Paul Anthony is the best!! - Paul Anthony was the BEST!! We had a drive from Coronado and he filled it with great info on the areas we went through and the history of San Diego. He was fun, engaging and took pics fir us! 5 Stars for him. 🌟
The wineries were beautiful with great views. The charcuterie at one and pizza with home made breadsticks at the other were wonderful.

Excellent Winery Tour - Paul Anthony was an excellent driver and guide for what turned out to be a private tour. We went to excellent wineries. Beautiful settings and great wine. Paul Anthony has great wine knowledge and a great manner in educating as well as telling good stories and information on the area.

Good information plus food and wine. - We had a great time on this Chauffeured Adventure. Paul Anthony was very informative, sharing information on everything from San Diego history to how to taste wine to the ownership of the vineyards. Group size was perfect, about 8 people. You get to taste a good amount of wines and yummy food is included. If you can, get to the last vineyard at sunset, the views are amazing.

Paul Anthony was the best!
I don’t think the experience is worth $570 (for two, including tip) but Paul Anthony made the experience SO fun & we overall had a great time.

Tour guide not just a driver - There were very few details available on the itinerary ( how many wineries, how far away) that would have been helpful to know. I didn't expect the driver to talk the whole time. The word chauffeur implies a driver not a tour guide. I would have rather had the time to visit with my friends. The information was really geared towards wine novices and not experienced wine lovers. Information was very remedial rather that actual information about the grape varieties and wine style. I enjoyed the wine at the first vineyard Bernardo but the place was very touristy. The second place has excellent views but the wine was so-so. There was plenty of food but no choice in what you get unless you specify up front with dietary restrictions. The pizza had lots of pork products on it, some of which don't agree with me. I thought we would get to pick toppings but that was not the case. The guide was very friendly but it just wasn't what I thought I signed up for.
