It had a lot of good facts. Wished we could have seen more of napa and gone to bigger wineries in napa. We also felt like our tour guide didn’t want us to drink on the wine tour and have fun. We overheard her say she doesn’t like drunk people on her tour. Even though it’s a wine tour. The first two wineries were very “meh.” We loved the entertainment level at mayo Winery and felt we bought more wine and had more fun when the tasting guide was fun. It was an overall cool experience but could have been more fun with better wineries and people.paolobV2025HB

Kimmy, our guide and driver, was simply great: very friendly, funny, ready to help and accomodate although on a tight schedule. The Woods were amazing and we were lucky enough to finde them almost empty of people (on a Tuesday, early in the morning - also had extra luck to get there in a small group with a van instead of a bus). The wineries were really fine, especially the last one was great and we had some special deals coming there with the tour. I booked also the extra lunch, which was very fine and served by friendly hosts - the Sonoma Laza where we ate had a lot of different options though, and you will get enough wine anyway, so it is probably not a must do. We were mostly in Sonoma County, which I appreciated a lot and am perfectly happy with - the visit in Napa Valley was rather brief, that is why, if you really want to get a lot of *Napa* Valley, this might not be the most fitting tour for you. Anyway, I would recommend it anytime! Thank you for a great day, Kimmy!Patricia_P

The tour guide, Doug, was really great. He was personable, knowledgeable, entertaining and well organized. I appreciated supporting small boutique wineries and the wines were all quite good. The morning stop at Muir Woods before the crowds came was a real treat - very beautiful and serene.
