This was a really fun night. It ended up being just my friend and I on this tour and was just perfect. We had great bites and great wine. The guide was fantastic. Would definitely recommend and do again if I am ever in Napa! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you and your friend had such a fun night and enjoyed the bites, wine, and company. It’s always a treat when a tour turns out to be such a perfect fit. We’d love to host you again next time you're in Napa, Sonoma or Sausalito—cheers to more delicious adventures ahead!
Have to admit I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews but this turned out to be awesome. We started at a great local bar/deli and ended with desert at an incredible Italian restaurant...READ THE NOTICES-THEY CHANGE OFTEN. There were appetizers and a wine tasting at each location. They are smaller plates with some sharing but I am a 5'6 215 lb fat guy that was plenty full at the end of the night. Aniko was super friendly and knowledgeable. One of the best tour guide we have ever had.

Thank you for sharing your testimony of Gourmet Food and Wine Tour's little experience of Napa. We are grateful for such a small town with so much excellent food and wine to share. We are also grateful for you, thank you! Join us again in Yountville, Sonoma or Sausalito the next time you are in the mood for a little culinary delight!
The description mentioned that we would go to Michelin star restaurants and one of Marimoto's restaurants. We did not do either. It was disappointing. I expected this to be a great experience with amazing food. We had fries, soup and cheese/bread, one piece of chocolate. We were pretty hungry after the tour and felt a but ripped off. Over $200 for cheese/bread and fries? The description is misleading and do not recommend this experience to anyone.

Our description on Trip Advisor and Viator shows the restaurants we choose from. Since the pandemic and the trouble it has caused for restaurants, we are not in a position to commit for sure until the reservations are made. I know you were disappointed about Morimoto and that is why, since I was on the tour, we gave you a gift for your birthday at the end. I am so sorry you did not feel it was worth the money. I guess it is truly subjective, when your read through our typical reviews.
Dee was very energetic and knowledgeable. We got to experience several types of wine and food while learning more about Napa and the Napa Valley region. Loved the food at Compline. The stop at Archer Hotel to view and discuss the Napa Map. Dee was also great to give us parking and meetup directions before the tour.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share the quality of your experience of Dee and our GFWT in downtown Napa. The food scene has come a long way since we started opening tours in the California Wine Country, which makes it so worth doing! We hope you will join us again in Sonoma, Yountville or Napa.
Safe Travels,

Great way to try different restaurants and wine when you are short on time. We had wine and food at Ox & The Fox, Compline, Tarla and La Taberna. All good and different however Tarla was my favorite. The flambé cheese was DELICIOUS!! Aniko was our tour guide. It was a small group of 7 so very engaging. She is very passionate and knowledgeable about the places we went. Sharing information on how the restaurants started, what the chefs specialized in etc. all in all, a really nice time & we were full before we made it to last stop.

Our tour guide Aniko was amazing!
She made our tour so special. She is so knowledgeable about the area, the foods and wine that it was a true historical experience and so much information about the area causing us to live this place even more. We will be back!

Thank you so much for taking the time to let others know about a fun experience where you can taste your way through downtown Napa and learn how to maximize every hour of your day:-)
Elizabeth was great. She took us to wonderful places. She was super knowledgeable. Our entire party of six was so happy to have seen so many places! Way more fun then just eating dinner at one place.
