Starting the day at Rutherford and getting such a thorough explanation of the wine-making and grape growing process was very informative and helpful. The wine there was amazing, great deal (buy a bottle, wave a tasting fee). Our driver Richard was very knowledgeable and insightful, answered any and all questions.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for a great review. Doug at Rutherford Ranch does a great job hitting all the bases of the winery there, and you are correct, their wines are amazing and a great deal. Cheers!
A must do!

Wonderful way to spend a Sunday
Soren_B, Apr 2024
Paul our host was informative and jovial. Winery visits were good apart from the Mario Andretti winery where the host did not know much about wine and lacked charm and charisma. Lunch was good and everything else was perfect
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad that you had a good experience despite the one winery. Cheers.

Great tour!!!
David_F, Jan 2024
The Rutherford Hill Winery tour was exceptional. Our guide was very knowledgeable who provided specifics to vineyard cultivation and production. He had a great sense of humor that provided an enjoyable environment. Our bus/limo driver was also very good. Very accommodating and friendly. The lunch and wine tasting was fantastic! The wine guides at the last two wineries were also very good and knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
We agree that Doug at Rutherford Ranch does a wonderful tour. We're glad that you enjoyed your day with us.

uncooperative
Pam_C, Jan 2024
Uncooperative company. Back to back winter storms cancelled flights with no internet/phones and company refuses to refund or reschedule for future times - not even a partial credit. $250 paid with no refund options stating they were out money. I'm sure they made money as this was a trolley that had other people booked and not just us so not sure how they were out money.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hello Pam. We did not receive any information on why you were requesting a refund. If it was the case of cancelled flights, circumstances beyond your control, the best thing to do would have been to reach out to us and explain the situation, in which case we would have been glad to work with you. Unfortunately, without a 24-hour notice of cancellation, or any notice prior to the start of the tour, the number of guests that we report is the number of lunches that we pay for, since lunch is included in the ticket price. You no-showed without communicating, or at least cancelling your reservation on the third-party site that you booked on. Therefore, how were we suppose to know your situation, let alone offer any kind of credit back? This review is incredibly unjustified, and creates a false personification of the wine trolley operations.
It was a cold rainy day,...
Kent_M, Dec 2023
It was a cold rainy day, and they substituted a comfy van. Knowledgeable guide; friendly travel mates; four tastings including one with delicious full course hot lunch. Trip ran long, which was fine with me. Overall, a fun tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for the nice review. We're happy that you enjoyed it. Happy New Year.
