enjoyed the trip. just that I think the meet up place can be better arranged.Steve was great and accommodating. And so is Sam when we were figuring out the meetup place due to some complication of the pre-race marathon that happened earlier.

Had an amazing wine tour on Saturday. Sommelier Sam was knowledgeable, engaging, informative and friendly. There was enough time at each winery to learn, explore, and enjoy. The bus was clean and in good repair. The bus driver was amazing and a great driver. I look forward to more tours in 2025. I highly recommend this company.

Touring Tuscany was my first experience with Crush Wine Experiences and it definitely will not be my last! Everything about the trip was perfect--the hotels, the tours, the wineries, the tour and city guides, and the meals included. Sam was the perfect host. He was always available to answer questions and offer insights. Marco, our tour guide, provided a wealth of historic and social information during the trip.

My wife and I had a great experience traveling to Italy on a wine tour with Crush Wine Experiences. The trip was well organized and we had a great sampling of Italys history, farms and vineyards. We had free time in each area we visited to check out the culture and shops.We had a great group and made some new friends.This intimate tour is definitely a highlight of our travel experience this year.

It was a fantastic trip. Sam and Marco were great hosts and guides. The small group format allowed us to get to know our fellow travelers and to make new friends. The local guides were excellent and the selected wineries were both welcoming and very good. I've been on other tours with other outfits and this one stands above the others as far as itinerary, value and organization. I highly recommend Crush Wine Experiences whether you travel alone, as a couple or with your friends.

Sam did an incredible job of organizing and leading this trip. We were able to experience fantastic food & wines from wonderful vineyards, farms, and restaurants. We visited multiple localities with knowledgeable guides that provided interesting insights. We learned so much about wines, art, the local culture and history. It was so much fun that we have already booked another trip next year.

Each stop offered something unique—whether it was the variety of wines, beautiful vineyard views, or the relaxed atmosphere.As someone who loves discovering new places and meeting new people, this tour hit all the right notes! 🥂 Made some great new friends and enjoyed every sip. Perfect for a fun weekend escape from the city!Highly recommend if you're looking to unwind, explore, and, of course, enjoy some fantastic wine! 👏🏽🍷

Great experience! Convenient pickup/drop-off location in Midtown Manhattan and a good time frame (9:00-18:00). The wineries were high quality, and a light lunch was included. Sam, our guide, has years of experience in the industry, and the group had a nice mix of interesting people.A few years ago when I took this tour, a wine glass souvenir was included, along with a chocolate and cheese. I would love to visit three wineries if possible next time. My one-star deduction is for room for improvement in the future. I will join tours again definitely.

Got some great wines I'm excited to open and taste at the first vineyard we attended (forgot the name), but it was a full bodied Chardonnay that's absolutely divine. Great bang for your buck. Wish we could've visited a third vinyard. Norfolk is also absolutely beautiful

Been going for 7 years. Still a beautiful venue. Lived in Port Jeff for 6 of those years. Were visiting friends in Bellport so it was an easy ride. Was a little bit disappointed that there were much fewer single Adirondack chairs than before. Also better path lighting would be a positive addition for people with walking handicaps.Very sorry to see that original 7 concerts were pared down to 4.

The Hudson Valley wine tasting trip was terrific. The whole trip was well curated and seamless start to finish. We went to two wineries and one big farm stand. The luxury tour bus was very clean and comfortable with phone chargers and a bathroom. The tour guide was the owner of the Crush Wine and explained the wine tasting at every winery. At each winery, we had a formal tasting and then had some free time to walk around and explore. Met great people, learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommended.

Beautiful venue, tent surrounded by vineyard. Since they encourage wine and food consumption, some sort of small stand or table every 2-3 seats would help. Volume could be a tad lower and parking attendants should have been employed to avoid the boondoggle of parking in an open field.

Great day trip to two Long Island vineyards. Our tour guide and driver were very nice. They provided water bottles to us. We visited RGNY which i loved. Wish we had more time there. The second one was McCall Wines where we had lunch and a wine tasting. The lunch was delicious: a turkey sandwich with orange marmalade and a caprese sandwich. We were also given kettle chips from North Folk chips. At the end, the tour stops for about 20 minutes at a farmers market where you can buy local produce.The only thing i would say is, i wish we had more time at each vineyard. After the tastings, we only had about 30 minutes on our own. Overall, a great experience.

I absolutely loved this event! My friends and I had a great time, the fact that we didn't have to plan anything, all we had to do was just choose a date and show up made this a perfect event. Our Somelier Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly. His explanations for each selection was easy to understand not overly complicated and varied from dry, sweet and semi sweet. The lunch provided were standard fresh sandwiches and chips which were provided from the surrounding farmers markets were tasty. I would definitely sign up for this event again.

