5.00All four of us—ages 22-79–loved our wine tour with Evan! He was knowledgeable, interesting and funny. He picked us up at our VRBO in Carmel. We loved chatting with him and the other two people on the tour. I highly recommend ordering the cheese plate, which you’ll eat at the last stop.
Fantastic Afternoon Wine Tasting

5.00My husband and I really enjoyed the wine tasting tour with Evan. He is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about grape growing, winemaking and the environment of the region. I have always liked wine, but Evan has helped me really know how to 'taste' it now. I have more of an appreciation of how interesting wine is and the wonderful climate of the Carmel highlands for growing delicious wine grapes.

5.00Evan was amazing. If you're looking for a personalized intimate tour with an expert in the industry vs a canned commercial tour this is the place.
