Getting to try the different varieties of wines and food was awesome. Also, our tour guide, Teresa, was very knowledgable and shared a lot of information about the wines and the history of the area.

Lovely way to spend three hours on the plaza

Betsy_F, Apr 2023

This was a lovely tour. We sampled some delicious food and wines while strolling through the Sonoma Plaza and learning some history of the town. I particularly enjoyed the stop at Sigh for “bubbles” and a delicious cheese plate. Julie was a terrific guide. I highly recommend!

Thank you Omar for taking the time to review Teresa and our Sonoma experience around the plaza for Gourmet Food & Wine Tours. Teresa is great company and a wonderful teacher to learn more about pairings in Sonoma. We hope you will visit us next time in Napa, Yountville or Sausalito! Cheers, Renee

One of the best parts of our trip!

Stephanie G, Aug 2019

Viv was so fun and knowledgeable about all things NAPA and Cali in general! Wines and food were scrumptious! It’s nice to have a small group which provides an intimate setting throughout!

We had a wonderful time with Arlene as our guide. She was so fun and engaging. We learned a lot about Sonoma history, the square, and wine. Plus we had delicious food and wine pairings. Two thumbs up!

Excellent tour and tour guide! Arlene was so knowledgeable and sweet. Food choices and wine pairings on point. Extra pleasant surprise was that Alan from Visitors Center joined our tour and he had even more interesting info to add. Would highly recommend this tour, especially at the beginning of your trip to help guide your choices of restaurants and -places to explore.

Response from Host, Jun 2019

I am so happy to hear you had a terrific experience with Arlene! She is a gem and such a great ambassador for our town. How fun that Alan jumped in too! Thanks for sharing your review with the public here on Trip Advisor:-) Cheers, Renee

Dave C, Jul 2018

Excellent walking tour over a small area with good selection of wines in a number of wine tasting establishments, plus food in a number of locations as well. Small group of 6 with Renee who really knew her stuff. Well worth doing as all members of the party can have a drink with no worry about driving we were staying within walking distance of Sonoma Plaza. Good value compared to many escorted tours who use minibus etc.

Claudia C, Jun 2018

michele_s, Sep 2016

Renee provided an amazing experience. The 30 minute history tour around the square was an unexpected treat (especially for my husband), the food and wine pairing were great (definitely enough to be considered a meal), the group was small and friendly. A must do in Sonoma!

Peter_K, Jul 2016

This tour was so much fun! Renee does a great job selecting interesting restaurants to sample along with extras like a magnificent olive oil store and chocolate store. All restaurants were delicious! We would have loved to have more time to hear about the history of the Plaza - that would have made the tour even more meaningful.

Brenda_M, Jul 2016

Arleen was amazing!!! We had such a great afternoon learning about the history of wine country mixed with fine wines and perfect food pairings at some of the best restaurants in Sonoma! My daughters and myself felt like Arleen was a friend by the end of the tour! I will highly recommend this !!

karen t, Jun 2016

This was a fun tour and Viv was so full of life and information. Be aware this is more a tapa tasting and not a food tasting. We have been on other food tours and you were stuffed. However,they started at 11:30 and this begins at 2. It is done at 5 so you need to plan a dinner reservation!! We didn't plan that! The wine pairings were ok with meals. Walking around Sonoma plaza was so fun and so much history. A nice retreat from just wine tasting.

We would highly recommend this tour. The food was excellent and so was the wine. This is a great way to get an overview of Sonoma and taste some of the top items on the menus.

Korey B, Sep 2015

Very fun! Rene is wonderful to chat with and very friendly! Loved all the food! Wish we had more time at the oil and balsamic store! : Best truffle fries ever at BV Whiskey Bar! Seems a bit high-priced for this type of tour...but it is California, where everything is more expensive! :
