The bus was comfortable and our driver Butch was great at his job! Dropped us right off at the door at every winery, took our pictures when we asked and was very attentive when we came out of a winery and picked us right back up at the door. The cheese and crackers, grapes and water was also an added bonus we weren't expecting, so Thank you for that! We loved everything about SI Tours!

We LOVED Blue Sky, the atmosphere there is perfect and the people that work there are very knowledgeable about the wine. We love the pizza at Blue Sky and the bread and Olive Oil was great too. We also enjoyed Rustle Hill. We've never been here before and we really liked the atmosphere here as well. A lot of the wines were sold out, which was disappointing, but I enjoyed the glass of wine I did have.

Hedman was my least favorite. It was small and unfinished and the wine was not good.

Von Jakob and Orlandini were the other two we went to and they were lovely as well.

Our driver was prompt and friendly. He was very professional and I felt very at ease.

I liked Blue Sky because it seemed more like the wineries I ve been to in the past. I also like Von Jacob. I did not like Hedmunds because it seemed like we were in someone's basement.

I loved that you were able to pick us up at our house. Everything was great.

Loved Star View. Loved the wines and the atmosphere. Entertainment was good as well.

Rustle Hill was nice, but the wines were not that appealing to our group and the food took forever. One of the couples did not even get there food and had to cancel their order cause it took so long. We won't worry about going there next time.

Everything was nice.

I liked Rustle Hill the best, even though they lost our lunch order. I thought Owl Creek had the best wine.

I can't say that I disliked any of the wineries. I thought Orlandini's was small and would like to see them expand, but they have excellent wine.

It was a very pleasant day. You both were very accommodating and thourough. All who traveled with us were impressed and pleased. I wish we had chosen NOT to include dinner in our trip and had visited another winery instead, but that was our choice and no reflection on your service. The wine glasses, cheese/crackers were a great touch! Thank you!!

Loved Blue Sky - could have spent the whole day there.

Very friendly and accommodating! The fruit and cheese was a nice touch, too.

I liked all of the wineries except for Von Jakob. I thought it was small, filthy, and not well enough staffed. I also felt Blue Skye, although lovely, was horribly understaffed as well, especially for the size of the crowd that was there. I never did get to sample any wine there at all! What a disappointment to go there and not sample.

Everything!! Enjoyed sitting back and chatting with my friends while someone else did the driving!!

Liked Blue Sky, it was a beautiful vineyard! Von Jakob was my least fav because it was small and hard to due tasting! They were all good though!!

Prompt arrival, boxes for wine, snack, and information about winery before entering each one.

My favorite was Blue Sky and my least favorite was Orlandini. I enjoyed my meal at Rustle Hill.

We love Charlie! We had SO much fun, we will be doing this trip twice a year! :)

I loved them all with the exception of Blue Sky. Their wines weren't that great. We were a big fan of all of the Vignoles white wines.

Thanks again Charlie!!!

Clean, well maintained bus. Great driver, consistantly on time.

Visited Starview the the WONDERFUL Pretty In Pink Party. Starview is just lovely.

The bus was very nice and the cheese and crackers were an added bonus on the wine tour. Our driver Charlie was very polite and pleasant.

We had a very enjoyable bachelorette party and would love to plan another wine tour in the future to check out the other wineries we missed. We have great memories from our trip that will last a lifetime. Thanks!

We had a great time! The bus was awesome and Charlie was great, very friendly and helpful. I really liked that we could listen to our i-pod on the bus and that we were able to bring a cooler. Oh, and the snacks that were provided were wonderful! I would absolutely recommend your company! Thanks so much for everything!

I think Blue Sky was my favorite. I enjoyed thier wines the best and thier property is beautiful! Alto was my next favorite, agian in terms of wine and I also enjoyed thier outdoor, screened-in, seating area.

Comfortable, complimentary cheese and crackers, informative and willing to make stops on a whim, ipod hookup.

Liked blue sky the best because it was the largest, clean and bright, had plenty of seating.

I had a great time on the trip. My sister planned it for my bachellorette party. The wineries were beautiful, especially Blue Skies. It was very nice to travel and enjoy the wineries without having to worry about a DD or trying to find all the places. The bus was wonderful and I loved that we were picked up and dropped off at the hotel. The snacks provided at one of the stops was a nice surprise and very tasty. I had a great time and plan to use your services again in the future.

The only thing I would have changed was that we ran out of time for the final winery. It would have been nice to have planned accordingly at the beginning or to have extended time for the trip included. I felt that the time spent at each winery was sufficient, yet we ran out of time at the end. It might have felt a little rushed if we had left any of the other wineries any sooner. But overall I really enjoyed the trip.

My favorites were Blue Skies and Alto(?) It has been awhile and I am trying to remember the names. I loved the atmosphere of these two places and their wines were very good. I am a big fan of the outdoors and these places really incorporated their outdoor space. The other place we stopped at (I can't remember the name) was okay. The wines were very good and they had some unique stuff (like the Sangria and the Winerita), but I wasn't as wowed by the service or atmosphere at this place. But the loft area was nice to get a pitcher and socialize for a little while.

The friendly, relaxed way in which guests were treated.

I liked all of them except Walker's -- but it was dark by the time we got there and difficult to see. . . would like to go back sometime when it's light outside. The wineries that provided food and entertainment were my favorites.