Crush Wine Experiences provides an excellent way to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city with a luxurious bus ride to North Shore Wineries. We had a light lunch, then enjoyed various samplings which include an education by our entertaining sommelier. Everyone was delightful, plus we made new friends. Two wineries, lunch, and then the farmers market. All in all, it was certainly one of the highlights of my summer. I'm sure to participate in other excursions.

Did the Day Trip to Wine Country - Long Island tour with Sam and had a great time! He is an actual sommelier that could talk about the wines, answer questions about the grapes and varietals and blend of the wines, and he made sure everyone had a good time. The confirmation emails clearly state that groups may not be able to be seated together as the seating at the vineyards is open seating but he made a concerted effort to keep the larger groups together which was a nice touch. It’s a great day of wine and food!

I've visited the Long Island wineries several times, and this experience was seamless from start to finish. Parish, our driver, drove us to and from the wineries safely (thank you!). As for the owner, Sam, not only prioritized our safety (thanks for keeping us hydrated) but also provided an educational and delightful experience for our senses. Our noses and taste buds were thoroughly engaged. Lastly, we stopped at Breimere Farms!🍰🍓🍒🍑🍎🫐🍉🌽🫒🥒🥬🥧. All that to say, I highly recommend Crush Wine XP for your next winery experience.🍷🌿👃👅

Both wineries were fun, especially the free time to explore on our own. Also, the proportion of wine for tasting was more than usual, which was great to truly experience the taste. lIt was a stress-free day that was fun and relaxing. We also enjoyed the farm stand.

Loved this NY wine excursion to the Hudson Valley. I especially enjoyed the element of surprise at not knowing what wineries we would be visiting.Our ride to the HV and back was smooth, easy and extremely professional. Sam Kimball, also a wine shop owner in the North Fork, toured us through three unique experiences: two wineries and a lovely orchard and market.We were introduced to the local grapes used to make a variety of delicious wines upstate…I have a new appreciation for them all and especially enjoyed Seyval Blanc.We tasted a bone dry version at winery number 1 and an off dry blend of Seyval and Vignole at winery 2. It was great to be able to compare the two.Highly recommend the experience!

My friends and I had a great time, exploring wine country on the North Fork of Long Island. Our sommelier was charming, knowledgeable, and not at all pretentious. If I had one wish, it would be to have a little bit more time at the first winery, perhaps to extend the tour by adding a third winery. Otherwise, no complaints at all. It was well worth the time and the money.

My wife and I recently took the Wine Tour with Sam to Piedmont. The tour completely exceeded all our expectations. The coordination of all the buses to the dinners to the wineries were spot on. We also never felt rushed and had times where we could do our own exploring. Because the tour is small, we were about to visit locations and have our own private experiences. You cannot get this sort of VIP feel from a large tour. Nor would you be able to visit the locations by booking them yourself. Sam and his Italian guide Alice allows made you feel comfortable and welcomed. The cost was very reasonable considering the level of service, hotels, and locations visited. An excellent value all around. I urge you to take one of Sam's tours. His professionalism, knowledge of wines and the regions are unparalleled. Grazie!

One small suggestion, have more of each category of sandwiches, so you dont run out before everyone gets to choose. Quite a few people wanted turkey, but the caterer didnt give enough.Great day all in all!! Cant wait to plan Hudson next year!

I thought I knew a thing or three about Italy, Italian food and Italian wine. And there was a trip to Sicily in March this year - 2023. Was my arrogance exposed: I have learned that I did not know much about Italy after all. It was on this trip that I have learned that Italy as a country is younger than the USA, that Sicilian mafia had started as a citizens protection organization, and only in the last 100 years evolved into a criminal business, that Mama Aetna can be capricious, that Sicily -dare I say- is not really Italy! And wines of course, and winemakers: it was during that trip that I have developed an appreciation for Catarratto and Carricante (though I must admit, that I cannot find this special buket of tastes here in the US; I guess the magic of hot Sicilian sun is missing...). Great trip, great experiences for all the senses, and more.

Wonderful experience! The wines and lunch was well put together. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We even got to meet the owner of one of the wineries. I would highly recommend taking this tour!

I love this venue and have attended previous performances in the past such as Peter White with Vincent Ingala and Vincent Ingala with Lindsey Webster. It is such a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. Lindsey Webster alone was fantastic. She has such a beautiful yet powerful voice. She is also very personable & interacts very well with the audience in such an intimate setting. Looking forward to attend more shows in the future, even though it is a bit of a drive from Queens, NY.
