    Visit two top vineyards in Charlottesville on this private tour, featuring wine tastings and a culinary experience at each location.

    Jeremiah designed an ideal food and wine tour for my family of six, including visits to three specific vineyards. He arranged for our driver, Minette, to pick us up and drop us off at our rental house, making it a hassle-free experience. Minette was an excellent driver with a friendly and cheerful personality, which added to our enjoyment. The Infinity SUV provided plenty of space for all six of us to ride comfortably. Ole Crow Tours was incredibly accommodating, even planning a stop at our house so we could let our dog out briefly before continuing the tour. I strongly recommend this company for anyone wanting a private, tailored winery experience in the Charlottesville area.535JanetK
