Arcadia Tours

Amazing wine tour! Excellent service would recommend to anyone.

We had an excellent staff appreciation wine tour with Derek! We would like do it again next year!

The tour was exceptional! Myself and a friend were visiting from Ontario and were shown some of the best views and wine venues on Vancouver Island! Derek is very knowledgeable and truly does pay attention to every detail. We will definitely be coming on the tour again someday when we are back in Victoria and recommend it for anybody looking for some good wine, cider & food!

We had a great time on this tour and highly recommend it.We have lived in Victoria for 20 years.Taking this tour exposed us to some local wineries and a cidery that we were not aware of before. We were excited to learn more about our community and the local businesses we visited.All of the locations were scenic, and the tastings exposed us to many lovely local wines and ciders. We found ourselves making purchases at each location, and looking forward to going back to support these local businesses in the future.The Pacifica van used for transport was luxurious! Very comfortable.The host Derek was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the experience.Whether a resident of the South Island, or a visitor, this tour will provide you with a very pleasant afternoon! This is a tour that would be a wonderful gift or fabulous time with friends or family.. In this covid time all measures were taken to insure the safety of the guest. Very fun time!

It's about time Greater Victoria had a wine and food tour focused on the Saanich Peninsula. The culinary scene here has really come into its own, and Arcadia Tours is the perfect half day staycation" activity for your social bubble squad. Arcadia takes you and up to five family or friends on an amazing tasting experience of the peninsula. On our tour we visited Church & State

Derek is the man. Very professional and great tour. Would 100% recommend to a group looking to see what the peninsula has to offer for wineries/cidery. Derek takes care of everything for the whole day and makes it very easy/enjoyable to move from one place to another. The van is very comfortable and spacious.

I want to write about my experience with Arcadia tours. Now with limited options due to the changes in the world trying to find something to enjoy with friends as hard. We ended up booking with Arcadia just after the business started up. Derick was amazing. He has been involved in the hospitality industry for almost 30 years. He had us laughing right from the beginning. Shared his knowledge of wines and of east saanich. It was an amazing day with three wineries and Ended with a boxed lunch at Sea Cider and all the tastings. Everything was included in the tour. We of course did purchase a hand full of wines to enjoy later.I highly recommend Arcadia tours. It’s Not just wine but history and supporting the local economy as we get through the last two years. Planning another tour this summer when my brother and family come to visit.

Our experience with Arcadia Tours was absolutely exceptional. My wife Chantelle and I have toured wineries in Niagara, Napa and Sonoma Valleys, and this was among the best. Derek, our host, was knowledgeable and friendly, providing great insight into the local wineries and the cidery that we visited, complete with a delicious charcuterie lunch included with the cost of the tour. What a great day! It was the highlight of our trip to BC.

Fabulous wine tour! The event was well organized and our tour guide was friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable making for a wonderful afternoon! Highly recommend.

Derek was a great host - knowledgeable about Victoria and sannich area, very accommodating with our tour and allowed us to stay at the wineries we enjoyed, and had great conversations in between locations. this was a fantastic experience and highly recommend to all tourist and island locals! Thank you Derek!
