Sonoma: Votre Expérience Vinicole Privée Inoubliable

What a great day we had! Tony provided outstanding service and put together the perfect itinerary for us! The wine was great, the day was gorgeous, and the experience will be a forever memory!

Tony is one of the most knowledgeable (and fun!) drivers in the Napa/Sonoma region. Not only will he take you to some of the most impressive and stunning wineries in the area (do a combo of he picks some/you pick some), he also can take some amazing pictures of you and your group! A memorable day and Tony made it better!

I don’t usually write reviews unless there is something negative to say…BUT the exact opposite is true in this case. Tony literally made our trip. From his upbeat and charming personality, to his impeccable driving, to his vast knowledge of the area and wineries-He was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure our trip went smoothly making sure we were always on time, walking us to the door at every tasting, making sure our reservations were all set, and accommodating last minute requests. He was always ready and waiting to pick us up before we ever even made it to the parking lot after a tasting and he helped with shipping arrangements for wine we couldn’t mail directly from the wineries themselves. He did it all. By the end of our trip Tony wasn’t just our driver but our friend! I would not return to Napa without first ensuring he was available. You will not be disappointed, and in fact, will be surprised at how much of a positive difference Tony can make for your trip!

I will never again do a wine country trip without the services of Wine Country Confidential, and specifically, Tony Russo. Their services make planning a trip just seamless. Plus, Tony's sense of humor and overall generous and considerate personality are just the cherry on top! Tony offers private transportation for you and up to 6 people around wine country. The duration of his services is dependent on your itinerary, but the best part is that he is there on time to pick you up, and ensures you are on time to each of your tastings. I also appreciate his expertise in planning an ideal wine experience by providing suggestions to minimize driving time and maximize wine tasting experiences. If you're not familiar with where to go, he can help you curate your experience too! If you don't have time to call and book the wineries, you can authorize Tony to book for you. What we also appreciated was how much he took care of us. On a previous wine trip, when it was raining, he was such a gentleman and made sure we all had umbrella coverage so we didn't get wet. He also makes sure we have some sort of meal planned, whether it's as simple as picking up delicious sandwiches from a local grocer, to eating at a restaurant. This is extremely important when you have a full day of wine tasting! All in all, a Napa trip will no longer be complete without Tony. We love him to pieces! My advice is to book at least a couple months in advance to guarantee some sort of availability!

Tony was a fantastic tour guide. We visited 3 vineyards and had a “picnic” (not so much of a picnic due to the weather). All was well thought out and gave a good overview of the Napa Valley wines. This tour was private and great as a team building day. Thank you, Tony, for the great day! - your Swedish guests

We look forward to taking more trips with Tony! He is amazing and so knowledgeable about the area and wine! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Tony is absolutely incredible! He took a group of us on a private wine tour in Sonoma, where we got to experience four different wineries. Many of us hadn't seen each other during the pandemic, so it was a great way to reunite and Tony made our day very special. Leading up to the trip, he recommended a bunch of winery options so that we would have many to choose from. While on the tour he made sure we arrived at each appointment in a timely manner and always walked us in to ensure everything was going according to plan. This was our second time booking a private wine tour experience with Tony, and I guarantee it is not our last! Can't wait to go again.

Girls weekend…so you already know we were not easy...we are loud and love our wine. We also wanted to be Covid-safe. Tony booked our day, then re-booked when we got indecisive. Communication was excellent. He picked us up on time and we immediately started being a pain since we wanted bread before our trip. Tony was accommodating and so much fun despite what we threw his way. Our winery experiences were wonderful. Tony worried that our vegan needs would not be met so he found us a great little market to stock up on munchies for the car. The entire experience was perfect and wrapped up by us singing very badly all the way back to SF. Our ride was comfortable and clean. Tony took excellent care of us and ensured that we had a memorable day. We would do it all over again and not change a thing. Highly recommend to anyone, and give our love to Tony!

Every part of this experience was amazing! We went to three different wineries; all perfectly curated for the experience we were looking for— lesser known wineries off the beaten path. We visited wineries I never would have even known about without Tony, and the experience was once in a lifetime. Highly recommend Tony and his tour for anyone who is into wine and visiting this area— I don’t think it gets any better than this!!

When I reached out to Tony, he helped me create a day that was unique for our family's needs and requests. He was on time picking us up, his car was comfortable and clean and he was so friendly and informative all day. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great day- bringing movies for our kids and offering to take pictures of our group! We had a great day with Tony and would highly recommend him.
