Ron S.

Ron S. has been driving for Crush Beer & Wine Tours since 2019 and brings both reliability and personality to every trip. A part-time bus driver for the Rush-Henrietta School District, Ron also drives for Crush on weekends and throughout the summer. He holds a CDL license and is always ready to step up when needed.

A proud U.S. Air Force veteran, Ron is known for his friendly attitude and easy conversation. Married to his wife, Carol, for many years, he often enjoys taking her on scenic drives through the Finger Lakes, especially to her favorite stop, Inspire Moore Winery on Canandaigua Lake.

Ron’s personal favorite is Keuka Lake. He loves the quiet dirt roads, the peaceful views, and the memories they bring back. His go-to winery is Bully Hill, where he’s a big fan of Sir Walter’s wine and even friends with Sir Walter’s son. When tours stop at Bully Hill for lunch, Ron is thrilled—he knows firsthand why it’s been rated the #1 restaurant on Keuka Lake.

Guests love Ron’s knowledge, storytelling, and genuine connection to the region. Whether it’s wine, history, or travel, Ron can chat with anyone and make every tour memorable.
