but it was very disappointing when we had corresponded with Natasha for a few weeks & she hadn’t arranged anything. The bad start had left a bad taste in our mouths that was hard to shake off especially with the high price tag of the tour. Due to covid we wanted to make reservations ahead of time because we knew that things would be different this year. The mediocre service from Natasha & the fact that they did not accommodate our tastes & sent us to most wineries that we could but their wine back home was unfortunate.
I had a wonderful time with my group on this wine tour Natasha organized for us over the past weekend. Though there are special arrangements made for COVID-19 by each winery (tbh every winery is handling differently and has different policy on social distancing), the overall experience was fantastic and I can tell the wine makers have great working relationship with Natasha and she was very helpful and professional throughout. I will definitely recommend this to anyone and will hire her again on my next trip!
Thank you so much for the experience. Possibly the best way to experience a variety of wines from the area. Very well run tour. Definitely will book this tour again when we are in the area next.
We had a great experience on our tour this past weekend for a group of 5. I booked fairly last minute and the company was very accommodating. We also had a last minute change in dinner plans which meant we needed to be picked up earlier, but again, they were more than accomodating. Luke, the driver, arrived 10 min early but did not rush us. We picked up another group on our way and then visited 3 wineries. Good variety, no waiting, and Luke did a great job explaining everything (including potential covid rules) along the way. Both groups had done the sunset tour and we appreciated that even after dinner we were not being rushed. Would recommend :)
