Highly Recommended: A Day of Great Wine and Even Better People

5.00Paul was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. As a solo traveler, that made all the difference for me. I was in San Francisco for work during the week and had the weekend free to explore, and this tour was the perfect choice. The group was fantastic—we started the day as strangers and ended it as friends (at least for the day!). The wine tasting itself was outstanding: insightful commentary, beautiful wine country, and truly excellent wines. This experience exceeded my expectations, and I’d absolutely do it again. Highly recommended!

5.00A really thorough, informative, and overall enjoyable tour. Anthony is the best guide someone can ask for, and makes the experience of learning about Sonoma, the wineries, and San Francisco as a whole very enjoyable. I highly recommend this to both avid wine drinkers and those who are just beginning to learn.
Take this tour!

5.00Take this tour! It’s fantastic. Smaller groups, excellent guide, lots of historical tidbits along the ride. Visited three smaller wineries and had three different experiences. Each had its unique style of tastings. Can’t say enough positive remarks about the comfort of a smaller tour, the personalization, and information shared. There was a bathroom stop which was much appreciated and previews of each stop as we were arriving. Great, great tour. I’ve toured all the the world and absolutely recommend this one!
Great experience and great wine

5.00The trip was so much fun! Marc was a great host and I don't think my family and I would have been able to travel as extensively in Sonoma without this tour.
Perfect Day in the San Franciso area
