Great tour
Excellent tour and Henry our guide was very informative. Good range of wines to try at 3 very different wineries. Lunch was very tasty and perfectly adequate in portion size.

Very good...so close to being awesome!
Well worth it...the only negative was it would have been great to have been able to exit the bus and take pictures at the Malahat viewpoints.
via Viator
Driver/Guide was very...
Driver/Guide was very knowledgeable. Beautiful scenery with narrative while driving. Wineries were good choices.

Wonderful!
Wonderful wine tasting at 3 different wineries. Scott, our driver, was excellent! Would definitely recommend!
via Viator
Very good experience
The wineries we visited were all very good. We were disappointed in the snack at Unsworth. The snack was small and should have been prepared for each 2 person group. Sharing food with people you don’t know is uncomfortable! The girl doing the talk at this winery was not great either. Blue Grouse was great and the lady/owner at Cherry Point was incredible!! The driver did a great job but should possibly have a mike so when talking on the bus all can hear. Overall a great experience.

Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver Island.
How much does Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver Island usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver Island is not rushed.
Is Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vancouver Island, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver Island can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver Island and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver Island within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver Island?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver Island experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Victoria Guided Food and History Tour, Victoria Whale and Wildlife Cruise, Victoria Half-Day Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver Island?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver Island?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
