Napa & Sonoma Elite: Exclusive 9-Hr Wine Country Journey

It was a great way to spend a girls day while visiting the Bay Area. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable and did a great job every step of the way. The wineries visited were top notch and offered both an educational and enjoyable experience. Plenty of time to spend having lunch and walking around town was the perfect way to break up the day.

Great experience to see Napa and Sonoma in a day. 2 great wineries we have never heard of. Good wine. Good people.

This was a fun trip. The wineries were nice, and our group was fun. Jeffrey was our guide, and he enhanced the experience.

Vineyards, tastings were enjoyable. Guide was good, friendly. The tour van was not very good for sightseeing due to the obstructions. Nice tour but not worth $189.

Let me preface by saying I'm not a wine connoisseur. This trip was 100% for my wife to enjoy and experience as a bucket list item. The Nicholson winery in Sonoma blew me away. Mike was our host and of the 4 wines we tried, I enjoyed each of them immensely (so much so we joined the wine club and got some wine shipped back home immediately). Each wine was aged 7 years and the history behind the family, the winemaker (who is NOT a Nicholson), and the property made for an amazing experience. There was a definite difference between the Sonoma and the Napa experiences, but more on that in a minute. After we left the Sonoma winery, we went to Sonoma Square for a 2 hour lunch/shopping experience. Overall it was very relaxing and the Square is what you'd expect from a tourist perspective (expensive shops, decent food, etc). The Napa tour at the Vango winery was more about the art collection than the wine initially. It did include a tour of the machinery and the warehouse, including a tasting from straight out of a barrel. The wines were newer and didn't have the smooth flavor we found at the previous winery, although they were still flavorful. It was an amazing experience that should be on everybody's bucket list!

It's a small group activity with attention to detail. Our driver, Jeffrey, was hilarious and informative throughout the drive and wine tastings. We visited two wineries with generous pours, with a two-hour lunch stop in Sonoma on our own. Beautiful places with rolling hills and gorgeous vineyards. We even met the owner at the second winery! Ended up with two bottles each of chardonnay, cabernet, and pinot noir. Wonderful experience!

We had a great experience with Barry at the helm. He was always providing good information and taking care of us. Excellent stories and great music. He made our tour great

The tour guide was very nice and gave us all the relevant info we needed to hear. We had all the time we needed to explore and ask questions. Highly recommended

Excellent guide! Great historical knowledge. Fabulous music soundtrack! Comfortable accommodations in the van. Very personable.

Small group of Napa & Sonoma wineries tour. Our guide, Jeffery was very informative & funny to spend a whole day with. We had a great company of people from all over the continents, made more fun with good conversation. It was a beautiful day, a big plus.
