Perfect blend of experiences... balanced attentiveness with ability to adjust to expectations. Highly recommend! - Darren was a perfect blend of knowing when to be attentive and provide space during our tours. His knowledge of best opportunity for an enjoyable wine tasting, atmosphere and ability to adjust for our presence was deeply appreciated. All of our stops were very enjoyable for different reasons and we would definitely pair with him again for our next trip to this region. Not knowing a lot about the winerries in this area made me a little nervous about seeking an outsider's help, but Darren was very polite and professional and great driver and company between stops. Highly recommend.

San Diego Wine Tour with Darren Manson - The Private San Diego County Wine Tour with host Darren Manson was fabulous. The tour was absolutely one of the best tours that can be had. Darren is a very pleasant, warm, friendly driver with tons of knowledge about San Diego and the world (no exaggeration). His tour is educational, entertaining and extremely interesting. He made us feel so comfortable -- as though we knew him forever. If we return to San Diego, we know we will book one of his Alba Tours. He's the best!

Great Tour without Needing a Passport! - Amazing tour, great wineries with generous tasting pours and without going into Mexico! Darren was knowledgeable about the wineries and a safe driver; I was solo for this trip and I didn’t have to worry about a thing which was great since I’m normally the one wrangling everyone else on a trip. It was a great, stress-free experience.
