Lovely day in Sonoma - Positives; Great guide. Terrific wine. Yummy lunch. Negatives: no real negatives. Just be aware that you don’t have to have a tasting at each locale. Otherwise, expect an additional $40 per person at each winery visit.

Napa Winery Tour - The tour guide was very nice and friendly. He gave us great information about the Napa Winery but I just wanted to see the Napa Winerys even though I don't really drink. It was a nice experience.

Great trip in Sonoma! - So much fun! Our tour guide, Paul was super knowledgeable of the Sonoma Valley. He offered recommendations for our return to Napa and San Francisco. The wineries were fabulous with the exception of Mayo. The ladies working were super knowledgeable and personable, but for a third stop - standing for an hour and listening to ALL the history was just too much. Would definitely still recommend.

Average - The first two wineries we went to were so beautiful and exactly what we were expecting. Beautiful scenery and good wine. But the last two wineries were basically just a restaurant/bar. We didn’t get to see the vineyards which was disappointing.

Winery trolly ride - Nice ride to different wineries. Loved our first stop, Buena Vista. Great tour and wines. Our second stop at VJB Winery was enjoyable. We had a good lunch from Girl and the Fig and amazing gelato. Then 2 stops at very small wineries and back to Sonoma Square.
