5.00What a great experience! Abby did an awesome job sharing information about Sonoma while also keeping us moving. Doing this as our first Sonoma activity really helped us know what to do with the rest of our time here. The food and drink stops along the way were all fantastic too. Highly recommend!

5.00I have been on 4 of these wonderful food tours and each time I bring different friends or family and it is always a hit!! Mia chooses the best restaurants and wineries and food places to visit. We come back on our own and purchase from these Food Tour stops. Our guide is always very knowledgable about the history of Sonoma which makes this 3 hour tour so fun. They take pictures of your group and allow you to download the pictures for you to share and enjoy. If you are making a vacation or even a weekend, I strongly suggest this Sonoma Food Tour!!! (it is moderate walking and lots of stops)

5.00Perfect i'm glad we did at the end of our trip cause you travel around drinking a lot of wine going to the vineyards. It's all great but we did this the last day before we're leaving. I think it was a perfect day to wind down and get ready to leave.
Enjoy the Food Wine & History Tour of Sonoma

5.00I would suggest that everyone visiting Sonoma experience this tour. The food & wine tastings & the lunch are all wonderful. The talks given on the history of buildings we entered & passed as we walked by, added so many interesting facts on the area. Abby was wonderful & had a wealth of information on things to do in the area, restaurants, & more. I loved it.
Love Sonoma

5.00We had such a great time on this tour. Deborah was a terrific guide. She shared tons of information about Sonoma in a fun and engaging manner. Everything we tasted, from the chocolate to the Mexican dish, was absolutely delicious. Wine, champagne and the “Mia”rita was top notch. I can’t recommend this enough.
