We took our first tour with Arcady back in Summer 2005, and our second in Winter 2009. We won't wait so long to come back a third time. Both tours were fun, informative, and-- most important-- very hassle free. Chris and Erika do a great job. They know everybody, and their friendly professionalism makes it easy to relax and just enjoy the day. This is an excellent value for your money. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time!

We stayed at the Arcady B&B and added a hybrid wine/beer tour. Chris our driver and B&B owner, offered us a wealth of information on grapes and wine making while we made our way to the vineyards. We were well taken care of throughout the afternoon we were with him. Because he has built such good relationships with the vineyard owners, I ...

What a great experience!

I have been on a wine tour before, but none like the one that Chris provided with Arcady. I was surprised by my boyfriend with a trip to VA wine country for our one year, and this tour package was part of the weekend. Chris was so knowledgeable about the Wines in VA, not only explaining the unique characteristics, and telling us about the region, ...

Wonderful time, great education
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/20/09
Chris was a pleasure to be with and to learn from. From the history of the wine and vineyard industry in Virginia to the specifics of the particular wineries and wines, he was able to share a ton of knowledge to a couple of complete novices. He was neither too simple nor too technical, and kept us entertained the whole time. A super experience!

great introduction to virginia wines
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/13/09
Chris was very knowledgeable in the many different types of wines that the vineyards in the area producing. I learned a lot from him and look forward to doing a another tour with him. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the wines of virginia. They are fantastic!
The Arcady Vineyard Wine Tour was superb. Chris was our tour guide and he did a fabulous job. He is very knowledgable about wines, which is inevitable given his history in the wine industry. We did not have to worry about a thing. The tastings were set up, and as soon as we walked into each winery, a glass of wine was being poured and we could begin tasting right away.
Also, the cheese plate was delicious.

A Faboulous Tour, Excellent Guide, Exquisite B&B!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/27/09
I highly recommend Arcady Tours and their B&B! There is no better way to enjoy the beautiful wine country of Charlottesville, VA than to stay at the Arcady B&B. Chris and Erika go "all out" to make your stay relaxing, pampered, and enjoyable. The suites are spacious, well kept, luxurious yet affordably priced! The food is ...
I highly recommend booking a tour with Arcady if you are interested in doing a winery tour in the Charlottesville region. It was very well organized and our guide Chris was very knowledgeable about the winery business in general as well as the particular vineyards we were visiting and their wines. The cheese plate (with fruit and chocolates) ...

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our excursion with Arcady. Our guide, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable about the craft of wine making, which was helpful because we are novices! After picking us up at our B&B, he took us through some of the most breathtaking, gorgeous countryside I've ever seen in Virginia to three wineries and one ...
