We really enjoyed our Grapeline winery tour.  Mike Miles was our driver/tour guide and he did an excellent job.  His friendly, knowledgeable stories and commentary were entertaining and informative.  I would highly recommend him to others planning a tour.  --  Susan Maifield, Leslie Schroeder, Bobbie Davis, Dora Steiner

Dear Grapeline,  We thoroughly enjoyed our wine country tour this weekend.  It was a great tour and we will recommend it to others.  What made our tour so special was our tour guide Cindy.  She is a fantastic tour guide and made our tour so special.  She handled every detail, is personable, friendly and goes out of her way to ensure we are having a good time and being taken care of.  As a business owner, I know how important it is to have exceptional staff. Cindy is an exceptional staff person and tour guide for your grapeline business.
Sincerely, Christine Dreher, CCN, CCH

To Whom It May Concern,  I just wanted to comment on my experience I had with the Grapeline service. I took my tour on Fri, May 8th. Our driver was "Ray". This is my second experience riding The Grapeline, and I had a wonderful experience the first time, so I was very excited to return. Overall, the day was so much fun. The key to the fun began with our friendly driver, Ray. From the first phone call in the morning, letting us know he was on his way, to the drop-off at the end of the day...he was wonderful. He brought a smile to all of our faces the entire day. He made us feel special, and really brought the whole group together.  Please, personally, thank Ray, from all of us! I know we all felt the same way about our day. I would highly recommend your service, and especially suggest they ask for RAY!
Sincerely, Shannon Johnson (and mother, Marylynn!)

We took the picnic tour in Temecula yesterday, 4/24 with Joe as our tour guide.  Joe was a knowledgeable and patient guide, especially as the afternoon wore on and some of us became a bit harder to corral back into the bus.  We thought that the tour was worth the cost of the service and the wine tasting.  The lunch was good.  We would recommend this tour to others and would do it again if we could have the opportunity to visit other wineries.  --  Gerrie Flaven

I would just like to comment that I had a very positive experience on this tour. Our host was oustanding, his name was "Joe". My family and I were running a little late, and they were able to wait a few extra minutes and accomodate us. I would just like to say a special thank you to Joe for making our day special! Thanks a bunch!!  - Estee Moreno

Hi Lori,  Everyone really enjoyed the trip yesterday.  Mike and Joe and the wineries all did a great job.  Mike and Joe took care of everything and I just sat back and enjoyed since normally I have to be much more "hands-on" for these types of trips.  Several in our group bought wine particularly at Leonesse because Giovanni did such a good job explaining the wines.  Would have enjoyed a little more info on Wilson Creek wines but we sure enjoyed them and the lunch and it was special meeting Mr. Wilson.  South Coast is a beautiful environment but there wasn't really much in the way of a tour and the tasting was just that without any explanation.  Realize the time is a factor though and really everyone seemed to enjoy the day.  Kudos to all!  Enjoy the Photos!

My wife and I took the Temecula wine tour last Tuesday.  Our guide was Wes and just a quick note to say that he was fantastic.  Obviously a passion for what he does and a very nice man all the way around.  Please pass this on to him.  We think that it is important that he is aware his efforts are appreciated.  Thanks! - Rick Nelson and Jill Nelson

We had a blast and truly enjoyed Mike. He made the trip even more enjoyable. Thank you much.  Steve Deering

You guys do a great job. We want to send along a special thanks to Mike the driver on Saturday's trip.  He did a great job.  I am sure that there was no additional pressure on him having the owners on the trip along with all the rest of us. We had a ball...!  We will be back.  God bless you and good luck.  Robby and Gretchen Robinson

Natasha,  Thank you so much. As I mentioned, I love Gogrape and you all would be greatly surprised of all the business I have sent to you over the past few years. We utilize Gogrape 4 to 6 times a years and I would not have it any other way. Every time we go we bring a different group of people with us as we did this time too.  We are coming to celebrate Mother's Day.  I hope you have a beautiful weekend. Please be sure to thank everyone at Go Grape for their "EXCELLENT" customer service.  -- Your #1 Fan,  Renee and Eben Bratcher,  Yuma, AZ

Hello! The tour was very fun! I really enjoyed all of the wineries and the pourers. Lisa was a fantastic tour guide and tons of fun!!!  Stefanie Sticht

