We had so much fun on our wine tour! Our driver , Gary was the sweetest, coolest guy with lots of interesting information to share about Carmel Valley. Each winery was gorgeous and inviting and the wine was delicious as well. It was worth it for sure! We loved that it included a great lunch at a fun Mexican restaurant as well!

This was such a fun excursion! Our driver, skipper was so nice and willing to be flexible on pick up and drop offs during the tour. I highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy, laid back, fun experience.

Worth it

Very knowledgeable. Great wines. Great venues. Well worth it. Very positive experience. Then there’s this weird minimum word requirement to leave a review.

Thank you for the nice review! Have a great stay in Monterey!

Not a vine in sight…

Overpriced. We had a nice small group, 5 of us and they were great, it was sitting tasting wine with great company which made it great for me. I was surprised our guide was shocked at how many places were closed on July 4th, something I would think would be known ahead of time. Not sure what lunch is usually like on the tour but as the usual spots were closed we selected a sandwich option at the start so it would be ready for us. Additionally, all the tasting rooms are in a small town on one street, you are not spending time sitting at a winery with vines etc, that may just be the way it is here which was disappointing. I could have more easily and economically taken a food and wine walking tour in Carmel if I’d known there were no actual vineyards visited.

It was awesome!

Gary was fantastic from beginning to end he was so helpful above and beyond what we could have imagined. He even provided services we didn’t know about and saved us in what could have a been a nightmare by providing transportation options.
