“Glen and Driven Wine Tours did it again!!! We are repeat clients of Driven Wine Tours and will keep coming back. Glen is always so knowledgeable, kind and friendly. He knows the area so well, has made numerous recommendations, which we have really enjoyed, and is so reliable. When in the Oliver, Penticton or Osoyoos area do not go with anyone else!” Brooke - June 2024

He gave great suggestions, worked with us in collaborating our itinerary for the day and handling all the reservations.

Us gals felt very taken care of and we’ve already begun planning next year. ☺️ Thanks so much Glen!” Abby - June 2024

“Glen was an absolute rock star on our recent trip to the wineries in and around the Penticton area. We were a small group of three who wanted a private, customizable wine tour option and Glen knocked it out of the park.

We would absolutely recommend his service and plan to use him again in the future! Thanks Glen!” Lindsay - June 2023

“After many different tour companies and operators we have found the one!!! Glen is absolutely a delightful human being and handled my A type personality like a pro. He had coolers for our wine, even went back and brought our wine to our airbnb while we had a tasting. He shared stories about his family and asked us all very insightful questions. I do recommend doing 2 full days if you can! Thank you Glen!” Cassandra - May 2023

“We booked a 5 stop wine tour with Driven Wine Tours for July long weekend. It was absolutely fantastic. We loved the idea of having someone drive our own car for us and, as such, we could have a private tour with just the two of us (my wife and I). Glen was experienced, professional, organized, and provided some good company as well. Overall, fantastic experience and highly recommended.” Rob - July 2022
“Driven Wine Tours was a fantastic experience . . . it was great service from the moment I received my email reply. Glen was very accommodating and took care of planning our trip immediately based off our winery choices. DRVN provides you with an independence to choose the wineries of your choice with out the stress of booking and driving. Glen was professional and courteous. It was door to door service . . . he handled and organized our purchases swiftly. He went out of his way to accommodate last minute requests. Best of of all, he was fun to have around. Overall it was a fun and relaxing experience. My friends and I had a blast.” Marlene - July 2022
“We planned a full day of wine tasting for my fathers 60th birthday for a group of six on July long weekend. After asking around to friends we heard rave reviews about Glen and his services. I can say hands down our experience would not have even been remotely as successful or fun without Glen! He kept the wineries on time which was a huge factor for our large itinerary, and organized any purchases with color coded stickers. He made the day absolutely flawless with his punctuality + knowledge and hospitality. Will definitely book with Glen again!” Chalie - July 2022
"From the beginning of our trip I knew it was going to be awesome. Glen made sure before we went that the schedule of wineries and lunch fit within our time schedule and that we liked all the choices he made. He booked all of our wine tastings and lunch for us. Our driver for the day Huia was very knowledgeable of the area so it made for an enjoyable drive. He would even call the wineries/restaurant if we were running late, not leaving that up to us. I would highly recommend this experience." Amanda - September 2021

"Glen was an amazing wine tour guide. He was very friendly, polite and easy going. He took care of everything from finding wineries and booking them ahead of time.

“Glen was amazing at putting together our personalized wine tour in the Summerland area on very short notice! Our driver, Dan, was outstanding.

It was an exceptional wine tour - highly recommend. Thank you Glen and Dan!!!!” Carolyn - July 2021
“THE BEST WINE TOUR I HAVE EVER BEEN ON! I say this very seriously as I live in the Okanagan and have been on multiple wine tours. Glen was amazing every step of the way. I found him online, he was quick to respond to all my questions. . . .Glen planned our itinerary after gathering info from me. He even put a few breweries on our list for the husbands that tagged along. He really made us feel looked after, and really …that’s what we all want. . . . Glen really thought of everything!! On top of all of this great stuff, Glen is just a great guy!! He chatted and laughed with us the whole time. We will definitely be booking Glen again . . . honestly, the best wine tour ever.” Nicole - July 2021
“My friend and I decided to do a wine tour and we’re so happy we stumbled upon Driven Wine Tours. It was perfect as there were only two of us and we didn’t really want to run on any one else’s schedule. We had the greatest time with Glen. Very easy to talk to, funny and ensures you have the best experience! I was very impressed with every aspect, the boxes labeled and ready to go, cold water, juggling of itinerary EVERYTHING! In fact, we had such a great time we booked the company again a few days later to take four of us friends around. We hadn’t gotten together, just us four, in years. This time we got to meet Dan who is very knowledgeable. Would absolutely recommend and 100% will use them again!!!” Rachel - July 2021
“Glen was the perfect driver for our recent self-planned wine tour! We really appreciated his laid back air, helpful demeanour, and having lived in the area for many years, had a lot of local history to share with us. And - since he was driving my car - a safe and responsible driver! We really enjoyed Glen’s company and all agreed that his presence really added to the fun! I cannot recommend Driven Wine Tours enough!” Navi - July 2021
“We had a fantastic time with Glen on our wine tour through Kelowna. Glen was super personable, professional and extremely flexible when planning the day.

