We had an excellent experience with LI Vino. I reached out to several winery tour companies and Al was one of the first to get back to me. His package price was competitive and the reviews were great. I corresponded with Al frequently leading up to the day of our winery tour as our group had a lot of questions. Al always got back to me promptly. Our driver Pat was courteous, professional, accommodating and friendly. Our pick up was 10:30am. Pat arrived early and called to let us know but didn't rush us at all. He helped us with our bags, helped us into and out of the limo, etc as all good drivers should. There was water and a bottle of local wine in the limo. Once we got to the wineries he escorted us inside and got us all set up. At the second winery there were some stools set up instead of seats. Pat quickly went and got us some comfy chairs. He let us know what our timeline would be at each place and always arrived early but didn't rush us. Lunch was pretty good. Everyone liked their food. No complaints. We didn't like the third winery (our fault, Pat tried to politely inform us it wasn't his fave but didn't want to push us into not going and regretting it). Pat was nice enough to pick us up early. All in all a great experience. I would definitely recommend LI Vino/VZ Limo to anyone. read more

Booking LI Vino Tours was the best decision I made. Al was so easy going and so knowledgeable. He really helped me create a day that would really be enjoyed by all of the participants. The driver was amazing, professional and so friendly. All around a pleasant experience. I will definitely book again with LI Vino Tours. read more

A little too expensive It's a costly trip for some wine tasting. Not certain I will try it. read more

I had an awful experience with LI Vino Tours. I am turning 30 next week and was very excited to do a wine tour with this company. I requested a quote via their website on 5/20/21. I wanted additional information so I contacted Al directly after receiving an email from him. We spoke on the phone about the date I requested (6/12/21) as well as the amount of people in my group. He proceeded to tell me he could accommodate our group of 18 and confirmed that day and time slot was available. After our discussion over the phone he sent a detailed reservation confirmation. He informed me that I would have to pay the deposit to secure that day so I called him about an hour later once I was finished at work. Al didn't answer my call and instead texted me saying to "text him". I reminded him who I was and indicated that I was calling to pay the deposit for 6/12/21. Al then tells me that the party bus had already been booked for 6/12/21 as of that morning. This was confusing because we had a conversation that afternoon and I received a reservation confirmation email as well. If the bus was booked that morning, why wasn't I made aware of this on our phone call? Why was I sent a reservation confirmation email? Communication with Al was very poor and he was extremely nonchalant about the "mix-up". For those of you who don't know, this wine tour only includes tastings at the first vineyard and one bottle per every 3 people at the second vineyard. That is definitely not enough alcohol to have a good time lol so be prepared to dish out extra money at the vineyards. They also were only going to provide cold sandwich wraps instead of the "hot food" mentioned on their website, yet the price remained the same. Also, his party bus doesn't have a bathroom. I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be for a party of my size (18) to try to hold in their pee the duration of the ride, or to have to inconveniently stop at a rest stop. I have included screenshots of my reservation confirmation email as well as my text conversation with Al. read more

For my 45th birthday my husband booked a tour for me and 5 my girlfriends and Honestly it was the worst wine tour I have ever been on. First- driver was over 10 minutes late with no notification. Second -we were packed into a small suv , where one of my guests had to sit up front with the driver. Third , the driver started out driving west instead of east and during the drive swerved multiple times into other lanes and even drove into ongoing traffic. Fourth, when we get to our first winery, it took over 15-20 minutes for us to get anything to drink. The food was from sandwiches from king kullen and for some reason we were set up outside when my husband requested us to sit inside ( there was plenty of setting). We were given our food all the containers from king kullen sealed and no plates. Just a side note- my husband was told we would be served a lunch in the VIP section. Finally, on the way home the driver again swerved multiple times into other lanes and was texting and driving.. This was just some of what happened. We did not enjoy ourselves and would not recommend this company for the price my husband paid. read more

