Best wishes with your business
After completing the Wine Sales Certificate program from OK College, I recently toured wineries in Kelowna with Adriane from Carefree Wine Tours. If you’re looking for a sate, enjoyable, custom-made wine tour this is for you! Carefree wine Tours specializes in tours designed to meet individual expectations. Whether you enjoy reds, whites, large or small-bodied wines or those with a bubbly character, each tour caters to the folks on that tour. Adriane also pays attention to whether you enjoy large or small boutique wineries. Her knowledge of Okanagan wineries is excellent and she has a wicked sense of humour! I highly recommend Carefree Wine Tours to International tourists as well as locals.
My husband and I had a private wine tour of the West Kelowna region on 8 July 2020. We highly recommend Adriane as she is extremely knowledgeable, and went out of her way to provide a safe, fun and interesting day for us. Thank you Adriane for your attention to detail and adding in the extra winery so that we could experience that very special Pinot Noir!