Good Morning!  First and foremost I wanted to take a moment to let you guys know how much of an awesome time my friend and I had on your tour yesterday! Wes was our driver and he was so great! I will definitely recommend your tour and Wes as a driver to future friends and clients looking to take a wine tour. I enjoyed the tour so much that I actually spoke to our event managers (I work for the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina) about suggesting your tour to our convention vip's and guests. With that said, they did ask me for future reference if their was a possibility of your tour picking up guests at our hotel. I did see that you do offer a pick up location here in San Diego for a minimum of 4 people, I was wondering if maybe you could offer something similar to that but offer a pick up for our vip's from the hotel? Once again thank you for the great tour that you offer! I can't wait to have the opportunity to do it again!!!  Have a great day!

Dear John - This last Grapeline trip may have been one of our best yet!  It was a very nice surprise when you popped in on our shuttle and noticed us there as "repeat offenders" and offering us a complimentary bottle of Almond Champaigne!  What a nice treat.  You are very generous and always a joy!

We wanted to also express our pleasure in touring with Mike M.  He is very knowledgeable and even though we have been on a number of these tours, it was, once again, very informational for us and I know for sure, the first timers on the tour!  He is very easy going and was flexible, which we have always loved from the beginning of these tours.  I plan to request Mike M. as our driver the next time we tour which will be very soon. 

I also wanted to mention that when I made my reservation, I had mentioned to Tina that we had been on the tour a number of times and unfortunately, the last trip, the driver/tour person couldn't be as flexible (I know it's not always feasible).  She was very understanding and if I'm not mistaken, she must have designed the tour as we spoke, which was very nice.  Added to our trip was Renzoni and Briar Rose, which were both very pleasant surprises!  I plan to request those again.  And of course, the first two wineries are a given, Leonesse and Wilson are our very favorite wineries!

Again, thank you very much for your generosity!  We always love coming back to the Grapeline Experience!  I can't say enough good things about our experiences with you and all the Grapeline folks!

Dear Grapeline, Thank you!! - the tour was fabulous and well done. Sharleen was a great and knowledgeable guide and Dave our driver was very accommodating. The wineries were very friendly and receptive. I certainly got a great perspective on the Temecula wine country being new to the area. This will greatly assist me in discussing the wineries with future guests and wedding requests.

October 3, 2008
Just took my third Grapeline tour and I am never disappointed.  Whenever friends come from out of town I will always suggest the Wine tour.  Mike, the driver, was charming and informative.  The wineries we visited provided a variety from previous tours.  All in all it was a great day and something well worth the price.  I'm anxious to get the chance to try some of your other locations at a future date.  Thank you again  --  Linda Nelson

September 30, 2008
Keep Wes happy,  he kept us happy!!!!  Great asset to your business.  Friendly knowledgeable and enjoyable.  His presence in escorting us into the winery really opened up some doors for us.  Made our anniversary very enjoyable.  Lunch @ Wilson Creek was GREAT!!!!! Thank you -- Chad & Amy Gunn

September 29, 2008
My husband and I would like to thank you very much for a wonderful relaxing time that we had on the Grapevine tour. We especially enjoyed Wes as our tour guide and would request him personally next time we are in Temecula.
You are very lucky to have Wes on your team, he was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with all of our needs.  We both look forward to our next wine trip!  Thank you, -- Suzanne and Paul Spitsen

Dear Staff at Temecula wine tour, We had such a great time on our wine tour, it was wonderful and learning at the same time. Our buss driver Wes, was the best! If we ever get back to California again we will definitly do another of your wine tours. You have a great service and treat people extremely well.  We had a fun day and will always remember our Temecula wine tour on our California vacation. We will also let all our friends know so they may have the same great expirence we did. Thanks again, --  Janet Agnew ( Ottawa,Ont Canada)

We had a great time on the Grapeline tour.  (Andrew was a great host).  We had friends visiting from Scotland who had just gotten married and they really enjoyed the tour (this was their first wine tasting experience).  I've been to Temecula many times over the past several years and I must say I learned a great deal at the wineries. It's not just having someone to drive you around, you really do get a chance to speak with the winemaker or owner and see how the operation works.  Thanks so much.  Regards, -- Josephine Cassidy

This was our second time doing the tour and we had another GREAT experience. Our driver/tour guide was named Ray, and he was absolutly fabulous. He was so nice, fun, and informative. He was the best. He made our experience so wonderful. We will be on this tour again next time we come to Temecula. Thank you again!  --  Danielle Holt

