Our guide Mia was very knowledgeable about the area history and the food places that we visited. The tour was both educational and delicious. The places visited and the foods and beverages sampled were a good representation of Sonoma. Portion sizes were just right.

We had a wonderful time on our food tour with Abby!(even in the rain!) Fun, educational and informative. All of our stops were outstanding. Bought some cheese! The Mexican restaurant had an amazing dish! We need to get the recipe! Never had an Olive tasting before! That was interesting! Food at the wine bar was great and our last stop was to sample chocolate. Who doesn't like Chocolate! We highly recommend this tour! It broke up the week with a nice walking food with food.jennyz724
