5.00Chris was the absolute best driver for our winery day! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and took amazing care of us. Chris is very familiar with the area and is a wine maker, so was very good to have with us to teach us more about wine and wine country. He really made our day and our experience.
LISA ANDERSON is the best

5.00Fantastic day, did a private wine tour. Tour guide Sunny was amazing, kind, funny and accomodating. Her wine knowledge will blow you away. She let Folded Hills winery know it was our 20th anniversary and they gave us a few gifts with a hand written note of all the winery staff....very touching.

5.00Decided to throw a surprise trip for my fiancé four months after the birth of our son, and the team went above and beyond for us. From Skylar, who handled all the logistics and last-minute requests, to our tour guide, Sunny, who was an angel disguised as a tour guide + sommelier, we couldn’t be anymore thankful for all the hospitality. We truly enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait to be back!
Great!
