Wonderful Day! - This was a wonderful day. The 3 wineries we visited were all very unique and enjoyable for different reasons. The wines varied in quality and each winery had a very different atmosphere. But the best part of this tour was our guide Anthony. He was full of interesting anecdotes and so engaging that the trip was definitely elevated by his presence and participation. It would have been nice to have a bit more time at the lunch stop in Sonoma to explore the area around the square a bit more, but this is a trip I would highly recommend.

Small group, good wine - Getting picked up at our hotel was a benefit that bigger tours didn’t offer. The 3 tastings were all good. The hour lunch break on our own was a nice. The choice of whether to take the ferry back from Sausalito or ride back in the van was great. Most were tipsy or tired but we took the ferry.

Sonoma Wine Tour - Great Experience! - This was a perfect way to experience California wine country. The tour group was small which made our visits to three area wineries intimate and personable. There was no pressure to buy either, which was nice. Our guide Anthony was entertaining and informative. It was like have a family member take us around the area. The van is a bit cozy, but it was such a pleasure getting to know the others on board. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a day away from San Francisco.

Fun Wine Tour - The tour and guide were amazing. Anthony was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, with two out of the three wineries worth a visit. The bus was clean and comfortable and water available during the trip. Anthony's lunch recommendations were spot on. Absolutely have no hesitation in recommending this to others when they visit San Francisco. We had a great time - Dani C.
