I would just like to make a note of the fabulous time that my party had on Ronan Oliver's wine tour. I can honestly say without a doubt that the tour was nothing less than mystical. Although the tour was 9 hours long, it felt as if it went by in 2 because of the exceptional customer service provided by Ronan as well as each winery and their staff. The food and wine was fantastic and there was never a dull moment with Ronan and all his surprises he had along the way.
Thanks again Ronan for an amazing day along the shores of Lake Erie. Looking forward to another tour in the future!!

Having been on two full day tours, we can say that the service and knowledge that Ronan and Melanie provided was outstanding. The tour they set up for us was an unbelievable value filled with great surprises and excellent service. If you are looking for a carefree day filled with fine wine, amazing food, and lots of fun, look no further!
Thank you for two great tours! We cannot wait for a third!

Enjoy a day in the county with Ronan and Mel from "Beyond the Vine Tours." A full day of good food and wine with friends and family, chauffeur driven on a vintage trolley. A great time will be had by all!

I recently organized a tour for the Southwestern Ontario Certified Management Accountants Society and cannot say enough about how much fun the day was. It was a great opportunity to get people out to network and socialize with colleagues from the area. The atmosphere created both on and off the trolley was terrific and definitely contributed to the enjoyment of the day. Cannot wait to plan next years!!!

The unique trolley named Desire, the FUNTASTIC Ronan and Melanie, mouthwatering foods, Essex County wines, friends, adventures and fun – to think all of these great things in one afternoon or evening! This is definitely what great memories are made of!
My first experience with Ronan’s guided tours ‘D’wine” was for a fund raiser. I imagined it would be fun, but I never expected it to be as great of a time that it was! Not only did our group learn about our local wineries and the land, but we tasted many delicious wines and were introduced to some wineries that many didn’t know existed. The day was perfect! From start to finish!
I was fortunate enough to participate in the first ever Halloween tour “Howl at the Moon”. I cannot say enough about it! Ronan and Melanie were “spooktackular hosts with the most!” – full of treats and surprises. I have to say it was the best Halloween party I have ever gone to! A 5 course dinner, wine tasting, and even some unexpected stops! I was sad to see the night end! The Olivers have an incredible knack of organizing unique fun filled tours!
Eagerly anticipating my next Trolley adventure,

Ronan! Thank you, thank you for the best birthday tour ever! You really went above and ‘beyond’ what any of us expected. Every detail was perfect - the delicious treats on board the bus, the fabulous wines we tasted all day, the music, food, birthday cake…the list goes on. Hearing your warm and funny stories of your own experiences really personalized it and engaged everyone. Plus, that you were able to blend it all in seamlessly with my biggest birthday surprise was just fantastic! Thank you for making my 40th birthday party a day to truly remember. We can’t wait to do it again!

Ronan...we had a wonderful time on the wine tour. It began the moment we boarded the trolley, continued through the lovely lunch and on each wine stop. It was great to learn about the wine of our region and even better to taste the fruits of their labour! Thanks for your tour and wine expertise....we will see you again.

Thank you so much Ronan and Melanie! Our day spent with Beyond the Vine exceeded all of our expectations. Your enthusiasm for and knowledge of the wonderful wines Essex County has to offer was greatly appreciated.
The “surprises” were perfect, the company divine so “Here’s to you” Beyond the Vine.

Ronan,
Summer is coming and our friends have been asking if we are going to organize another wine tour this year. We constantly talk about what a great time we had last year, so I just want to thank you for the experience. That was a special day for a very special friend and you made it perfect.
Visiting the wineries was fantastic, but you added so much more to the day with your knowledge, personal touches, and fun personality.
You went out of your way to help me set up a memorable day, and I really appreciate it.
I have been telling everyone about Beyond the Vine, and look forward to seeing you again this year.
Best, Lynne & Mark
