Sip & Savor Sonoma: Exclusive Half-Day Wine Experience

Our driver, Jerry, made the trip interesting with the history & local knowledge. He was very kind & a very fun afternoon. Peter Cellars winery had the best wines & a very quaint atmosphere. The best was delicious wine with his 3 adorable & sweet dogs that weee happy to greet us. We also visited Roche Winery with breath taking views of the vineyards, beautiful patio, & surrounding mountains. Highly recommended this trip & would do it again.

Jerry was a fabulous guide. Funny and factual stories were told along our drive to the first winery, Harwood. Dave , the owner, was a laid back interesting fellow, who we enjoyed his “coolness”. The wine was good also, we bought two bottles. The lunch stop in Sonoma gave us plenty of choices. We ate at the Irish Pub, Murphy’s , the owner came over to talk with us. The fish & chips was delicious. The next winery was Jacuzzi, an interesting story behind the name. The venue was beautiful, a tasting of 5 wines ended the day with a relaxing ride back to the ship(we were on a cruise). I highly recommend Jerry and Viator for those wanting a wine tour out of San Francisco.

We had a great day out with Randy our guide and one other couple which made it a very personal experience. After a tour around Sausilito we headed for Peter Cellers small winery for our first tasting. Peter personally conducted the tasting (given that he does everything that was not surprising). A fine selection of 5 reds were tasted with a bit of background on both the wines and the processes to create them. I should also mention Peter’s 4 excitable companions (Golden Retrievers) who made us all feel very welcome - bad day to wear black denims. Following a break for a bit of lunch in Sonoma we headed for the Jacuzzi Winery which is on a whole different scale (and yes this was the family who originally created the Jacuzzi bath). This was large scale and much busier. Again we were offered a range of tastings (white/red/fizzy) with bread and olive oil to help cleanse our palate. From there we headed back to SF taking the scenic route around many of the SF landmarks all expertly described by Randy. In summary a very enjoyable and personable day out thanks to Randy and his local knowledge and experience.

Randy was knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. He went above and beyond hosting us for the afternoon. I will recommend this tour to any of friends and family who might be visiting in the future.

I did not actually go on the tour. It was cancelled the night before I was supposed to go. The company did a great job communicating and arranging a tour with another tour company. Getting a refund was no problem and it was quick.

Excellent driver and tour guide. Took the time to give us the full tour and more. 2 locations were excellent for wine tasting.

We had a nice history tour of San Francisco with our tour guide Joe then went to the outlook of the Golden Gate Bridge for pictures and then really enjoyed the small winery tasting at the boutique winery’s an overall great experience

The trip was amazing! Our guide Ann is such an incredible person! Thanks to all your team! All three wine locations were different and great!

The overall experience was OK at best. The van to transport us 1 hour to the Vineyards was Hot and very tight - not a very pleasant ride. The first Vineyard was at Peter's Cellar which was literally a guys home and we sat out in his backyard. The stop in Sonoma was nice, very neat little town. The second Vineyard, Roche, very nice and a very good host. I would not take this tour again.

Joe was awesome and informative. Would have enjoyed a roomier van, but it was nothing he could control. Would have enjoyed more of an immersive walk through the wine making experience. Joe was accommodating and helpful. He showed us points of interests around SF as well as Wine Country. Lowkey, we wanted more of a turn up, but we understand that this wasn’t the tour for that. LOL. Great time was had.
