A perfect experience! - A perfect experience. We had exactly the right time at two wineries and two leisurely hours in Sonoma. The tour was not rushed as some I’ve been on where three or four wineries or tasting rooms are squeezed in leaving little time at any and not enough time to enjoy Sonoma. Jeffrey is a very knowledgeable and personable guide!

A great day! - This tour was fantastic! Guide Jake was lovely, very knowledgeable and shared so much information with the group. We had poor visibility of the Golden Gate Bridge in the morning due to fog, but Jake went out of his way to make a stop on the way back and we could take photos.
The 2 wineries we visited were great. It was a fun day, would highly recommend!

Fun and Informative Trip! - We had a great time on our tour of Wine Country! We had a wonderful driver/guide, named Jeffrey, who was full of knowledge about the area and wine - but best, he was fun and funny! There were 4 stops, two food markets and two wineries - you never felt like you were on the bus too long. We just got back to Canada with our 3 packages of Vella cheese and 5 bottles of wine that we bought on the tour - we can’t wait to have them for a special occasion, reminiscing about our memorable experience in wine country.

Great way to spend a day as a tourist or local! - Such a great tour. A lot is packed in but there is also time to spend as you wish. I wish we went to one more winery though. The prep email was super helpful in knowing what to expect.

Nice, easy tour - Nice tour. Easy pickup and drop off. Guide, Jake, was very nice and helpful with all things tour and San Francisco related. The wineries we went to were nice. Only downside was the tastings were, we thought, a little pricey on top of paying for the tour and lunch for the day. Otherwise a good tour and we enjoyed it!

Good tour average vineyards - It was a good experience. The tour guide was friendly and open to help. The wineries we visited were average. The tasting fee was $35 each and they served a too small portion of the different wines in the same glass with no real explanation about the grape or wine but the history of the vineyard and awards they have won. It was not bad but average. We made a stop at Sonoma square for lunch and optional tasting on your own. It was the best experience of the tour. I tried Highway 12 and they were very friendly to explain each one of the wines and even the tasting included 4 different wines they offered two additional at no cost.
