This was our second time on the wine-tasting tour, and we couldn’t be happier that we returned! Last year, we celebrated our anniversary in Healdsburg and our tour guide was Greg, and he made the experience so special that we knew we had to come back. This time, Carol was our guide, and she was just as exceptional. Her deep knowledge of wine, warm personality, and passion for the region made the day even more enjoyable. The wines were, as always, incredible, and Carol’s thoughtful recommendations really enhanced our experience. We love the town, the people, and the overall wine-tasting experience, which is always elevated by the genuine hospitality of the guides. Carol’s engaging storytelling and attention to detail made the tour feel personal, and she took the time to ensure we were comfortable and having a great time. This tour has become a must-do for us whenever we're in the area, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again for making our anniversary special last year, and for another unforgettable experience this time around!

What a great tour! We went to 3 boutique tasting rooms and a tea house. Each had a unique story with staff that was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic of their product. Our guide, Danae, was a great host. She provided us with great insight and suggestions for our stay in Healdsburg. I would 100% recommend this tour!

My partner and I had a wonderful time with the best tour guide, Denee! Thank you so much, Denee! We had a lot of fun exploring the various stops and learning more about the different wines and teas! It was nice to have a private tour just for us and learn about Healdsburg as well. Denee took photos of us along the way, and it was a great way for my partner to celebrate his 46th! We definitely recommend this tour with Denee! Happy Holidays!

We had a small group with a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide (thank you Carol!) and we were treated to boutique wines unique to the area, paired with finger foods highlighting both the food and beverage of the area. We all had a really good time. Highly recommend.

Two friends and I chose to spend Christmas in Napa Valley for the holidays. This was one tour we wanted to take. Carrie was fantastic and we had a fabulous experience in Healdsburg. We really enjoyed walking around the town and looking in the shops and visiting the Christmas tree in the plaza. Williamson Wines was our first stop. We had a fun time with host Tony Walker. He educated us on wines and served the most scrumptious charcuterie. Carrie was very knowledgeable. The other people on the tour were great to hang out with and share the experience. I highly recommend this tour!!
