What a time we had! Just finished a girls night out with the Eat Drink Ride Food tours. It was soo…read moremuch fun and so worth the cost. We had a total of five stops to taste food, dessert and drinks. First stop was The Seafood King located in Lakeshore. We had a sample of the seafood basket which included shrimp, sausage, corn cob and a potato. Nice taste. Not over seasoned or under. Just right. It was a nice sample of some of the food they offer. Second stop was Jake's Soulfood in Hoover. We took a quick picture by Comedian Joys cutout then proceeded to sit for our food tasting. We had fried chicken, mac n cheese, cornbread and rice with beans. The chicken was cooked fresh and I personally would have liked a little more seasoning on the chicken but that's my preference. It was still good and so was the mac n cheese. This is when I started getting full. I did take the food I couldn't finish from Jake's home. Third stop was The Whole Scoop also located in Hoover. We were treated with a cone or bowl of ice cream (one scoop) of any flavor they had. The options were plenty. Our guide did advise us not to get vanilla, chocolate or strawberry because we can get those anytime. We needed to explore new flavors. I did... I got the dark chocolate raspberry truffle (I think that was the name). It was delicious and was a nice break from eating food. Yummy Then we traveled to Trussville and stopped at La Calle. We had tacos there. Nice spot and the tacos are authentic. They have a taco bar where you can additional toppings or get sauces. Our last stop was Corbeau Wine Bar. I have wanted to visit them for a while and now was my chance. We had a wine sample then had a quick tour of the wine bar concept. It's pretty amazing because you can sample as many wines as possible (for a fee and depending on the ounces). A great way to try before you commit to buying a full bottle of wine. The price points were reasonable. Overall a great fun experience with friends with cool music playing while we traveled. We danced some and sang along to a few songs. This is definitely an experience you should try.

I was so caught up having fun that I didn't take many pictures and videos. At midnight, we had a toast to the new year of 2022! I definitely recommend you give this tour bus a try!

It truly felt like the space was reserved just for us to relax, enjoy some girl time on our trip, and savor delicious wine samplings. The customer service was absolutely top‑notch. Although there was only one employee working, she was incredible--friendly, engaging, and attentive. She took the time to chat with us, offered great recommendations, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. It's the perfect place to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and unwind with great wine and even better service.

The train ride itself was a really fun and relaxing touch. It gave the whole event a laid-back, scenic vibe and made it feel more like an experience than just a standard tasting. It's perfect for a date day or a small group outing. As for the wine, I ended up purchasing the blueberry and peach wines, and both were absolutely delicious--fruity, smooth, and easy to drink. If you enjoy sweeter wines, I highly recommend trying those. I also have to mention the wine slushies--they were SO good and super refreshing, especially if you're visiting on a warm day. Definitely a must-try! The charcuterie selection was also a highlight. There was a nice variety, and the cheeses paired really well with the wines. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were just right for snacking throughout the tasting. A couple tips: I'd recommend booking in advance since this seems like a popular event, and definitely plan to take your time and enjoy the full experience. Overall, this was such a fun, well-put-together outing with great wine, amazing slushies, thoughtful pairings, and a unique setting. I'll definitely be back!