We had a great experience with LI Vino tours. It was a present for my husband's 40th birthday and he loved the experience. The food was tasty, we had our own private table and the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. Definitely recommend this company if you looking to do a wine tasting. read more

Tried to book this but due to limo crash in NY this month want to make sure they were registered and drivers were licensed to drive the limo. Called dot first they couldn't find them under both names. Called them and ask them for there dot number he said send what we want and they would give to us. Buyer beware based on the reviews I read about older limos and not in good condition and the Fact that they didn't want to give their dot number which they have to have if they are carry more than 8 people I would be not be using them. If limo companies are following the rules they would post their insurance and dot registration. You want to do the right thing to hire a limo and not drink and drive. Got them to take your money and then risk your life thank you no thank you. read more

Hey guys, if your expecting a tour of what it takes to make wine, you'll be shocked find out that's not the case. Once you get to a winery, it's straight to tasting. No actual "tour" of the vineyard or barrel storage. Although. After 3 winery's and dozens of wine tasting. Wondering how wine is made goes out window. All in all. A very good limo trip and very delicious wine. Oh, make sure to pick a time that's not too early. We got to our 1st winery too early for any live music. I didn't set the trip up. But, I would have liked to arrive at a time to see all the festivities. read more

We book this tour for our friends bachelorette! We had a party bus which was so much fun! Our driver was also great and very kind got us back and forth safe and sound!! Al and Mike were amazing ! Easy to work with and responded immediately when we had any concerns! Excellent service! They had an area for us in the shadow with delicious wraps some cold salads and cookies ! It was a great experience as many of us never been to a vineyard and everyone wants to go back! read more

Although the service was great and the driver was extremely nice, I couldn't get over the smell. I have a feeling this is pretty consistent as I saw other reviews mentioning the oder as well. You could tell the limo was really old as the TV didn't work (not a big deal), the leather seats were ripped and the grill of the car was missing a panel. It was honestly kind of embarrassing. The vineyards they took us to were overcrowded a had limited drinks. I would be sure to check with them on how the drink and wine bottle process works. Also, be sure to bring an AUX code for music. read more

The day was perfect for a bachelorette party consisting of 17 women. We went to 3 wineries and left from Clifton, NJ (a 10 hour package) On a positive note, the weather was amazing and we did not feel rushed at all. Our party bus driver, Jason, was perfection. He was nothing but professional and kept me informed of any traffic concerns so we made the most of each vineyard. At the second vineyard, we were served our lunch. During the planning process, I asked Al what types of wraps were included and he stated: turkey, roast beef and vegetable, along with some cold salads. This worked out perfectly since we had a handful of women who were vegan and some others who preferred vegetarian. To our frustration, when the lunch was delivered there was no vegetable wraps to be found. When I brought this to Al and Michael's attention their response was "Sorry,.maybe try to buy something at the food truck, or have them eat crudite" Mind you, the crudite platters we brought along with us, so they really did not provide any resolve or show any concern. One of them actually said , "I will reimburse you 8 dollars for the sandwich." When you are paying $4K for an all day event, I find that statement to be rude and unprofessional. The service did not deliver the type of lunch promised and I am left with a poor view on how this company handles business and over all customer service. read more

LI Vino Tours was helpful in setting up the vineyard trip for our group. Unfortunately, the limo company they booked for us was AWFUL. They said they will never use this company again but I warn you to double check that they will not be using WhiteStar Limo. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is because I can't believe they booked a limo service with the type of HORRIBLE reviews on White Star's Yelp with multiple 1 star reviews. I could never imagine partnering with a vendor with that many 1 star reviews. Otherwise they were very responsive and helpful with faciliating our trip and they also kindly provided a refund as a result of the terrible experience with the limo, which was much appreciated. read more

Contacted 4 wine tour companies. Al was quick to respond, flexible when our plans changed, worked with us to finalize our itinerary. The price was reasonable. Our driver Mario was great - courteous, punctual, very helpful. Highly recommend these guys. read more

