I would like to start off by saying Nikki is by far the sweetest venue owner that we at MK Events have worked with. From start to finish she was so focused on making sure that the venue was everything our bride and groom could ask for. We absolutely loved working with them and will reccomend them to our clients in the future. PSA: They have donkeys we used for cocktail hour! Nikki and her sweet daughter filled them up with coors lights and the guests went bananas over it! Her and her husband helped the staff clean up at the end of the night which is UNHEARD of! They are just so thoughtful in every way. Side note- super excited for Nikki to take our team on a trail ride soon on those beautiful horses of theirs!

And this is where your journey begins.

The trip itself was pretty exciting for the first half and then it got boring. The scenery isn't really great either if you're on the side viewing over the highway. The dinner option might have been better with the night view and the evening atmosphere and all that. My folks liked it anyway. I'd give it a better score when it comes to the memories one is able to retain from the trip. If you want to get discounts (seniors, military, etc.) you must book over the phone. I got screwed over on this because the reservationist failed to mention that fact and I booked online where discounts apparently don't apply. Credit card transactions can't be refunded after the fact so check up on the payment before proceeding.

We booked this private tour with Cardinal Transportation via Viator (Trip Advisor). We were told the SUV was sold out but the sedan was still available. Within 15 minutes of paying $399.50 and receiving email confirmation for our pick up at 9 am the next morning, I received a text message from an unknown number stating that they would not be able to service the tour for at least 48 hours. When I informed this person that would not work for us as we were leaving town in 48 hours the reply was "I'll see what I can do." I never heard back from this person again despite several text messages. I tried calling the phone but the voice mailbox was full and could not accept messages. I called the main phone number for Cardinal Transportation and left a message but never received any call back. A simple "Sorry we can't do it" would have been suffice but to not answer when the pick up time for the tour is within 12 hours is completely unacceptable. We (the customers) were stuck in the middle of your miscommunication with the third party booking agent ( Viator). If you could not accommodate us you should have told Viator that the tour was sold out and take it down from the website. Or perhaps a novel idea...answer someone's text message or phone call. This is terrible customer service. Upon reading other reviews about Cardinal Transportation, this seems to be their modus operandi. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Dean was an exceptional guide and facilitator of tastings. He was also a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of the area, as well as current events. His recommendations for food were sublime.
