Craft your perfect day in Wine Country. Tailored tours, hidden gems, and genuine hospitality.
Let me be your guide. Unlike most wine tours, I fully customize the experience for each guest, ensuring they have the best day possible in Wine Country. After booking, I send my guests a questionnaire that I reference to plan their day based on their wine preferences, budget, and overall experience.
Backed by years of hospitality experience at world-class wineries, I possess unique industry connections to unlock doors even the general public can't reach.
Having personally visited over 300 wineries myself, I have a wealth of knowledge to connect you with your new favorite hidden gems.
Easygoing and passionate about hosting, I love sharing my love for Wine Country and showing you a truly unforgettable time.

Fantastic Healdsburg Wine Tour

5.00I would recommend Chris again and again! I wasn't familiar with Healdsburg and he recommended a mix of wineries to match our interests. Beyond that he and his delightful wife provided a beautiful lunch for us at the perfect winery for a picnic. It was my sister's birthday and they even had a cake and candles for her. Top notch! Book Chris, you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic day with a wonderful host

5.00Chris was fantastic! He was very easy to communicate with, he was organized, on time, very well versed, and so accommodating. We had a van for 7 of us, so was very comfortable. He took us to 3 lovely wineries and ended it off with a brewery. We learned so much about the area and had a most lovely lunch prepared by his wife! He went above and beyond as there were some who did not drink wine and at the end of the day recommended a terrific restaurant and dropped us right there! Thank you Chris so very much for a truly lovely day!!!
Incredible Tour of Sonoma!

5.00Where to start? Chris was an incredible host for our wine tour day in Sonoma County! He helps plan your trip to exactly what your group will enjoy and can find wineries that most would never know of. Chris is very responsive and easy to work with. His wife is a chef and you can choose to have a picnic lunch hand made by her, which we did, and it was absolutely delicious! He picked smaller wineries that had such personal touches to them. To top it off, a phone was forgotten on the bus and Chris dropped it off the next day at a winery we were visiting. It was above and beyond service. If we make our way back to the area, we will book with Chris for sure!
Great day!

5.00We had such a great time with Chris! He picked us up from our hotel in Healdsburg and drove us around to some beautiful spots nearby. Then we went to three vineyards that he picked based on our preferences. We loved how small and unique they were and walked away with a few bottles of wine! Chris was super knowledgeable and also fun to hang out with all day. We highly recommend this tour and couldn’t imagine doing one with anyone else!
Take the tour!

5.00Chris is a fantastic host to take your group around to wine tastings! I really appreciated how personable he was in conversation. He comfortably weaved together information about wine making, added color on each vineyard, and politely kept us on-schedule (not always the easiest task). His wife also made us delicious salads and sandwiches to enjoy at our tastings. I highly recommend him for any group going to wine country!
Wonderful Tour!

5.00What an amazing day with Chris! He planned every detail out and the wineries he hand-selected for us were exceptional. He shared his knowledge of the wine industry with a perfect balance of information, good humor and humility. It was our first trip to California's wine country and we would not hesitate to hire Chris again for our next trip. Some great family memories were made - we are longing to go back already!
A perfect day!

5.00Chris is a wonderful guide-- he picks you up in a very comfortable vehicle, is polite and has a great knowledge of the area. I learned a lot from him and felt entirely comfortable. He took us to 3 wineries, and we had the loveliest picnic at Pestoni Family Estate Winery, packe dby his wife who is a foodie! He even brought a white tablecloth! Later, in downtown, he stepped away from our tasting at WALT Wines and surprised us with a box of perfect little cupcakes from the Cupcake-ery across the street! Just a beautiful touch. I strongly recommend Chris and when I go back, I'm going to call him again!
100% Recommend!

5.00Hillary and I had an incredible Airbnb experience with Chris as our guide through Napa Valley. Chris's expertise and knowledge about the region truly enhanced our trip. The visit to Frank Family Winery was a highlight and we savored every moment there. Chris's wife prepared a delectable charcuterie lunch that perfectly complemented the wine tasting. His ability to tailor the experience to our preferences was exceptional. We wholeheartedly recommend Chris as a guide, and we're already looking forward to booking with him again when we return to Napa Valley. Thanks for an unforgettable day!