I booked VZ limo for my sister's bachelorette party - a wine tour in Long Island's North Fork for six people. Renting a limo for a full day certainly isn't cheap but VZ is comparable, if not less, in price than others offering wine tours in the area. We, luckily, weren't an overly raucous (or in any way sloppy) bachelorette group which I'm sure made things much easier on the driver. They're great when it comes to offering a package deal - for an extra cost, they'll arrange all tastings at 3 vineyards, plus lunch from a local deli. Cost for pickup in Manhattan was an extra $150 which wasn't bad considering it's an extra 2 hours round trip. Overall, I'd recommend VZ. The contract process was a bit frustrating since it seemed like a neverending loop of emails. I'd give 'em 4 stars honestly but I'm a bit torn. I got an email yesterday offering me a discount in exchange for a positive review on Google....and to me, that's shady. read more

The only reason I am giving 2 stars and not 1 star is because Al, the manager, was great. He always answered his phone and was helpful in answering my questions. Also, the price was a few hundred dollars cheaper than at competitors. A few weeks ago, I booked a 7-person limo tour for one of my best friends' bachelorettes. We wanted a fun ladies day where we could visit wineries and have a blast. The limo arrived on time and the driver, Steve, was very nice. However, our limo smelled like a porta potty (apologies for the graphic image) and was pretty gross to sit in for 7 hours, with many of the bridesmaids feeling queasy. (Not what you want during a bachelorette!) Also, Steve got lost on Shelter Island (understandable) but didn't check a map for at least 30 minutes, so we lost a lot of time on our way home. We ended up spending about 6 hours on the tour. Also, the first vineyard we went to, Pugliese Vineyards, I found to be very depressing. It was a wide open indoor space (sort of like a banquet hall for middle school parties) that was pretty empty around lunchtime, and they were selling cheap hotel-like artwork leaning against the walls. I don't think this is the best winery for them to send us to. The other two, Osprey and Vino 42, were fun. I don't like to write negative reviews so I called Al to tell him about the smell and that I would be writing a negative Yelp review. He offered me a $150 coupon on my next tour, which I will not be using... read more

Wow! Great wine tour! Al was awesome and very accommodating. Had 2 guest not ride the limo with us Al accommodate that. We Latinos so music is a big deal for us our limo driver was also great he stop to got us an aux wire didn't work but Al got us a speaker and vuala we have music!! The Vineyards were great my favorite Sparkling Point. Originally from FL was celebrating boyfriends 40th he loved it!! And everyone from NY has heard of this company cause is truly awesome! Planning 2 other events and shall and will be using them!! They were great an Al was exceptional. Loved our experience!! read more

I used LI Vino Tours for the second time and once again, was highly impressed!! I secured a car and driver for me and my three sisters, to celebrate "the baby's" 50th Birthday. We had originally planned a 6 hour tour including tastings at 2 vineyards as well as lunch. I was a little apprehensive about planning this type of celebration during Covid19 but Al reassured me about the safety measures put in place and I started to feel better. We were going to have a reserved table at Ospreys Dominion but not at Duck Walk. I was concerned about not getting into Duck Walk so asked Al if we could just stay at Osprey for the day. He was more than willing to work with me and we had the most relaxing afternoon. My sisters are from out of state and as much as I would have loved for them to try more than one tasting, we all agreed that we felt safer staying in one place. There was live music, beautiful scenery and we had a delicious lunch and of course, amazing wine! Our driver Vlad was very accommodating - he took pictures, brought our wine and lunch over so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. As I mentioned in my first review, I will definitely be using this company again and highly recommend. read more

