Our experience started with me calling because we had gone through our credit card company so there was some confusion. Kris, the owner, called me back 3 times to make sure everything was settled and we were taken care of. Above and beyond customer support and was such a joy to talk to!! Fast forward to our tour day and we were SO excited that Kris was our tour guide! His passion for this company was such a beautiful thing to see. The tour was phenomenal! The food and the drinks were top notch and we absolutely loved that it was a cultural experience! We can not recommend this experience more and we can NOT wait to do another one! Thank you Kris for such an extraordinary experience, you made our day one we will never forget

I really wanted to enjoy this experience. I thought it was such a cool idea but it was very…read morelackluster. The biggest problem was with the transportation. It was an old van that had a leaking roof so water was dripping on the floor the entire ride. The tv monitor on the van did not work. We were told we would go to three restaurants downtown for wine tasting and small plates. We only went to two restaurants. One restaurant was downtown and only served a one charcuterie board with the wine that our entire party had to share. The other restaurant was a pizzeria in a strip mall. The driver was not accommodating and did not clean the bus after the previous group before us. I spent more than a thousand dollars for a dissatisfying experience and did not get my money's worth. Do NOT RECOMMEND!

The best that I can figure, Cascade Winery is the only true wine tasting room in Grand Rapids. We…read morevisited this diamond in the rough last week. Being from SW Michigan where we can get to about 50 wineries in less than 40 minutes, I wasn't expecting Cascade Winery to be in an industrial type complex. But I was pleasantly surprised that the tasting room was pretty nice and quite large. They have lots of seating in the tasting room and another room for private events. Our pourer was the son of the owner. He was very knowledgeable and fun to speak with. We tried all the reds, a few whites, and a specialty wine. They were all very good. Cascade Winery doesn't grow their own grapes. A good portion come from Michigan and others come from California. The winery is also known as the Jaden James Brewery. We did not taste any of their beers or their mead. We came home with three bottles - Raspberry Chocolate Silk, Symphony Blush, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm excited to share them with my friends.

I'm gluten free, so the beers were a no-go, but I did enjoy a nice selection of wine (the red blend was my favorite) and hard ciders (a mix of raspberry and strawberry was nice and mellow, but the blueberry hard cider was great as well). We also were able to try the jalapeño wine. Not what I was expecting, but a great experience and a new taste! The atmosphere here is nice and down to earth. I felt very comfortable and the people behind the counter are really friendly, and eager to help. I'll come back here for some relaxing time to enjoy a nice glass of wine or cider.

They gave us recommendations on where to go next. I had the Honey Brown. It was amazing! I definitely think people should come in and check this place out! You won't be disappointed!!

Horrible! My…read moreexperience began really well - the company quoted a very fair estimate and seemed great/helpful during the planning stage of our event. I had arranged for an 11AM pick-up for our party of 13 people to take a wine tour in Southwest Michigan. At 11:15AM, the driver had not arrived yet and I began calling the company and "Scott, the Manager" - only to receive voice recordings from each. At approximately 11:30AM, I received a "txt message" reading - "Sorry, our shuttle bus broke down on the highway. It is not good. The turbo blew. All we can do is refund your deposit. Sorry." No one from the company had the courtesy to call me and personally apologize or offer assistance to find another option for our wine tour transportation, which was an activity we had planned our weekend around --- we had traveled to SW Michigan from out of town to celebrate our friend's wedding engagement. This company may be cheaper than a few other options out there, but please note - if an unforeseen "break-down" occurs, this company will leave you hanging... not what I would want anyone to experience for a wedding/special event of any kind. Use at your own risk. (Also, I have not received my deposit back yet... another frustrating aspect of this situation.)
