GREAT EXPERIENCE !!! - Five stars for this amazing experience. Marc treated us in a very unique way. We visited three amazing and lovely wineries in Napa and Sonoma, he enjoyed explaining to us the history of the California wine, the grapes, the specific micro climate that those areas have. We really appreciated his way of talking with us while he drove us around those beautiful landscapes. As an Italian, I can only say, prove it on your skin and you'll see a different experience not only as a tourist but as a local. Thanks again for all the memories !!!

Perfect Wine Tour with Anthony! - This was a last-minute booking during a work trip on a day where some meetings got canceled. I could not have been happier with the day! Anthony was absolutely FANTASTIC! From the second he picked us up and throughout the entire day! The vineyards we visited were beautiful: Peter Cellars and B. R. Cohn. There was a third stop in the middle (not a vineyard) I just can’t remember the name. The wine at all three was delicious, with the best being at B. R. Cohn. There were only six of us on the tour, so it was intimate, lovely, and enjoyable. The rather was flawless making the day simply not long enough. We opted to stay in Sausalito on the way back to grab a bite and catch the ferry back. We ate at Poggio and it was absolutely delicious! We decided to peruse Sausalito’s waterfront shops a bit and Uber back instead of catching the last ferry at 7pm. I highly recommend this Sonoma wine tour! I hope to get back soon to enjoy it a second time! Worth every penny and then some!
