not really worth the cost, just book the reservations yourself, if the booking include the tasting fee then this would be worth the cost. each tasting fee is 40 to 50 dollars per person but $600 to drive you to the locations is excessive. if you use the service, Dave is very informative, but nothing you could not do when you get to the locations as they all spend great time with you, just to expensive for the value of the service.

David at Howling Wine Tours was fantastic! He planned a great day at three wineries, handled a last-minute change with ease, and even gave us a super handy list of Healdsburg restaurants with food notes and prices. Fun, flexible, and highly recommend!

David was helpful from beginning to end. When we found out the wineries, we wanted to visit on a Tuesday were closed, he found a way to set things up at other venues to meet our needs. Our day was pleasant; we met some great people while enjoying some fabulous wines. When finished we asked if he could stop at a market to pick up a few things for dinner and he was more than happy to accommodate. Great business to deal with! Thanks David - GL

Can I give SIX stars?!? David was such a great host for our anniversary adventure through 3 Sonoma AVA’s! He’s knowledgeable and cordial with 30+ years living in the area. He listened to exactly what we wanted, which varietals we preferred and used his connections to plan a perfect day! Don’t even think twice about booking a tour with David! Perfect day!!!

David was such a gracious host with great knowledge of the area. He got us into an extra winery when we had extra time. I was in a wheelchair and he spent the extra time getting in and out of the car and into the wineries. We had an amazing day!

David was a great guide. He took us to amazing vineyards we wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. Everyone was super friendly and enjoyed sharing their wine with us. David had lots of information to share and set up tastings for us, so there was no legwork on our end. At one point during the day we ran into traffic, David neatly bypassed the traffic without a significant delay. All in all, a great day.

David was wonderful! So knowledgeable and highly responsive, I knew my husband and I were in good hands. If you want to enjoy Sonoma the right way, look nowhere else but to Howling Wine Tours. David planned our itinerary based on our preferences and we loved each stop. Book now!