Booking with Al and LV Vino Tours was the best decision I could have made for my friends bachelorette party. Al made the planning process a breeze and accommodated our group with pleasure, specifically one girl with dietary restrictions and one girl who is pregnant. I asked Al to choose the vineyards for us, and they were perfect. Fortunately we had a beautiful day, but the ambiance at all three wineries was exactly what we were looking for. Debbie, our fantastic, spunky, and helpful tour guide made our day PERFECT. She went out of her way to make sure we all were having a good time and encouraged us to keep the party alive! Absolutely no disappointment with our day and would recommend LV Vino Tours to anyone traveling to the North Fork area. read more

VZ Limo was amazing to me! I was recently on a tour to the vineyards with a group a friends and we had a great experience! The driver, Steve, was very accommodating to our group with extra rest stops. Even when our food orders were mixed up he went back to fix them! After getting home I realized I lost my sunglasses. I called the vineyards but haven't heard back. I called VZ Limo and they called the driver we had that day and they found them! I truly appreciate all the effort this company is going through to get them to me! Thanks Al! They are super sweet! We'll definitely use them many more times! read more

The actual tour was perfect I had a very large group and Al and the bus driver went above and beyond to assure that we had a wonderful time. Due to COVID we had to split our group into 2 because of restrictions at the wineries but everyone still had an amazing time. However, there were a few things that were a bit of a turn off for me. 1. My tour was booked before the pandemic started, however due to the pandemic we had to push it back. I had to contact the company to inquire about this as there was no notice sent. Furthermore, when tours resumed I did not receive any notice then either. It wasn't until I reached out that I found out that tours had resumed, this was very upsetting considering I had already put down a significant deposit. I felt people who had already given money should have been the first to know when tours resumed and given first dibs on dates, however that was not the case. 2. After we settled on a new date it wasn't until I looked at the new contract that I realized we would only be visiting 2 wineries instead of the 3 my group originally paid for. This is another very big adjustment that I feel the owner should have been upfront about instead of me noticing on my own. 3. We were promised additional wine bottles to make up for the fact that we could not visit the original 3 wineries we were promised and we did not get that. While I think Al is a very nice guy and my group had an amazing time. I am not a fan of the lack of communication. read more

My friends and I took this tour recently to celebrate her bachelorette. Due to COVID, we had to cancel our original plans several times. When talking to Al, he was extremely kind and supportive in helping us plan this special day. He rolled out the red carpet and truly made us feel at home. We were able to access two vineyards and had an amazing day. Ken, the driver, was extremely kind and was willing to do whatever he could to help us have a special day. We had an amazing time and I highly recommend this tour! It is the best girls day out! read more

We booked a group wine tour through Al Fresco Wine Tours (then LiVino) earlier this month for 20ish of us in our mid 20's. Shant was very helpful via email and over the phone when we were in our initial planning stages, and Al was very friendly and helpful once we got to the vineyard. Our food orders were all correct and ready waiting for us when we arrived at the first vineyard, Osprey's Dominion, with chilled bottles of white wine. Al was happy to take group photos for us and said he would send them to us via email and post them on their facebook page, which we're looking forward to seeing. We then went to Vineyard 48, which was a blast. We were having so much fun that they let us extend our time there for an hour for just $10/person. There was also a bathroom on our party bus, which was a huge plus. I had such a great time that I recommended this to my sister to do for her 23rd birthday, and she did. So I just went back and did it all again this past weekend, and would definitely recommend it to others and would love to do it again! read more

Just came back from a great weekend in the Hamptons. Unfortunately the weather SUCKED, we had rain the whole day Saturday which was the day of our tour. But the weather didn't stop us from having a good time and our driver Carmine made sure we all had what we needed and wanted. Thank you such much Carmine you are truly a gem. Al made our reservations and was very catering. Thank you LI Vino for being part of the reason my birthday was amazing!!! read more

