5.00We had a great time. Marc was an excellent guide. The vineyards were all great. I wish that all yours were this fun!

5.00We had a great time, and can't rate this highly enough. How would you like a small group tour where the owner of the winery is waiting to greet you personally when your small group arrives at his winery? That's what Marc and his company provide. We got experts guiding us through our tastings and tours, plus an absolutely delightful location for a lunch stop. The tour was unhurried, and we had time to ask detailed questions or stroll around the properties. It was a great day we won't soon forget. If you're thinking about this kind of tour, book this now!
What a wonderful day!

5.00Our tour operator shared a lot of fun facts, stories, and lore about local landmarks, history, and the wine industry. The wine makers were also very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot while tasting some great wines.

5.00We took this wine tour while visiting the Bay area for our wedding anniversary trip as we wanted to get a glimpse of the Sonoma/Napa valley area. This tour was very fun and informative. We went with a small group of 10 and everyone was friendly. Our tour guide Anthony was very accommodating and entertaining. We went to 3 wineries and we enjoyed the dry red wines at Peter Cellars Winery the most. The ambiance/ grounds at B R Cohn Winery were absolutely beautiful and the wines at Homewood were a refreshing fruit forward spin on wines that would go well with comfort foods. I would recommend this tour to others.
Great tour

5.00Anthony was really fun and knowledgeable! He shared so much info on the Sonoma region and of course the wineries we were about to visit. All 3 wineries were enjoyable with different vibes and great wine. Anthony managed to keep on schedule so we had time for pictures at the Golden Gate plus lunch in town. Fabulous day, thank you!
The tour to book … WOW!!!

5.00The tour guide was the owner/operator. He knows some of the winery owners. BR Cohn was the medium size winery with good wines. Redder the better was good too. Peter Cellars was good but 1 of the bottles that I bought did not have the foil cap on the coork!
Great experience made better by Anthony!

5.00Anthony was the best guide we could have asked for!! He was funny and knew facts about everything we drove by! The wineries we visited were very nice, with BR Cohn being our favorite! Beautiful grounds and great wine! It was awesome they got us from our hotel and took us back so we didn’t have to worry about driving and could enjoy ourselves. Thank you Anthony for such a great trip!
