What Our Clients Say
“Wow! The day was stunning. The chosen wineries were superb and their wine experts spent a great deal of time with our group – showing us around and describing their wines. Uncorked clearly has a great relationship with the Okanagan wineries and that makes a big difference to a day out. [Our guide] was knowledgeable and entertaining and has lived in the region for years – a real “go to” source for information. Highly recommend taking a tour.”