I booked a group wine tour through VZ Limo for my 23rd birthday for 11 of my friends. We went to Osprey's Dominion where they served us lunch and immediately brought over several bottles of wine for us to sample. They also took a lot of pictures of my friends and I that they will send to you. We also played corn-hole and bought a few extra bottles of wine to take home with us. The second vinyard we went to was Vinyard 48 which was so much fun! We ordered pitchers of Sangria and they played the best music the entire time. If you weren't in the mood to dance you would sit outside, there were several picnic tables and chairs set up close to the outside tasting section. There was also a food truck there if you wanted some snacks. All of the staff were very friendly and so attentive if you needed something. They were very fast with replying to emails (within an hour or two) and were always very friendly. I am defiantly looking forward to booking my next wine tour through this company! read more

I had the BEST experience with this company! I have to admit, I was suspicious when I read all the rave reviews, but they lived up to every great thing everyone else said. Al was so helpful and responsive when we were setting everything up. Then our limo driver, Mario, was awesome. He showed up right on time, a few minutes early, actually. He made sure the AC and radio were working before we left, let us know how long the ride would be, and we were off. There were cold bottles of water waiting for us in the limo. We went to Pugliese, Ospreys Dominion, and Baiting Hollow. Each location was beautiful, and the wines were fantastic. At our first stop, Mario brought us a bag of food to feed to the fish in the pond, which was nice. He took pictures for our group so we could all be in it. Then at the next stop Mario escorted us to our reserved table in the shade, where we met Al. They brought us two bottles of delicious wine along with our lunch orders. We opted for the wraps and chips, which I honestly thought were going to be nothing special, but they were great! I got the chicken and Swiss, my other friend got the eggplant, and the last two got the turkey. All of us ate every last bite. No complaints from anyone! Again, Mario took pictures for us, and we were off to our last stop, Baiting Hollow. There we got more great wines (the Pink Satin was especially good), and we purchased a cheese plate, which we ate while listening to the soulful live band. Then we went and looked at the horses and ponies until it was time to go. Mario got us home safe and sound, joking with us the whole time. I'd arranged this for my friend's birthday and she absolutely loved it. We all had a blast and the 7 hours flew by. I'm not a big spender, but this was worth every penny. I highly recommend them and I hope to book them again sometime! Thanks for everything, Mario and Al! read more

Used VZ for a ladies' day out visiting the vineyards on the North Fork. Al was very knowledgeable about which wineries would accept guests arriving by limo, which was helpful. He was also flexible and not at all grumpy as we changed things on the fly a couple of times during the afternoon. Would definitely call them again! read more

Sean, sean, sean.. king of tour services. Awesome, knowledgeable, fun, ect. Great experience. I recommend you ask for sean to do your tour. You will have a blast!!! Thanks for everything sean read more

Used VZ limo yesterday for my birthday wine tour with 12 other girls to North Fork and all I can say is that I have never experienced such amazing service at a reasonable price! I have been dealing with Al for the past 3 weeks when planning my birthday, and he provided me with exceptional service. He was very friendly and knowledgable. He even made an appearance during our wine tour to take pictures which was an absolute delight. Axel, our limo driver, was absolutely amazing as well. He dealt with my friends and I whom were a bunch of girls having fun and listening to music on the ride, and never once did he get annoyed. Additionally, I did not know what to expect from the lunch. However, I must say all my friends enjoyed their meals. No one was disappointed. Overall, I 100% would use this wine tour in the future and recommend it for all. Al will not let you down!! read more

Booked a wine tour for 8 girls for a bachelorette party and had a great time!! Very affordable, the limo was very nice and clean, and lunch was great. Our driver Mario was so kind and attentive, he really made the day special!! He took pictures for us and made sure we had a great time and plenty of wine!! Would definitely book again for my next occasion. read more

