Nous avons adorés notre expérience, la guide était excellente et les vignobles tellement beaux. Un après-midi sans soucis avec une ambiance chaleureuse.

Très belle expérience dans le bus magique! La guide était très aimable, et elle avait de l'expérience. Les vignobles étaient très jolis et on a découvert de bons produits. Je recommande sans hésitation!

This tour company does a fabulous job.
Nice clean bus, amazing driver (Paul!) and guide (Jeremy!). Paul has been driving double decker buses for over 14 yrs! Not his first rodeo, and it showed! He was great! Jeremy was fun and a wealth of information and shared great tid bits on and off throughout the tour. It can get quite noisy (especially nearer the end of the tour, lol), so if truly interested in all he is sharing, you may wish to sit downstairs of the bus. * the more boisterous crowd gathered up top.

Ample seats (if full I believe sits around 60 ppl) - we were the very last Sunday tour of the season and had 21 ppl. If full, they do ask ppl sit 2 to a seat which is a bit cozy but comfortable. There are windows that I do believe open but it was fresh out so ours stayed closed.
There were 2 groups celebrating Birthdays, one couple a 40th wedding anniversary and a pair of friends celebrating their 38th Friendiversary. Lots of happy ppl, from all over: NS, PEI, ON, Zimbabwe. It was fun chatting with the other passengers.

We went on the Sunday afternoon (Oct. 27th, 2024) tour and hit 4 great stops that shared some fab wines. Benjamin Bridge, Luckett, Lightfoot, Le Grand Pre. Each winery did a nice job.
The lunch was at Le Grand Pre - a cold lunch with a glass of wine, wrap, pasta salad and a dessert (served in a takeaway container). It was quite tasty. We sat outside in a tent where it was a little chilly but they turned on 2 heaters and brought us all blankets.
Each stop was informative and left time at the end to shop and look around.
They supply fab wine bags (holds approx 6-7 bottles) and encouraged you to use as many as you require for all of your purchases (this was a nice surprise - but would have been nice to know up front as we had prepared and brought our own bags). Kept all up at the front of the bus in a big bin (so the full bags don't move around), they are prepared to tag each bag with your name on them so the bags don't get mixed up.
Asked to be there 30 min before departure, arrived around 12:15pm, took off around 12:50pm as we waited for a cpl of stragglers. So it was a bit of a wait but the pick up location is at the tourism building so many ppl waited in there so as not to get chilly (no real seating tho). Back by 5:45pm.
So much fun!!
Highly recommend! Will definitely do it again.

*while the regular Magic Wine Bus tours have now stopped for the season (many vineyards close), they will be offering Holiday tours coming up (not sure of the vineyards or exact timing but details are on their website).

Wonderful tour with regional history during the bus rides between wineries/brewery. Bus driver and host were both professional, knowledgeable yet humorous. Great combination.
1 hour was just the right time frame per winery to savour the local wines offered at each vineyard and explore the property if one can get past the flights of wine first.
The bus company has perfected their system of handling your purchases and nothing is lost or mixed up
To bad you can only give 5 stars.
Worth the money

Excellent wine tour out of Wolfsville NS with a great selection of wineries and wines from the Annapolis Valley region. Nova Scotia is known for it's white wine and traditional methods bubbly wine selections; I was unsure I was going to like most of the wines as a red wine drinker, but was surprised there wasn't a single wine I did not enjoy! It was also really cool to phone home from the phone box at the Luckett winery. Spectacular views along the way added to the experience. The old style bus was super neat to ride in and our guide provided us with comedic on board entertainment.

A wonderfully curated wine tour, including 4 wineries in the area. The quality of wines varied between each property, but the hospitality and scenery within the valley was breathtaking. Notable mention to Lucketts Winery, our tour guide Jeremy who was funny, informative and energetic without being overbearing. The tour was well organized, timing between wineries and proper covid protocols were very well integrated. And it must be mentioned that the transportation was a authentic 1960s British double decker bus - no AC, so dress appropriately, and bring water! Wolfville and the Annapolis Valley are a gem in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia!

The bus itself was fun and the host very interesting. Not all the wineries were great (Benjamin Bridge and Lightfoot & Wolfville were super interesting and provided lots of interesting facts and info but Grand Pré and Gaspereau not so much…)

We had a great time on the magic bus with host Mike. He made the day super fun, and we went to four wineries that all had amazing views. The hour went by really quickly at each winery. There isn't time for lunch at any of the wineries, so definitely plan ahead with that in mind. Overall, it was an amazing day!
