Hi Jo-Ann,

Jeff and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour and lunch. Your knowledge and insight was greatly appreciated and it is was by far the highlight of our trip.

We will likely try to book another tour with you in August when we have guests out at our house.

Thanks again and I will definitely spread the word to anyone I know that would be interested in your services.

Warm regards,
Chelsea

We all had such a fantastic day and were saying that we wished we could do it every weekend! It was definitely the highlight of the weekend! Sue was so great! She was so nice, attentive and informative! Thank you again for everything! It was such a pleasure to work with you!! I'm sure we'll be in touch for more wine tours in the future!!

Thank You Again,

Dear Jo-Ann,
As a recent addition to the North Fork Wine Country's Bed & Breakfasts, my wife Ellie and I were looking for a transportation alternative to recommend to our guests that would allow them to visit the local wineries and farm stands while relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. As it turned out, our guests found the best solution for us. A significant number of people that stayed at our home this past summer had booked vineyard tours with Jo-Ann Perry of Vintage Tours. All of them returned to say what a wonderful experience they enjoyed with Jo-Ann as their personal tour guide.

As the busy season drew to a close I was finally able to experience firsthand, the hospitality and attention to detail that our guests were speaking of when they described their experiences with Vintage Tours. The personal and affectionate greetings that Jo-Ann received at each of the wineries we visited were a testament to her personal knowledge of the area and her love of the fine wines that the North Fork has to offer. From the start, Jo-Ann made everyone in our party feel comfortable and at home and totally relaxed as we embarked on our tour. Her soft-spoken and knowledgeable demeanor set the tone for the entire day as we visited wineries personally selected for us by Jo-Ann. My friends and I totally concur with the rave reviews Vintage Tours received from our guests.

Jo-Ann, thank you again for a perfect day experiencing the wineries and farm stands of the North Fork. Vintage Tours is certainly # 1 on our recommendation list.

With kind regards,
Rick & Ellie Coffey

Jo-Ann,
I just wanted to write you on behalf of Chris and myself to say thank you once again for a most wonderful tour of the vineyards on Saturday. We really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to doing it with you again sometime. We will not hesitate to recomend you to anyone looking to experience the LI wine country, everything was PERFECT!

Thanks again,
Elaine and Chris

Dear Jo-Ann,
I would like to take a moment to let you know that Randy and I had a wonderful time last Tuesday on your tour. I could not believe how much work that goes into the process of making wines. It was amazing to see how many vineyards we have, in our own back yard. We told our families how much we enjoyed the tour and how amazed we were about your knowledge of wine and the process of making wine. We both enjoyed our box lunches very much. Our wine wrack at home is filled with the goodies that we picked up from your tour. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about wine or just wants a taste of Long Island's best wines. I would like to add that the fresh donuts from the farmer's market were sooo good and I enjoyed picking my sunflowers.

Thank you for making our vacation special. We hope to bring our friends and/or families back with us for another visit.

Jo-Ann -
I just wanted to say again, on behalf of both myself and Ellyn, what a great time we had with you this past Saturday .. your passion for wine, your local knowledge and relationships, and importantly your desire to make sure that your clients truly enjoy their experience set you apart as an ambassador for L.I. wines .. the fact that you put thought into each trip re: specific wineries best suited for each group, clearly differentiates you from anyone else with a "fancy limo" ... we have already recommended you to a few other couples we met this weekend and will do so for anyone else we meet that mentions an interest in a local wine tour .. we wish you the best of luck and hope that Vintage Tours remains the premier choice for anyone looking for a North Fork (vs South Fork) experience !!!

Dear Jo-Ann,
I just wanted to thank you for the lovely tour on Saturday the 19th. Beth, Elizabeth, Jennifer, and I all had a wonderful time. I've taken various wine tours around the world and I truly appreciate your service, thoughtfulness, and insights. At all of our stops, I learned something new that I had never heard before, which was the best part for me. I wish you all the best for a successful year and please know that I will encourage all my friends to visit the North Fork and take one of your tours.

Warm regards,

Dear Jo-Ann
We had such a wonderful time with you and our "group" on the tour. It was a delight in every possible way. Congratulations on your choice of a chef and your very own charming, intelligent, and articulate comments.

We don't usually do something like this twice but you would be a true exception.

Looking forward to seeing you again and recommending you to anyone we met who wants to know about the North Fork.

Sincerely Lyla & Howard

Hi Jo-Ann,
Just wanted to drop you an e-mail and thank you for a wonderful time last Thursday. Fran and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves; your hospitality and that of the winery folks was just fantastic! It's difficult being back in the swing of things after such a lovely respite.

Hope to see you on our next trip to NYC--if you're ever in the Temecula area for wine tasting, let me know. I'd be happy to take you to some of my favorite wineries in the San Diego area.

Thanks again for everything! :-)

Renee

Jo-Ann,
I want to thank you for a fantastic time this past Saturday touring the vineyards. It was our first time doing this and you made it both an educational and enlightening experience. We are still amazed at the amount of information you know about the wine-making business in general and the wineries in LI in particular! We will definitely recommend your tour in the future (we actually have done so already!).

Thanks again!
Keith Rutsky and Jen Newman

PS - I know the lunch you served is a work in progress but we loved it - the wine and strawberries were a very nice touch (unfortunately I ate mine before sampling the ice wine) - my steak sandwich and small penne side dish was excellent!

Hi Jo-Ann,
I just wanted to say thank you again for Saturday. The day was absolutely perfect and we all had such a great time, especially Cindy. She didn't stop talking about it, and to be honest neither did we. You were a terrific guide and you couldn't have been any more accomodating. We really appreciated the fact that you let us hang for a bit at that last vineyard.

Anyway, we had such a good time that I think we'll want to do it again sometime, just because. Thanks for making my sister's big day all that she could have imagined. Hope to see you again.

Be well.
Jamie Saranik

Hi Jo-Ann --

Sincerely,
Ali & Mark

Dear Jo-Ann,
On behalf of my friends, I would like to thank you again for making today such a great experience for all of us. I guess we knew we'd enjoy the wineries and the celebration of Lois's retirement, but your contribution to our good time really helped make the day even more special.

Good luck to you and your family -

Hope to see you again.
Roberta Birnel

Hi Jo-Ann,

Jo Ann,
Gary and I enjoyed ourselves so much on Sunday and wanted to thank you for a great day --- we will tell all our friends, relatives etc about your tour. It was wonderful.

Thank you so much.

Jo-ann,
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for our tour on Saturday. It was
our first wine tour & we thoroughly enjoyed it. Everything was wonderful
from the lunch, to your choice of Vineyards, to the discounts we received,
to your knowledge about the whole wine-making process. I've already told all
my friends & family about you & your tour. Hopefully you'll see all of us in
the Fall.

So again, thank you. You were so nice & proffessional & your tour was
fabulous. Great job!

Best,
Danielle Rutnik

Hello Jo-ann,
We just wanted to say thank you so very much for the wonderful time we had on Saturday. Not only does your extensive knowledge of the vineyards and towns make for a wonderful, informative tour, but your friendliness and sense of adventure make it fun for all! I loved each of the vineyards and the owners that we met. I truly hope to take another tour with you and wish you all the best.
