Testimonials
We had an AMAZING time on our wine tour! We did the wagon tour, stopped at 3 wineries, and had a surprisingly good lunch provided for us! Even the non wine drinkers in our group ended up buying a bottle.
10 gold stars to our wagon driver and personal photographer Dan! He went above and beyond for us, even staying in contact with us after the tour when we had a mishap with some of our souvenir glasses and making sure our problem was fixed.
Overall, we were all extremely happy with the entire day, and hope to come back again! Of course we will be requesting Dan!
Alyssa F. My friend and I did the wagon tour and had the best time! Arv picked us up in a shuttle and took us to the wagon/first winery. We went to Hickory Creek, Red Top, and Lemon Creek and all were so fun with great wines! We had lunch at Red Top (catered from an external place, I need to ask the name of it) and it was delicious. Our wagon driver, Tony, was so nice and helpful the whole time and I can't say enough good things about Deb (her and her husband own the company). She personally drove us back from the last stop when the driver wasn't able to make it back in time. I would definitely book with them again when I come back!
Sheetal G. Tony and LJ were awesome!! Would highly recommend doing wine tours through them 😊
Amanda T. Fruitful Vine is the very best wine tour!!! Deb and Dan make your day so relaxing and they add a personalized touch to every moment. We did the wine-o wagon and couldn’t have asked for a better time. Thank you Deb and Dan! We will be back again!!!!!
Danielle G. Took my mother on a birthday surprise and did the Vino Coach! Dan was the absolute best! He went above and beyond with his kindness, service and great storytelling! I would absolutely book this tour again, and hope to have Dan as our tour guide.
Grissel B. We had a BLAST with you (Lori Jo) and appreciated all you did. We all said you felt like our "mom" for the day and we felt very well taken care of. Thanks again so much for all the lovely pictures.

My wife and I went on a tour with Fruitful Vine Tours this past weekend while staying in St. Joseph and had a wonderful experience. The coordination was great and Dan picked us up and dropped us off directly from our hotel. We visited three wineries (St. Julian, Domaine Berrien, and Golden Muse) and had a tasty lunch at a restaurant nearby. The wineries were all great and you could tell the company had a great rapport with the servers and staff at the wineries. The time spent at each winery felt about right and the tastings gave a nice overview of the various offerings. Dan also took us through a vineyard and was a great source of information and answered all our questions. He also went above and beyond in getting it to where we could play our own music in the van after some initial snafus. We were the only customers on the tour which made for a very personal experience. The price felt reasonable. If you are looking to spend a memorable day travelling around southwest Michigan I would highly recommend Fruitful Vine Tours.
Cody S. We had a bachelorette party of nine for my nieces wedding….. Dan was an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure her day was special and everything she wanted it to be!
Ingrid H. We celebrated a friend's 60th birthday and had a wonderful day spent with LJ! She added to the fun and festivities of our day, covering every detail. It was an awesome time, thank you!
Linda
Deb and Dan were amazing! The tour was lots of fun, didn't feel rushed, and the tastings were generous. Highly recommend booking with Fruitful Vine!
Gabriela S. Best wine tour!! From start to finish, Mr. Dan was super nice and accommodating. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
Jen P. We booked a Thursday tour. We were picked up right on time at our hotel, van was clean and comfortable, and our driver Dan was personable and professional. He helped store our purchases, and attended to everyone's comfort and needs happily all day. A very enjoyable day, we will book again in the future if there is a new variety of wineries.
Dana B. Just had my bachelorette party and we spent the day with Fruitful Vine Tours and it could not have been better! The tractor wagon ride was delightful and allowed you to enjoy the scenery (especially the vineyards). Every staff member was very knowledgeable about different aspects of the tour. Our guide, Dan Kirby, was fantastic!! He took so many candid photos for us and was very friendly. I'd recommend these tours to anyone!
Brittany D.
Dan and Deb were AMAZING! We felt incredibly taken care of and had a wonderful experience. Highly suggest for anyone looking for a quality wine tour experience.
