Private Wine, Beer & Cider Tasting Tour: Victoria, BC

Three local producers in one day, chosen to match what you actually want to drink.

A private, full-day tasting tour in Victoria where you sample award-winning wines, spirits, beers and ciders at three local producers selected based on your drink preferences. A guide leads you through tastings at each stop (cider, beer flights and guided wine tastings) with transportation included and plenty of time to relax between venues.

The experience

The tour runs four to five hours and hits three producers, but which ones depends on you. Before the day starts, you tell the guide what you're drawn to (whether that's a particular style of wine, craft beer, cider or spirits), and they build the stops around that. Church & State Wines is one anchor, but the other two shift based on what's open and what you want to taste. This means you're not following a fixed route. You're getting a tour built for your palate.

Each stop includes a tasting: a cider flight at one venue, a beer flight at another, and a guided wine tasting at a third. The guide walks you through what you're tasting at each one. Between stops, there's time to sit with the views and let the tastes settle. Food is available throughout the day if you want it (the operator notes there are plenty of options), so you can eat when you're ready, not on a schedule.

Transportation is included, which means you're not driving between producers or figuring out how to get there. The guide handles the route and the timing. You show up, taste, and move on without the logistics. The minimum age is 19.

What’s included

• Private transportation between the three producers.
• tasting fees at each stop.
• a guide who leads you through the tastings and explains what you're tasting.

Is this one for you?The four- to five-hour commitment leaves room for other activities in Victoria on the same day, but not for a full second outing. If you want to taste multiple local producers without driving or planning the route yourself, the private format means the stops are chosen around what you actually drink, not a fixed itinerary everyone follows.

Top questions

What does a wine tasting at Church & State Wines actually involve?

Church & State Wines offers a guided tasting where the guide walks you through local wines, explaining what you're tasting and why. The exact wines change based on what's available and what you're interested in.

Can I choose which producers I visit, or is the route fixed?

The three stops are selected based on your drink preferences and what's available on the day you book. You tell the guide what you like (whether that's wine, beer, cider or spirits), and the tour is built around that, so it's not the same route for everyone.

Is food included, or do I need to bring money for lunch?

Food is not included in the tour price, but plenty of food options are available at and near the venues throughout the day. You can eat when you want, and the guide can point you toward places nearby.

How much time do you spend at each tasting stop?

The tour runs four to five hours total across three producers, with time built in to relax and enjoy the views between stops. The exact breakdown depends on which venues you visit and how long you want to linger at each one.

Do I need to arrange my own way to get there, or is pickup included?

Private transportation is included, so the guide picks you up and handles all the driving between stops. You don't need to arrange a car or figure out directions.
