      Three years of tours. Never disappointed.
      Ron was our driver and he was very prompt. We invited family with us and they loved their experience. Ron was accommodating and very friendly with us through the entirety of the tour. We will recommend Ron and Crush tours to all of our friends and family.

      Darryl was a great tour driver. Full of great stories and positive energy! We went to some places we never would have known existed. I definitely remember him.

      To Expensive
      It was an expensive taxi ride. An Uber would be cheaper. The driver was pleasant but only told us where we would be going. We were all expecting some history of the area and wineries and local interesting facts. Sorry, I don't believe it was worth the expense.

      Great afternoon!
      Jim was a fabulous escort/driver! He was very solicitous of one of our handicapped travelers. He was knowledgeable about the area and the wineries and came prepared with water and snacks. Cannot recommend more highly. A fun outing, well worth it!

      Great Time But a Bit Pricey
      My girl friend and I just returned from the Small & Mighty plus Lunch tour. We had a great time and visited four vineyards on Seneca Lake. The two other couples we were with were delightful. We tasted wine at all four, but there didn't appear to be any wineries on the grounds to tour. Our driver Debbie was excellent. She was very friendly, on-time, and provided us with additional information regarding the area. Because the tour didn't take the full eight hours, she took us to a nearby Amish store which certainly added to our experience. We did find the tour and lunch expensive and not necessarily worth what we paid, especially considering all of the places we went to charged only $10 to $15 to do the tasting if we went on our own. The $60 lunch was nice because it was convenient and it was served at the first vineyard after we completed the tasting, but it too was priced high for what we received. Bottom line; if you don't want to drive yourself, it was a great experience, but a bit pricey.

      Great Customer Experience
      Had an amazing experience with Crush Beer and Wine Tours! My group specifically did a wine tour to celebrate my friend’s birthday! Our driver Darryl was very friendly and super accommodating throughout the whole trip. He’d tell us some background information about all the beautiful properties we were going to be visiting and made sure we didnt miss out on seeing the gorgeous lake views as we drove down Seneca lake. He even snapped group photos of us at each location which was a nice added bonus that he didn't have to do for us. Overall it was a great time and I can’t wait to book my next one!

    My friends and I took a weekend trip to the Finger Lakes for some wine tasting. Crush is a great way to explore the wineries in a safe and fun manner. Everything was handled through Crush - from the door-to-door transportation to reserving all the tastings. It was nice to have all the guess work taken care of. Our driver, Ron Smith, was so nice and friendly. He was prompt in picking us up where we were staying, and provided tips and history of the finger lakes regions throughout our drive. He even stopped at a farm stand on the way back so we could pick up a grape pie that we heard about at some wineries, and stopped at a beautiful scenic overpass so we could really take in the beauty of the region. Ron was great to sit and chat with, and handled our trip with ease. Highly recommend using this company if you plan on sampling a few wineries in the area.

    It was a great trip I took with my friend. The vineyards were beautiful and the people working there were very welcoming and open for dialogue. We tried all kinds of wine and found our favorites. The weather was great so we took plenty of pictures outside. Very grateful to our guide Garry, he helped us to carry the bottles, told us a lot about wine, vineyards, Finger Lakes, and the towns we were driving through, was very friendly, and even drove us back to our city so we didn't have to take an Uber (we finished with the tour a little faster than was planned). Overall, it was a fun and interesting experience, would definitely recommend it!

    Our group had an amazing time with Darryl! He was not only kind, funny, and entertaining, but also was incredibly accommodating. This was a bachelorette weekend activity and our bride has a broken leg and relies on a wheelchair to get around. Darryl was so patient and helpful with getting our bride in and out of the van and making sure she was comfortable and safe at all stops on the tour and also on the van. I simply cannot say enough good things about our experience, thanks to Darryl! I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour and Crush Beer Wine Tours to anyone visiting the area, and especially recommend Darryl as a driver. He is the best!

    Had only an okay time honestly.

    Our tour guide was super nice and friendly, but I feel like we weren’t told any information about any of the wineries or what the plan was. We went to 3 total wineries and it was ~$135ish with taxes so this tour definitely didn’t feel worth the cost.

    Probably wouldn’t recommend it to other people and tell them to use a different company or go to a different lake and use a different company cause the Sniff & Swirl wasn’t worth it.

    Our host Darryl was truly amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect, including taking extra care of one of our party members who was on crutches. He was an amazing ambassador for those of us who were visiting Canandaigua for the first time, very knowledgeable about the area and the wineries themselves. He was also incredibly personable, charismatic, witty, and kind. He made our wine tour unforgettable and we couldn't be more thankful for the time and effort he put into our tour! We can't wait to come back - and will definitely request him to be our host again!!

    We had a wonderful time at several beautiful wineries. Ron was an excellent host who connected with us, in our 50s/60s, but also with the young folks on the tour that were in their mid 20s. He was knowledgeable about the region and insured that we stayed on time And having fun.

    It was my bachelorette weekend and we did the Canandaigua Wine Tour. It was absolutely fantastic! Bill was THE BEST guide and driver, and if you get the chance please choose him, you will not be disappointed! He took a picture of us at every winery and he even stopped off at a lookout were you could see the lake, and the views were stunning! All of the wineries we visited were fantastic, we bought something at every stop! This is a must do if you are in the area and looking for a great experience!

    What a fantastic day, Ron the Man pick us promptly on time and was took the of us on a private tour of the local wineries. Providing great local knowledge of the area and about lake Canadaigua. Casa Larga and Heron Hill were great hosts. But by far our favourite was Inspire Moore. The hostess provided us with a 5* service making sure our glasses were never empty.

    What a great experience! We were lucky enough to have Deb as our driver and guide and it was such a great experience. She was knowledgeable about the area, very patient with our group (a bachelorette party), and was happy to take lots of photos for us! She even carried our purchases to the van for us!! She was attentive without being intrusive and was really fun to be with! The wine tour itself was great - we had to do zero prep or work and just showed up to have a good time and get chauffeured. Crush does a great job of communicating and makes it easy to enjoy the day. It’s a great way to make sure that your entire group has fun and no one gets stuck being “in charge”. Highly recommend using Crush for a winery or beer tour and TOTALLY recommend Deb!!

    I loved everything about working with Crush Beer & Wine Tours. Russell, the owner, does a fantastic job of organizing the day and setting the itinerary. I set up a tour for my bachelorette party and everyone loved the experience. The all-day tour included four winery stops in the Canandaigua region and lunch at a local restaurant. The price per person was $159 which included four tastings and lunch with a glass of wine and gratuity.

    Chris was our driver and I can not say enough positive things about him. He made sure we were on time and was super friendly. Chris even labeled our wine bottles for us, which made everything super easy. He took photos and made the day very enjoyable. There was no stress and everything ran smoothly.

    Will definitely try to book another tour with Crush again!
