Hi Barbara,
We are glad you appreciated your guide, Jorge. He also informed us that you had a wonderful time on the tour!
We strive to provide guests with a day of pleasure and luxury. No thinking involved on the guests part - just fun!
We are a well trained guided wine tour service. This is why Jorge informed the group that Page Springs Cellars would have a long wait time on that day, being a Friday in peak season. They don’t take reservations. Even so, Jorge honored your wishes in going there, separate from the rest of the group. He is magnificent!
A great deal is involved in providing our guests with an experience of value. Such as the personal charcuteries for each individuals. Pick up and drop off, anywhere from their location in Sedona, in the nicest fleet in town. The roads are treacherous in this region. Drinking and driving is definitely not recommend. Treat yourself to excessive pampering, knowledge and service!
With regards to the tastings being included in the tour, if you had read the details of the tour and all the promotional material we have, including our website, you would have seen that alcohol is not included. That’s why you don’t see other reviews sharing your sentiments. However, we do receive exclusive discounts at some of the wineries.
We do not include the tasting fees for many reasons. One of them being, most people don’t want tastings at all the wineries. So you would be locked into that, even if you don’t want it. We also have pregnant women that take the tours, that aren’t drinking at all. The way we organize it, you get to choose exactly what you want :)
Cheers,
Bliss Team