August 22, 2008
We had a wonderful time, I am already telling my family and friends. I  want to get a group together possibly 12 to fill up the bus!!!!  The day was fun, the lunch was good, and of course the wine was fantastic. I have found a favorite!  Our tour guide (Wes)  was very knowledgeable and entertaining. In addition, the tour was relaxing and he made us feel comfortable and relaxed.  Thank you for making that day special.  We will definitely return to the Grapeline  --  Rolanda Lane

August 20, 2008
We had a GREAT time. Ray was amazing (& we even had a chance to meet Wes who was also great).  I will definitely come back again & look forward to spending the afternoon with Ray!

August 16, 2008
My fiance and I are repeat customers of your tours.  We always have a terrific time with Dave Curtis as our tour guide.  We have been on many tours of different varieties and he is, in our opinion, absolutely the best  tour guide.  He is very knowledgeable and makes sure that everyone on the shuttle has a great time.  We will definitely go on another wine tour.  Thank you very much.  -- Ali and Mayra

June 8, 2008
I just want to let Grapeline know that the wine tour adventure was an amazing experience.   What made this tour even more special was Mike, he was very attentive, made sure that the bottles & wine glasses were wrapped, named & put safely into a box.   He made sure that everybody was comfortable, and was right there if we had any questions.    Also, he got us to the tours safely and safely back to the Ramada Inn.  

I would highly recommend Grapeline to any of my friends, what made the trip was working with people like you guys at Grapeline.   Thank you very much!  Sincerely, -- Cindy Sueoka

June 7, 2008
Hi!  I just wanted to take a minute to say what a wonderful time we had on our wine tour!  It was our first ever wine tour, and it was both fun and educational.  Our tour guide Wes was great!  He made sure that our experience in Temecula was a great one.   I will recommend the Grapeline and Wes to anyone who is ready for fun, food, and fine wine.   Thanks so much! -- Lydia and Victor

June 2, 2008
We had a wonderful experience yesterday on The Grapline wine tour.  It was our one year wedding anniversary and I couldn't  imagine spending it any other way.  It was sooo much fun and very relaxing!  Wes was absolutely the best tour guide!  He was very knowledgeable and just a really nice & genuine person to be around.  He went out of his way to make sure that we all were having fun.  Thank you for a great time! -- Candace & Jason Wilmoth

May 27, 2008
My husband and I had the most marvelous time.  The weather was beautiful and our guide was stupendous.  Wes could not have been more accommodating and his wine knowledge was so helpful.  We will most definitely take the tour again and as I told Wes, we just might have to charter the whole bus this time.  Please give Wes our best and see you soon (we hope).  Sincerely, Jules Zalar.

Kim, John, Emily... I don't know how to thank you enough for such a wonderful time we all had this past Sunday with our Civitan fundraiser.  The day could not have been better!  Each winery was so thoughtful and helpful in all that we did, and I've never had two personal tours in one day!  Awesome!!  The group really liked that.  Mike, our driver, did a great job.   The group has responded to me by telling me that they had a great day.  We will make this an annual event with each year getting bigger and better!  And our group raised over $500 towards a children's organization.  (It's easy to milk money out of a bunch of wino's at the end of the day...) anyway... I know you three pulled a magical trick out of your bag to get us the larger shuttle and keep us all together, and I appreciate that.  You all really went to bat for us....................thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   --  Greg

May 25, 2008
We had a wonderful time.  This is our 3rd time with Grapeline and each time we take the wine tasting tour we have a " blast."  Cindy is very nice, professional and very helpful.  She is "great" and " wonderful".  We are looking forward to our next trip to Temecula and Grapeline tours.  Until next time  -- Ramon Joson and Mark Retland

May 25, 2008
We had a really great time.   If it wasn't for Lonni, I think we would've been bored in the bus.  She was the best tour guide person I've ever had.   Thank you very much Lonni!  -- Mike and Linda Morgenfruh

May 24, 2008
My friends and I took your tour for the first time on Saturday, May 24.   We had a wonderful time.   Mike, our driver, was very cool, informative and helpful.   We learned a lot about wine and had a great time visiting Temecula.   Thanks for the memories! --  Brandi Zoellner

