Gary was a great guide and very knowledgeable of Sonoma and the wineries. He has great relationships with the vineyards and took us to 3 great wineries. The group on board the bus quickly became friends and had an awesome time. Highly recommend..

This was a great tour of three different wineries: Imagery Wines, Deerfield Ranch Winery and Loxton Wines. Great if you want to experience different varies and styles. Each winery had different wines to taste, and the measures were good and no hard sell. We ended up buying wines at two of them, so waived our tasting fees. Lewis was a great guide, interesting and helpful but not in your face. The packed lunch was good as well. It was a small sized group, which was more comfortable and manageable, and the weather was fantastic. Definitely recommended - next time, the Napa tour!

My sister and I went on the small group tour of Sonoma in late September this year and had a lovely afternoon. Army was our tour guide and he did a wonderful job explaining where we were going and the history of the area. Our tour had 14 people, included a couple that had been on the tour previously. Ang and her partner from Utah helped break the ice on the bus and by the end we were all talking and laughing like old friends. The wineries were all a little different but the wine was great at all of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour again.
