5.00Fantastic, nice to experience all the hidden gems this area has to offer. Enjoyed Fawn's tour and the picnic lunch was delicious, all local foods. The walk among the redwoods was therapeutic and magnificent. Thank you for a Saturday well spent.

5.00Our experience with Fawn was absolutely magical! From start to finish, she was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive to every little detail that made the day so special. We had an amazing time visiting a local cheesemaker and then sampling the most delicious artisan bread—such a treat! Or walk amongst the redwoods was special too. The scenic drive to the coast was stunning, and the beachside picnic that Fawn curated was simply unforgettable. Every bite, every view, and every moment felt beautifully planned and yet so relaxed and natural. We wrapped up the day with great conversation and wine at a lovely local winery, and it was the perfect ending. Fawn has such a gift for creating connection and making you feel like you're spending the day with an old friend. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Fawn, for sharing the heart of Sonoma with us!

5.00My husband and I had a truly wonderful experience touring the hidden gems of Sonoma County with Fawn. From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease — warm, genuine, and incredibly intuitive to what we needed. What we loved most was how she tailored the itinerary on the fly based on our interests, which made the day feel relaxed, personal, and far from cookie-cutter. Every stop reflected her deep knowledge and love for the area. The only downside for us was the visit to De Loach Winery at the end — it didn’t quite match the quality and vibe of the rest of the tour. But honestly, that’s a small note in what was otherwise a beautiful day. By the end of the tour, we both felt like we hadn’t just seen Sonoma, but connected with someone who really gets people. We left not just with memories — but with a new friend. Highly recommend touring with Fawn if you want the real, soulful side of wine country.
