this espresso episode of the Tourpreneur Podcast with Shane Whaley,
Nick reveals how five years ago, he started Wicked Wine tours in
British Columbia and recently a Kelowna Weed Tour!
How To Start a Weed Tour Business.
Nick tells us that weed tours are
similar to wine tours, there's no consumption in the vehicles. They
take their guests to either a grow operation or an extraction
facility,
"A lot of people, maybe, have had
experience with cannabis but they really don't know a heck of a lot
about it. Very similar to our wine guests. "I like to drink wine
but I don't know a lot about it." says
Nick.
He continued: "We educate them on
the plant, male, females, indica, sativa, CBD, THC, all that kind
of stuff. Now they're armed with a little bit of
knowledge.
Off we go to the dispensaries. They
have private appointments with the
budtenders.
They can purchase their product, and
many of our guests are from out of town so they don't want to fly
with their cannabis which is legal in Canada, but if you're an
international guest, obviously it
isn't.
They get to do a little shopping for
their product while they're in town for a few days, and the
feedback's been amazing."
