Great experience. Beautiful drive to wine country. Barry was a fantastic guide and shared a wealth of information along the way. The wineries are gorgeous and the wine tastings were fun. Loved the stop in Sonoma for lunch and shopping on our own. Good food, quaint shops and friendly people. Highly recommend, a nice way to spend the day.

Was such a fun group of people to experience this with. Jeffery was our guide. He was funny, informative, personable and made this trip worth it. I’ve done similar tours and would say Dylan’s tour was the best so far. Jeffery was a huge part of that. Loooing forward to next time

Disappointing

Stephanie_S, May 2026

The pick up location and time changed twice. We were only notified once. We ended up lravimg 1.5 hours later than we booked and were rushed at the last two wineries. It felt more like a race than an enjoyable full day trip

Response from Host, May 2026

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry this was not the smooth full-day experience you expected. Due to scheduling issues on our end, we had to move your tour over to Tower Tours, one of our local competitors and partners. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have the pickup location and time change twice, especially when you were only notified once. Leaving 1.5 hours later than originally booked and feeling rushed at the last two wineries is not the experience we want for our guests. We truly apologize for the confusion and inconvenience. This should have been communicated more clearly, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can address it with our team and partners. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the relaxed and enjoyable wine country experience you originally booked.

Great Day in Napa

This is a very nice tour to spend a day in wine country. Our tour guide Jeffrey made the whole experience wonderful. Lots of fun energy from him and our fellow travelers on our bus. For us time in Sonoma square was a little long.

Monika_G, Apr 2026

Thank you Jules for this terrific experience. Everything was perfect. If you have a few days in San Francisco, don't miss out on this trip.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours and for the kind words. We’re really glad you had such a terrific day with Jules. Keeping our tours small and personal is a big part of what we do, and it’s great to hear that came through. And that lunch stop in Sonoma Square really does bring everything together and make the day feel complete. Hope to see you again soon.

This is the 🍷Tour to take!!!

Karen_S, Apr 2026

wonderful historical and geographical narration along the way, amazing wines at boutique Ru Vango Winery in Napa) had to ship a case home😉! Sonoma square had cute shops, museum and wide choice of restaurants. We enjoyed back courtyard and delicious lunch at Sunflower Caffe. Second winery in Donoma was beautiful but enjoyed first wines more. Barry was a great driver, guide, comedian, showman, historian and wealth of information. He made the day very entertaining and memorable as well as safe. Highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours and for taking the time to share this. It sounds like you had a full and memorable day with Barry. He really knows how to bring the history and geography to life while keeping things fun and engaging. Ru Vango is always a great start, and shipping a case home says it all. Sonoma Square is one of those spots that really rounds out the experience, and Sunflower Caffé is a great choice for lunch. Glad you enjoyed the mix of wineries, even if the first one set a high bar. We’ll be sure to pass this along to Barry. Hope to see you again soon.

Great tour

Terence_S, Apr 2026

Great experience and Barry our driver was super—a world of knowledge. Went two wineries which was plenty based on the time it took to get to each.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours and for sharing your experience. We’re really glad you had such a great day with Barry. He’s an incredible guide with a deep knowledge of the area, and he always finds a way to make the drive both informative and entertaining. You’re absolutely right about the pacing. Visiting two wineries gives you just the right amount of time to relax, enjoy the wines, and take in each stop without feeling rushed, especially with the scenic drive between Napa and Sonoma. It’s all about quality over quantity, and it sounds like you got the full experience. Hope to see you again soon.

