We did the Ride the Bine Marsh View Mixer for my bachelorette and had such an amazing experience! We visited three different winery/brewery stops throughout the day and finished with dinner at the Marshview Patio, which was absolutely delicious.Our whole group had SO much fun from start to finish. Everything was organized really well, and it made the day so easy for us to just relax, enjoy ourselves and celebrate.A huge shoutout to Dave, our tour guide, who was fantastic! He was so friendly, fun and made the experience even better. Thanks again, Dave!Another huge bonus for groups of 6 or more is the custom pick-up option! They were able to pick us up and drop us off at our location, which made the whole day so convenient.I would absolutely recommend Ride the Bine for a bachelorette or group outing. Such a fun day and definitely one of the highlights of my bachelorette weekend!

This past weekend we had a group of 7 and we did the Norfolk Mixer. We were picked up at my home (because the group was 6+) by a very engaging and knowledgeable gentleman in a clean, air conditioned van. We visited 4 local creators and enjoyed the energy and tastings at all of them. Steve asked if we wanted pictures taken, he took great pictures for us, no need to pass everyone’s phone around, they were sent to us later at no additional cost.My guests were very happy with the tour and amazed at the beauty of Norfolk County.I recommend Ride the Bine for a fun, educating and worry free experience.