May 22, 2008
I really had a great time!!!!!  Wes was our driver and he was extremely helpful, friendly and always with a great attitude and sense of humor.   This was my second wine tasting experince.  My first one was in Napa Valley, but far, this was the best one between the two.  The winery staff in this area was friendlier and more courteous, specially at Leonesse, Bella Vista and Longshadow Ranch.  I also enjoyed Wes pointing out other wineries and giving additional information about them.  I highly recommend this trip to anyone that comes to this area and wants to have a good time.  --  Rosangela Furtado  (Kissimmee, Florida)

Hello, my daughter and I are from Minnesota and were visiting San Diego from May 10-14, 2008.  We went on the Temecula wine tour on May 13.  Our driver was Wes.  We just want you to know what a great time we had and that Wes was a wonderful driver!  Thanks for the special day!!! --  Diane Pierson and Sara Laube

"I experienced my first Grapeline Wine Tour yesterday!  I can't believe I've lived here since 1990 and have never done this before.  Our driver was Ray and he was hilarious, punctual, and personable!  Ray was a treat to have and the experience was fabulous.  Thank you so much for offering this extraordinary service with amazing drivers!  I can't wait to do this again!"

"My husband and I took your Grapeline Picnic Tour on Tuesday, November 6 and the experience was nothing less than first class.  I made our reservations on line and your web site was user friendly and to the point.  I contacted Grapeline Tours on Monday to confirm the reservation and to ask a couple of questions, and the customer service person was professional, kind, and very helpful.  I know that might seem like an odd compliment, but this, more oftentimes, has become a rarity; however, not with Grapeline Tours.  Our driver was Wes, and he was just wonderful.  His knowledge of the Temecula Vineyards and Wineries was informative and his presentation completely enjoyable.  His service at each stop as well as assisting in providing our picnic lunch was impeccable.  We will recommend your services and Grapeline Tours to any and all who visit the Temecula Wineries.  Thank you so much for a truly amazing experience.  Have a happy and blessed day." --- Maryann Sled

"I just wanted to thank you very much for putting together such an amazing tour for us.  We had an absolute blast, and I will highly recommend the Grapeline to everyone I know.  Also, our guide Stephanie was THE BEST!!!  She made everything run so smoothly, and took care of everything so we could just enjoy.  She was great, and I wanted you to know what a great job she did.  Our driver Scott was great too!  Thanks again, and I can't wait to do this again!"  --- Heather Peterson

"I just wanted to take a moment and comment on the Superior customer service by our guide for the tour I took on 10/20.  Cindy was our guide, and I've used the grapeline in the past and received GREAT customer service.  Cindy went above and beyond and really went out of her way to make sure we had the best time.  She was a great tour guide and really provided excellent customer service.  The trip was a great one. I'll definitely refer my friends to you guys.  Thanks for a great day!"  --- Michelle Matthews, AGSS Project Technician

"Our group of 10 people were very pleased with everything.  What a GREAT job that you and your team did in preparing the itinerary, arranging the stops and selecting a great place for lunch.  Our driver, David, was pleasant and very concerned that everything was going well.  Once again I can't thank you enough for helping to make my wife's 60th birthday celebration a great affaire." --- Larry Steneck

 "Our tour guide, MIKE M., picked us up at Embassy Suites and I just wanted to say HE made our trip and everyone elses trip VERY FUN and EXCITING.....He explained to us lots of information about the wineries and made our trip really enjoyable.....In the future I will go back to Temecula with LOTS of our friends and we will return to your tour and hopefully we can have the same tour guide, MIKE." --- Rick Libed

"I had a terrific time on the tour. Our driver and our host were "the pick of the mill." They were fun, knowledgeable, flexible, and very helpful. I can't wait to come again." ---Anita Marzette

"We had an absolute blast. JP was the best. He was helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks for creating such a fun outing for us to get out of the office and let our hair down a little. Our favorite was Wilson Creek Winery. It was such a nice touch for the owners to come out and personally do the tasting. I will remember it always." -Linda Mounts 

"We had a great time - it made for a very special birthday! Your staff is unbelievable - this is our third trip with Grapeline and we always have a fantastic time!" - Bruce & Melissa Craig

"We had a great experience! Wes, our driver, was terrific. We really enjoyed being with him and the other passengers. I would recommend this tour to any and everyone.

What more can I say...you have a great product/service to offer." -Paige and Chuck Nanz.