Excellent Tour, Highly Recommended

Recka_W, Apr 2026

The tour was perfect (with the exception of two of the guests that were very annoying and quite a distraction). The tour started at 9:00am and evidently, they had already been drinking. It was a male and female pair of cousins. Both spoke loudly while on the bus, for nearly the entire trip. The male continued to speak loudly over the tour guides in both Napa and Sonoma. He spoke so much and so loudly that the guide had to redirect him and change her position. As the wine sampling continued, they became more disruptive and disrespectful. Besides, the two adults acting like kids, they trip was awesome! It would have been PERFECT had the two been removed from the tour. Our driver, Barry was awesome as he was very knowledgeable and quite funny! He's also an excellent photographer! The scenery was gorgeous and the stops at the Golden Gate Bridge and vineyards in Napa and Sonoma were WELL worth the trip and everything we expected and imagined! The tour guides at Nicholson Ranch and Ru Vango Winery were amazing! Both were knowledgeable and offered great samples! We purchased wine from both locations. Overall, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, especially when we were able to separate each from the two clowns, Sean and Shavonne. We definitely could have done without the silliness, mindless small talk, gibberish and childish behavior from two adults.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for booking with Dylan’s Tours and for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re really glad to hear that overall you and your husband had an awesome day and were able to enjoy the experience, especially the beautiful scenery, the Golden Gate Bridge stop, and the wineries in Napa and Sonoma. That said, we truly appreciate you calling out what happened on the bus. That’s not the kind of atmosphere we want for our guests, and we understand how disruptive that must have been. We aim to keep our small group tours enjoyable and respectful for everyone, and we’ll take this feedback seriously as we continue working with our guides on how to better manage situations like that in the moment. It’s great to hear Barry still helped make the day memorable. He really is a fantastic guide, and we love that you enjoyed his knowledge, humor, and even his photography skills. We’ll also pass along your kind words to the teams at Nicholson Ranch and Ru Vango. We truly appreciate your understanding and are glad you were still able to make the most of the day. Hope to see you again soon.

Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for booking direct with Dylan’s Tours and for the great review. We’re really glad you had such a fun and relaxing day out in wine country. That drive up from San Francisco is something special, and Barry does a great job bringing it all to life with his knowledge and personality. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the wineries and tastings, and that Sonoma Square stood out for you as well. Having that time to explore, grab a good lunch, and wander through the shops really helps round out the experience and makes the day feel complete. Appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon.

It’s a lovely 7-9+ hours experience that is a must for everyone who enjoys wine and learning about the land.

Everything was taken care...

Jessica_L, Feb 2026

Everything was taken care of with water bottles and granola bars. It was a smooth trip and Barry was great! He explained things and took photos. The wineries were so cute and personable. There were some everyday wines and some really special wines. Just a really great day!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Lara_M, Nov 2025

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.

Robert_W, Nov 2025

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.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Nicholson and Vango Wineries

Michael_P, Nov 2025

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!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for booking with Green Dream Tours! We’re so glad you and your wife had such a memorable Wine Country experience. It’s wonderful to hear you loved Nicholson Ranch and enjoyed learning the stories behind the wines and wineries in both Sonoma and Napa. We appreciate you sharing the thoughtful details of your day and hope to see you again on another adventure soon.

We will drink the wine!

JaneMarie_M, Oct 2025

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!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for booking with Green Dream Tours! We’re so glad you had a wonderful experience with Jeffrey and enjoyed the wineries, lunch in Sonoma, and those beautiful vineyard views. Sounds like a perfect day of great wine and great company. Hope to see you again soon.

dlacativa, Oct 2025

Our host driver, Scully was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about San Francisco and played great music! And he’s an exceptional photographer! The winery hosts amazing, fun and clearly knew a lot about wines and wine making process! We experienced tasting wine straight from barrel and even got to eat grapes off vines. We were fortunate to have people on our tour who were fun to be around making the trip even better. Shout out to the London boys and Cruise girls!

Fair getaway to the wine country

anna_l, Oct 2025

Pros-don't have to do the driving or planning Sonoma plaza was beautiful. Plenty of time to eat, shop and enjoy. Beautiful vineyards Cons- the vineyards were subpar at best. The wines were fair with limited education/discussion. Goal was to sell their products