I had two most favorites: Pomona because of the friendliness of the staff and the instructions and information they provided regarding their wines -- it was a GREAT way to begin the tour; and von Jakob (had previously visited the older one, and I like them both) -- food and entertainment at the new one were great! Was most helpful that the weather was perfectly gorgeous.
Star View (where the wedding was going on?) was beautiful, too. . .

The one I liked the least was where one of the servers was so very un-helpful; also, they were out of one variety of wine - that everyone was asking for -- naturally! ;)

Finally, many, many thanks to you and Jan for the long, long day you both put in so that 10 of us could have such a glorious time!!

Great vehicle and very accommadating to us all!

I can't remember them all. Blue Sky and Pomona were our favorite. Nice place and very friendly.

Your very friendly and informal "hosting" was very nice. The cheese and crackers and grapes were a nice touch before lunch. It was evident you were eager to meet our needs, and you did so very well. The relaxed atmosphere was wonderful! Looking back on it, it was great to go to the Pomona Winery first as they provided a great introduction and educational experience.

We really liked starting with the Pomona Winery....their "pourer" was by far the nicest and most knowledgeable person who talked to us all day. We also really enjoyed the time spent at Blue Sky; they had my favorite Chardonnay wine!
The lunch at Von Jakob was fabulous for the price; that was a great stop as well.

The only winery we did not like was the Star View (Star Light ??) for the same reason our fellow passengers didn't like it.......an extremely rude bartender. He had no business in a job serving the public; he was so surly. Please let that management know our comments!

Clean, up to date

I loved everything... perhaps have a map available that points out where we were/other spots we were visiting.

I loved Blue Sky the best. It was beautiful setting and the wine was delicious!

Everything! Had a great time, keep up the good work!

Alto Vineyards is always my favorite because I like their wine best. Had never visited Rustle Hill before, but liked it a lot also. Some of the newer wineries (StarView, Blue Sky) have very nice buildings and scenery, but their wines could use a little work.

The timeliness of the team to arrive at the pickup point and understanding as we waited for members of our tour who were delayed. The cleanliness of the bus and a willingness to do whatever we asked to make us comfortable.

Charlie and Jan and their team are great people with a solid understanding of what's important to their customers. They were very accommodating and focused on our comfort. We would certainly consider using their services again.

We had a designated driver! This was an easy way to round up 11 women.

Von Jakob and Alto. The last winery [Walker's Bluff] was a good ending (we played on the blow up toys) but not a good place for testing till they are actually up and running.

[We liked] that we got picked up and taken to any spot on the wine trail. It was nice and very convienient. I thought [the service] was all excellent

I knew nothing about southern IL when booking this trip, and really everything was great and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Overall the experience was wonderful. Charlie was super accommodating and and likable.

I enjoyed Rustle Hill and Blue Sky. One of the pourers at Starview was very rude to us, which ruined the experience.

Everything!! The day was wonderful! All of the women truly enjoyed the day. Our driver was so nice and he seemed to enjoy us too.

This is possibly the most enjoyable outing I can go on. I have been twice and have another one booked for the Fall. I am sure that one won't be my last either.

My favorite wineries are Blue Sky, Von Jacob new one, and Russell Hill.

Owners were friendly and went out of their way to see that we got to see everything on our tour that we requested. Bus was clean and pretty. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a tour of the area. Will definitely use them on future trips.

We were on the Logan tour and Jan and Charlie, thank you so much. Had a great time and even came away with a business venture idea. Please keep my email and lets stay in touch.

"This is the nicest bus we have been on and we've been on a lot"

"Thanks so much for letting us get crazy! We had a blast and were safely gotten back home!" 

"Office lunch party. Food was good, company was great, transportation was outstanding!"

"Beautiful wedding! And a safe trip to and from the great reception site." 

"300 bikes and 1 bus on a charity poker run. The bus won!!!" 

"We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed ourselves on the ride home! Laughing and singing to Mamma Mia and Grease!" 

"The owners were very friendly. I loved the bus. It was so pretty inside, made us feel special. They were on time & took us to exact spots we needed to be. Thank you for making Chris's homecoming more special." 

"We were able to enjoy the wine trail safely. And cheese, crackers, and grapes to boot!"

"Very prompt, very polite. Enjoyed the cheeseball & crackers."

"Services are great. Very nice!"

"I was on the wine trail with you as our driver on August 22 and would just like you to know that it was so much fun! We enjoyed every minute of it! Now I am in charge of getting you for another Shawnee Hills Wine Trail adventure! My husband's family really wants to go since we had so many good things to say about everything! If the date that we have requested doesn't work we are pretty flexible. Thanks again for such a great time and hope to see you again soon!"

"Arrival was prompt. Driver was fantastic. He took such great care of us. It was so comfortable. Loved it."

"Prompt. Courteous. Great birthday service. Nice man. Had lots of fun."

"Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Saturday’s trip.  The bus was one of the nicest we’ve ever used. Clean, great TV and great sound system.  The planning efforts you put into the day were great.  It is very nice to show up and the wineries were actually expecting us!  When I forgot the plates, no problem, you were there with your picnic basket to save the day.  The flexibility was a huge plus too.  I could go on and on, but I’d rather just recommend you to friends."

"Thank you so much for the FUN bus tour yesterday. I especially enjoyed going to Star View."

"It was a fun, relaxing way to spend the day with good friends and great hosts!"
