Too expensive for what is included

Therese_E, Jul 2023

Trip was too expensive for what it includes. The best part was stopping for lunch and having photos near the golden bridge.

Winery selections for...

RaYun_K, Jul 2023

Winery selections for this tour were not really great - the more scenic wineries in sonoma are not included.

Great wine and great fun!

Karrie_K, May 2023

We had an unbelievably fun time with Jerry. His deep and broad knowledge of the area, wine and all of the culture surrounding it made the experience very special. We learned so much about how to taste, and think about wine. Highly recommended!!!

Outstanding Tour!

Ulysses_H, May 2023

Our Tour Guide Randy was excellent. I definitely learned a lot from him about the history of San Francisco, Sonoma and Napa Valley. The wineries we visited had great products and I go again for sure.

Our guide Joe was very...

Lucille_F, May 2023

Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable about San Francisco and told us things about the wine and area we never knew! Had lots of fun and delicious wine in sonoma!

Disappointed

Rachel_D, May 2023

Was only told the evening before it was cancelled via WhatsApp message as no one else had booked the tour. Would have been nice to be informed earlier considering international travellers don’t always have internet… plus side speedy full refund thank you!

Sonoma wine country tour

Barbara_O, May 2023

The places our tour guide showed us in addition to his commentary and information supplied while driving along. The vineyards and wine were great as was the lunch in Sonoma. Enjoyed the company of the other people on the tour.

My experience

JOAQUIN_M, Apr 2023

Worth it!

Gabriela_C, Apr 2023

The tour was excellent! Jerry was so great as he was very knowledgeable and made the tour a fun experience! You get to try lots of different wines :)

Rainy fun day

EVANGELOS_G, Mar 2023

Very enjoyable tour. Visited two wineries. While it was a rainy day, we still enjoyed our guide Ulrich and the knowledge he shared with us. Also, we had a great lunch in Sonoma at the Fig and the Girl. And of course we enjoyed the wine.

Best half day trip ever!

Jeffrey_B, Mar 2023

Ulrich was our tour guide and he showed us a delightful overview of Sonoma! We visited a small boutique winery that won many gold and double gold medals. The wines were terrific! Ulrich also showed us many San Francisco sights, and even drove us down the “crooked street”!! So much fun!

An afternoon with Ulrich

Heloise_W, Mar 2023

We enjoyed Ulrich’s experience and Homewood Winery. We enjoyed seeing the Sonoma County and the square.

First time in California

Love Wine? Love This Tour.

Nikki_K, Nov 2022

I am a sort of wine snob and even I learned more appreciation for wine during this tour. To say Ulrich is a tour guide is a vast understatement of what he taught and showed us. Definitely one of the best experiences. Met some new friends and enjoyed some fantastic wine. Definitely do not hesitate to take this tour.
