Anthony, the driver was great. Friendly, and provided helpful info on the wineries. The first winery (Firestone) was excellent! Second winery(Koehler), the sommelier was robotic and clearly didn’t want to be there. The wines were good, but didn’t buy any, they didn’t even talk to us. The grounds were nice and lunch was delicious! The 3rd winery (Brander) we were in a gravel yard under a tent at a table, surrounded by buildings. Tucked away and forgotten. They never told us anything about the winery just poured and described what was on the sheet. Lots of time between pours as well. We never saw inside the last two wineries either. The group we were with was fun, thank god. Please change up the last 2 wineries. otherwise not worth the money.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We appreciate your positive comments about Anthony's friendliness and helpful information on the wineries, particularly the first winery, Firestone.
We regret to hear about your less-than-ideal experiences at Koehler and Brander. Your feedback regarding the sommelier's demeanor at Koehler and the ambiance at Brander is crucial for us to address areas of improvement. We understand the importance of providing a comprehensive and engaging winery experience, and we take your comments seriously.
Rest assured, we are reviewing your feedback with the wineries and will make necessary adjustments to ensure a more enjoyable and informative experience for our guests. We value your insights and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an enhanced tour in the future.
Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to continuous improvement.

Wow!!! Loved the whole day. Cary was amazing. He was very detailed with fun information, extra side trip (love the olive oil I brought home), lunch and wineries all wonderful. Even the playlist for music stood out in my mind. I have to put the day on my top 10 of a lifetime! Would definitely recommend and go again.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing day with Cary, enjoying the details, side trips, delicious lunch, and fantastic wineries.