Haley T. If you have never done a wine tour with Fruitful Vine Tours and you love wine tasting, please try it. I've done two tours two years apart and both times it was very fun, enjoyable and the wine was very good. Both times Gravity was a part of the tour. Gravity wine is really good and it's a nice modern winery. Love it!
Cynthia W.Chicago, IL Our guide drove us around for the day and really got to know us! He was a great host and knows his wines! Would totally do this again!
Pamela W.Sandwich, IL My husband scored a 10 for choosing the Fruitful Vine Wine Tours out of New Buffalo to celebrate our anniversary. Our tour guide was friendly and helpful. He gave us enough space to do our tastings yet was right there loading our purchases before we could lift a finger
Jen M.Milwaukee, WI Absolutely fantastic! What a great combination: food, wine and a designated driver! Would recommend to couples doing a romantic weekend to girlfriends having a girls day out! The itinerary includes the best vineyards in Michigan's Wine Country with each boasting their unique charms! Our tour guide was attentive and entertaining! We just got back doing their St. Joe's leg of the tour on a fabulous Sunday afternoon. Definitely going to recommend to everyone we know, you need to book with them ASAP!!
Kathy S.Chicago, IL Can I say...Sophistication at its best? Bring out the Burberry scarves and Chanel red lipstick because me and my girls painted this town red! We had a great tour guide! Took us to great vineyards and helped us carry our purchases back to the bus! All the wineries had a different setup, making every stop unique! Definitely will do this again!
Lauren P.Bolingbrook, IL Fruitful Vine picked us all up on time, carted our sober to not so sober by the end selves, and brought us back safely. That in itself is wonderful! Our guide entertained us, kept us together, kept our stuff, and was all around delightful. We filled the coach so we did not share with anyone else, that made it better for us.
Danielle C.Chicago, IL You don't have to worry about driving after drinking or getting lost trying to follow a wine tour map. We were able to just sit back and relax. Our guide was great! At every stop he would tell us some history about the winery, his favorite thing (or wine) at each place—it was very interesting and had a personal touch.
Heather G.Crown Point, IN My bachelorette party was this weekend and my Maid of Honor and I decided we'd go up to Michigan for the wineries and such. Fruitful Vine was the place that we chose to drive all 13 of us around. It is such a great idea! First of all, trying to get 13 women to decide who is going to drive to Michigan is about as hard as herding cats so just imagine trying to do the same for a bunch of wine tastings. This was a a no-brainer.
Vanessa P.Chicago, IL We had such an amazing time on our tour. Our tour guide/driver was wonderful! So knowledgeable, great driver, and very attentive. He kept the group on task and collected all of our wine for us as well and stored it in the bus. Great selection of wineries as well we visited.
Megan K.Chicago, IL This is our 2nd trip and couldn't ask for a more perfect day! From pick up to drop off, such a great time. We booked this for our girls trip and we had so much fun. We enjoyed the wineries, they go about and beyond to make sure you have the best experience! Dan thank you for everything :)
Tiffany N. I booked the Vino Coach for my sister's bachelorette party. The tour was awesome!! Everyone had a wonderful time. Our driver was AMAZING! Very friendly, attentive, and informative! We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide!! All of the wineries were good and staff friendly. Thank you for helping me make my sister's party great!!
Amanda B.Plainfield, IL Booked a trip to celebrate my girlfriend's milestone birthday. We live an hour away from New Buffalo, MI and have always wanted to do the wine tours and not have to drive. What a pleasant experience. We had a very comfortable air-conditioned bus, a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, and a great experience at all of the wineries. They even call your lunch order in while at one stop so it is ready and waiting for you when you arrive at the lunch stop. My girlfriend and I cannot wait to bring our husbands back and take the St. Joseph tour. Thanks so much for a great experience.
Cindy P.Schererville, IL My boyfriend and I took the Vino Coach tour on Sunday from New Buffalo, and I could not rave enough. We lucked out with a gorgeous day in late October. The tour was so organized and our driver was so friendly and accommodating. We got straight in to every tasting and even go to the back room for a few. From holding and packing up our wine, to opening every door and calling in our lunches ahead of time, Alan was way beyond great! I am a tough customer, but I could not recommend this tour enough!