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found this tour. Lets start from the beginning. I was nervous because this was my first wine tour, and it was also part of the plan I made to propose to my girlfriend. Al was always an email away & answered all of my 8 million questions without getting annoyed at me. Everything went smoothly. The Beautiful Limo pulled up & we Met "Debbie with the voice." She was so warm and friendly, I knew we made the right choice right away. The tour met every expectation & Debbie helped make it extremely special. We even had time to stop at a little Pie Spot and Cider Mill! These extra little things made us feel like they truly cared about making the day special for us. By the third winery, we were a little tired. We ended up sitting with our driver "Debbie with the voice" and getting to know her a little bit which we truly enjoyed! She was amazing and I recommend that anyone taking this tour recommend her! She will go above and beyond for you, trust me! All in all, you cant beat Al's Prices. Believe me, I shopped around. You also cant beat the service. If you are looking for a winery tour to go on, this is the only one! Thanks Al and Debbie for making this one of the best days of my life. PS- she said YES! read more

Our children gave us a gift certificate for a wine tour through VZ limo. Right from the beginning I worked with Al and made the reservations with ease. He walked me through the entire process, returning my calls promptly with any questions that I may have had. We were picked up at our Hotel by Sean who greeted us with smile and a warm greeting. Sean was courteous and attentive the entire day, making sure we had everything we needed or wanted. He introduced us to someone at each winery when we arrived and was a phone call away if needed. We had an awesome experience with this company and would highly recommend VZ limo for your next wine tour in North Fork! read more

What an amazing company! From the start i spoke to Al, he was so accommodating and helpful so I knew I didn't want to go with any other company. I texted him multiple times and he always answered very quickly and made sure that all of my requests were met! Debbie was our bus driver and she was amazing! She made the wine tour such a blast whether it was taking pictures of our 28 person group, serving us lunch or dancing with our crew at V48, she was incredible! Overall, if your group is looking for a wine tour go with LiVino, its an amazing company with great staff! We had an outstanding time and I will always recommend them to friends and family. read more

Had the best day ever...our driver Debbie was part of our family by the end of the day making my son's 21st birthday a fabulous day for everyone. Thank you for Everything read more

The day turned out to be beautiful. Both vineyards were great. Osprey's Dominion was a ton of fun. What made the day even better was our fantastic bus driver, Jason. Very prompt service, caring and respectful. He made the experience so much smoother than expected. The bus was immaculate- very clean. We were a tiny disappointed the bus we had did not have a bathroom and much room to dance but we made the best of it! The birthday girls were very happy, what a great day! read more

I had the pleasure of using VZ limo to do my best friend's bachelorette party. I reached out to about 10 different companies but this one was the most complete and cost effective. I dealt w Al, who I believe is the owner. He was on top of every question I had for him. Arman was our driver. I can't say enough good things about him! He was super attentive, sweet, approachable, and an excellent driver. It was an amazing day and def this company had to do a lot with it because it made it such a smooth experience. Highly recommended read more

I had a great experience with LI Vino tours. Good and prompt customer service, and everything went as planned for a big group of 16. I worked with Al for all arrangements prior to the day, and Steve was our "host" the day of. Steve went above and beyond for us. I was a little nervous reading some of these reviews, but honestly it was such a fun, easy, uncomplicated day. I haven't been asked by the company to write this; just simply wanted to share our positive experience. read more

Last week we had a tour with LiVino tours. I was very much impressed with the level of service they provided for my family and friends. We went to 3 fine vineyards and had a delicious hot lunch which everyone enjoyed very much. We even had our own private space and service which made us feel special. The driver was very profesional and the party bus was immaculate. Excellent job guys. They even had someone take pictures of us and they posted on their Facebook account which we were able to download. They also had fun games for us to play which everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend!!! read more

We had a spectacular north fork three winery tour through LiVino. Shant was terrific in helping to plan the day and unbelievably responsive to all email inquiries. Our limo driver Steve was fantastic. He showed up right on time to pick us up and arranged everything for us at each winery we went to. He made sure everything ran seamlessly. He brought our lunch to a table outside at our second winery and brought us sodas and waters and left a box for our garbage. He was ready with the car when we were finished at each winery and was wonderful to have as a driver. We had a great day celebrating my moms 70th birthday and I am so glad we used LiVino/VZ Limo!! read more
