4 | LUXlife Magazine ork and Keg Tours is a small, family-owned business that cares deeply about its home region of Loudoun County, Northern Virginia. Nich, Julissa, and the team pride themselves on being active members of this community, which is one that values its local heritage and traditions, all whilst extending open arms to the tourist trade. Famed for its Loudoun County wine tours, this business is situated in a hidden gem of a landscape, a gorgeous destination that makes some of the best local alcoholic beverages that the US has to offer. Providing the perfect wine tasting tour and other similar experiences across Northern Virginia’s wineries and breweries, Cork and Keg Tours stands out by simply providing an unparalleled guest experience. This can be seen in the more than 200 five-star reviews left by delighted customers, and Nich is immensely proud of the fact that not a single review in the company’s history has ever been less than five stars. Thus, upon purchasing the business back in December last year, Nich and Julissa had impeccable standards to uphold. Thankfully, they have done this remarkably well, ushering in a seamless transition and putting their own unique spin on the guest experience to continue to diversify these fantastic tours, which see the red carpet rolled out to all guests at every stop. As Nich explains, “our guests receive VIP treatment, including access to member only wines, tasting rooms, and reservations.” The high of this experience does not dip between stops, as the transport provided is almost as special as the locations themselves. As Nich details, “we provide transportation in a one-of-a-kind custom designed Mercedes Sprinter Limo Van, with a fully stocked wet bar, Bluetooth surround sound speakers, and two 40-inch TVs.” This commitment to keeping the party going is something that defines the spirit of every Cork and Keg Tour, and when this is combined with the VIP access afforded to Northern Virginia’s best wineries and breweries, every member of a group is guaranteed an unforgettable experience and memories that will last a lifetime. This all starts with a great first impression, as the company will offer all guests a champagne reception to set the tone and hint at the luxury experience that will unfold over the course of the day. A welcome speech underpins the personalised nature of these tours, with everyone toasting to making terrific memories together. To ensure a streamlined itinerary throughout the duration of the tour, the team will always get to the rendezvous at least 15 minutes early, depart on time, and keep to a strict schedule to avoid delays and disappointments.