“BOOK THIS TOUR! Why? It doesn't feel like a tour, it's your own concierge/chauffeur for the day. . . They take care of everything. . . . The day was perfectly scheduled . . . I literarily felt like a celebrity . . . We had plenty of good laughs and it was so relaxed and fun. . . EVERYTHING is personalized . . . By far, the best experience we had in the Okanagan it was such a memorable day and many thanks to Glen exceptional service.” Lenore - June 2021

“My boyfriend and I decided to do a wine tour for my birthday during our stay in Kelowna. It was the best day of our trip! I’m so happy I found Glen online, he preplanned our entire wine tour for us and thought of everything in advance - from the cold waters to the cooler he brought for the wines we purchased (super important during the heat wave!). We had so much fun getting to know him that day and he showed us some of the most spectacular views we’ve seen. He also went out of his way to grab us some great burgers when we were feeling a little wined out. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience, thank you Glen for making my birthday such a memorable and amazing day. We can’t wait to go back and do another tour with Driven Wine Tours!” Lily - June 2021
“Dan was a wealth of knowledge not only wine but the area itself. We all enjoyed the ability to choose the wineries and the recommendation of Glen to pick out ones to add to the tour. Dan upon arrival was friendly and welcoming. As we aren’t wine experts, but do enjoy wine, he was able to answer our questions and guide us along the way while dealing with one of the hottest days in the Okanagan. He was able to adjust our plan due to a closure to a near by winery that would be able to accommodate. Would do this again in the future and recommend it to our friends and family.” Rajen - June 2021
“Best wine experience ever! Hands down probably the best wine tour you can get. We loved getting to a say in which wineries we saw, even the extra ones added the day of. Glen just helped make the day super relaxing and enjoyable. We also really enjoyed just chatting with him in between our wine tastings. I hands down would recommend his services if you are looking for a fun and relaxing wine experience.” Sara - May 2021

“Glen, from Driven Wine Tours, completely exceeded our expectations and literally made our day!!! His sense of humour, knowledge of the area, professionalism, planning and fun attitude was over and above anything we had expected. My husband and I have done many wine tours over the years, and this one was by far the best. The next time we head to the Okanagan for a wine tour, we will be calling Glen!” Dawn - September, 2020
“My friend and I had a fabulous time enjoying the well planned wine tour organized by Glen. We were so happy that Glen was available for the Saturday on a long weekend and was very excited with the itinerary he planned for us. He is a knowledgeable tour guide and booked all the tours and even lunch spot for us. I was especially pleased that not only he took care of all our wine purchases to make sure they are put in the separate boxes, he also made sure the car was nice and cool when we returned to the car!! It was above 30 degrees that day and after some wine it was definitely nice to return to a nice air conditioned car. We also appreciate the great conversation with him throughout the day!! 😊 I definitely recommended Glen to few of my friends and plan to book him again for our next wine tour.” Jeannie - September, 2020
“We had the wonderful privilege of having Glen as our tour guide in the beautiful Naramata Region. Glen was kind, professional, knowledgeable, hilarious and an absolute delight to be around. He took my ideas on what venues I would like to visit and created an incredible itinerary with a picnic stop that had a jaw dropping view. Glen was extremely courteous- gave us space while we conducted the tastings but was always right around the corner to hold or box our bottles for us. Our group last minute decided we wanted a night in town after our tastings and Glen without hesitation dropped us off and left our car safely at home. He was an absolute pleasure and our group had an amazing time. We will be back next year! Looking forward to the laughs and memories.” “The Youngsters” - August, 2020
“A uniquely personal tour complete with great conversations and laughter throughout the day. Glen tended to personal touches such as providing water, acts of chivalry, kept bus on schedule, and carried and boxed our wine purchases safely. He was attentive to the wine preferences of each guest in our group and made changes to the original itinerary so that the day was even more enjoyable. Choose Glen and DRVN Wine Tours for a truly memorable experience.” Brad - August, 2020
“Glen‘s service was fantastic. He organized all of our wine tastings and provided a clear itinerary. He was a delight to have around, our conversations made the day even better. Couldn’t have asked for more, we will definitely reach out to Glen next time we’re in wine country, and we’ll be recommending him to friends also.” Amir - July 2020
“Glen was the right man for the job when I frantically asked for his help to organize a very last minute wine tour for my friend's bachelorette. With only two days notice and a global pandemic in effect, he somehow managed to plan and reserve a full day of winery visits for us. He made sure that our day was easy, care-free, and maxed out on fun! He was a pleasure to have tour us around Osoyoos, offering professional services and a great attitude. I can't recommend him enough! We will definitely use his services for our next visit to the area.” Keara - July, 2020
“Our experience with Glen was excellent. He was great at communicating leading up to our experience, he took care of all the bookings, made a clear itinerary and took us to a few bonus stops when we had extra time, and most importantly, was fun to talk to and spend the day with. We are so happy we booked Glen for our wine tour and will not hesitate to book him again. We will definitely recommend him to everyone we know!” Lisa - July, 2020
