Perfect introduction to Alaska
Outstanding. Amazing. Fantastic. There are no superlatives that capture just how good this tour was. Angie was terrific; she asked about my interests and then tailored the tour to them. She was engaging, personable, and informative. I could not have booked a better guide - she knows Alaska like the back of her hand and is so willing to share her insights. When I return to Alaska, she will be the first person I contact. She’s like a sister from another mother.
Response from the operator: OMG!! You are awesome!! I so enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you you!! Thanks for choosing my Tour for one of your Alaskan Adventures!! Cheers .. until next time! Angie🍷

Response from the operator: Awww Thank you sooo much! Omg you guys are a blast!! Thank you for choosing Adventurous Winos for one of your Alaskan Adventures!! Cheers! Angie

FUN PRIVATE ALASKA TOUR
This was the icing on the cake for our last day in Alaska. After being on a cruise & land tour, my mom and I had enough of being on public transportation (ship, train & bus). We wanted a private tour and Angela was the perfect person for this. She is an excellent communicator. We booked the tour the day before, I told her what we wanted & that we wanted to “ease” into our day as we would be taking the “red eye” home. She agreed to meet us at our hotel at 11:15. She was prompt in her communications as well as her arrival time. She brought drinks & snacks. Unfortunately, the wineries were closed as it was a holiday. That wasn’t a big issue for my mom & I. Angela had us “fill out the waiver” -IYKYK and we were off on our adventure. She took us out to Whittier where we went to a beautiful spot with a waterfall (I would have never found that on my own), had lunch then made our way back stopping at various picturesque stops including glaciers & salmon. Our tour included the wildlife conservatory where Angela shared many facts about the wildlife & their history. On our way back, we spotted the Beluga’s (what a treat!). We stopped & just watched them for quite a while. Only had to leave to catch our flight. Angela was so much FUN! I am happy to have spent the day with her & hope to do it again when I make my way back to Alaska! She is a gem 💗💗💗
Response from the operator: Thank you for writing two reviews by mistake!! i’ll take it!! So glad you both had a great time with Adventurous Winos! Cheers! Angie

Better than 5 stars!!
This was the greatest experience! We saw Buluga whales, a black bear, swans, salmon, mountain goats all in the wild! The tour operator Angie was fantastic! She accompanied us on the short walks to point out the wildlife and take photos. The lunch was delicious! The Wilderness Sanctuary has many animals that were rescued from sure death and are living good lives there. The animals have plenty of natural habitat to roam in. Bear, elk, bison, caribou, porcupines, a wolverine, wolves to name a few! The wine tasting was also delicious. Definitely would take this tour again if we are back in this area. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could! Thank you Angie!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage cost?
+
Prices start at $239 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Anchorage is not rushed.
Is Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage?
+
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 Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage?
+
Around 5 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wilderness and Wine Tasting out of Anchorage 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. 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 Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. 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 Anchorage?
+
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.
