Knowing Mrs Cathy Frederick has been a blessing to Me, my family and friends, there's no disputing the fact that she is the best account manager ever. I just made another withdrawal few moments ago, it was so great this is really an opportunity knowing you wow friends I can't be so selfish enough to enjoy this blessing alone you can always contact… her directly so she can help you too. She is ready to show you how you can trade and make profit, I'm a living testimony I invested $1000 and I got my profit today after 5 days trade I made a withdrawal of $13,600 as my profit in return wow I

What a wonderful experience! Eric took our group out and explained everything in detail, dumbing it down for those of us who aren't well-versed in the art of wine tasting. He brought us to the best, eclectic group of vineyards that Yakima Valley has to offer, and we really enjoyed the day with him. Bonus points, he had a great sense of humor and put up with us the whole day. Would definitely recommend, and will make sure to book with him next time we are back!

Eric took us to a mix of boutique and big-name wineries- and did a great job selecting wineries that showcased the diversity of fantastic wines found in the Yakima Valley. We went to Owen Roe, Bonair, Treveri, and Two Mountain. Each winery has a unique ambiance and wine selections, which we loved. Eric was knowledgeable, professional and also embraced the goofiness of our group. Highly recommend him and will seek him out for another tour when I’m back in the area!

This was fantastic and we are so glad we did it. It was much more than expected and really enhanced our wine tasting experience. Our driver, Eric was informative, friendly and a pleasure to be with for the afternoon. We booked this service so that we could enjoy wine tasting without worrying about driving safely. What we had was a markedly enhanced wine tasting experience - lots of information about the Yakima valley & histories of each of the wineries we visited. At one of the wineries, after receiving permission from the staff (who he seemed to know), Eric walked us around the property

I loved my experience with Wineries Express and our driver Patrick. Patrick was very attentive, arriving early with a cooler full of water, suggestions as to what wineries to go to, loading our purchases, telling us stories along the way, including his own written poetry about Yakima. There were five of us and Patrick had his hands full, but he was the ultimate and accommodating host, making our day so much fun! Thank you Patrick!

5 of us came to Yakima for a wine weekend. Patrick showed up early, had cold water for us and loaded all of of our purchases. He provided excellent recommendations for wineries we toured. Along the drive, he gave us lots of interesting fact of the area. All around awesome experience and I highly recommend Wineries Express, LLC

We did a wine tour for Spring Barrel this weekend and had Patrick as our tour guide and he was awesome! He knew about the area we went to and about each winery he took us too. He was extremely helpful. He carried and stored our wine for us, kept us hydrated and even took us on a mini food tour when we got back to yakima to help us decide where we wanted to eat dinner. Highly recommend this company, request Patrick if you book!

My wife and I did a wine tour with Patrick (the owner was on vacation) in early August 2018. Patrick was very knowledgeable about the area and drove us to some fantastic vineyards in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA & Wapato. The wines were lovely, and Patrick was a fantastic guide- warm, generous, and even shared his poetry with us... Thanks for a wonderful day!

What a wonderful day in the Yakima Valley wine tasting!! Eric is so knowledgeable, we learned so much and he is really a fun tour host.
As he has been a tour host the wineries know him well. He asked for our input on our preferences and customized out time in the valley. Price of the tour is so reasonable for what you receive, I would recommend him highly. If I could give him 6 stars I would!!

We were seeking a tour guide for a day to enjoy Yakima Valley wineries. I found Eric online and called. We wanted a mini-van driver/guide to tour 4 people for a day tour and his set-up is perfect for that. My immediate interpretation on the phone was wine-geek with passionate knowledge.
Eric lived-up to every bit of my expectations. At the beginning of the tour he was soft spoken, he listened to our interests, and shared a small part of his huge wealth of knowledge- wine knowledge, local history, and life experience. After the first two hours of touring and learning about many things, his

My husband and I booked 2 days with Eric to tour Yakima Valley wineries. Great experience. He navigates and drives, which is great. He knows the area and customizes the visits to your interests and tastes. We happen to be really curious about the growing and making processes and we ended up talking to owners in depth at 8 of 9 places. So glad we visited Yakima. 2 great stops of many were Cote Bonneville where we talked to winemaker Kerry Schiel and also Co Dinn's facility. Eric was a great source of info about region, very personable and accomodating. Would definitely book with Eric

The tour Eric planned was just what we needed. His knowledge and love of the region shone through and made the tour very special. It was amazing having a customized tour of the wineries he thought would suit us best, and as he got to know us and what we like he adjusted where we went. This was a much better experience than only being able to try one or two wineries, and none of the hassle of finding the places we like. Especially since we went on a holiday! He even gave us a recommendation for a place to try another day when we ran out of time. We found so much wine we liked my little Mini Cooper

My mom & I did a wine tour with Eric in mid-June of this year. It was such an amazing day! Eric gave great information all day on various wines & knew the best places to go. He was very knowledgeable & we learned a lot. All of the wineries we visited had such great wines & the people were all very sweet. The day felt relaxed & we never felt rushed & could take our time at each place. The only issue was having too many bottles to fly home with ;)

AWESOME!!! Our group met at the Houghton park and ride in Kirkland where Eric picked us up. That was the start of an absolutely awesome day! Eric is the man, he is incredibly knowledgeable about wines and the process of making them. He also seems to have great relationships with all the wineries we visited because we got treated like VIP's everywhere we went. All in all, a wonderful, relaxing trip. Would recommend to anyone!

I can't believe that I am just now getting around to writing a review for Eric. In summary, our experience was FABULOUS. I would recommend him, and if back in Yakima, would choose him again.
We were a group of three women in our mid-twenties in town for the evening. Eric was recommended to us by our hotel. We called him in advance, and he said he was available. As we made our way toward Yakima, we encountered terrible traffic. We gave Eric a call, letting him know and hoping he would still have time for us. Eric was so patient and accommodating.
We ended up arriving in Yakima two hours later

What else can I say but that this tour was awesome!! Eric was a great driver, super knowledgeable and took us to some wonderful places. All the tasting rooms we went to knew Eric and we got the A list treatment. We had a special request to go to another winery that wasn't originally planned, he was so great, he added that on to our tour and still took us to all of the wineries originally planned. I had never done a wine tasting tour before and I have to say Eric made it so much fun that I hope to do it again in the very near future and will definitely choose Wineries Express as my tour

If you are going to Yakima for wine tasting, definitely go with Eric. Eric is very knowledgeable, nice, and friendly. Plus, every tasting room seems to know him very well. This means you get treated well when you go with him. Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves wine and would like to do a stress free and safe wine tasting.
