Mark was an awesome tour guide and was extremely welcoming and full of knowledge. He was funny and very pleasant, and we both enjoyed being with him all day. Mark made our one day in Sonoma wonderful and memorable- we will be back!!

Excellent!!! I am so happy that I booked this tour for me and some friends. Antony was our driver/guide and he was truly wonderful. He took us to 3 amazing vineyards where we met amazing people and learned so much about Sonoma. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was by far THE best tour I’ve been on! Catya was an amazing tour guide! I was the first pick up and she welcomed me right away. She was very knowledgeable about the city and gave us all kinds of good information as we made our way to the wineries. I had THE best group of people who made this tour EVERYTHING! Each winery was great. The best was the last one because it gave that true winery feel. But, Sharon at the first one gave me the most information about wine and she was the most personable. Cat even gave great tips and suggestions for where to eat lunch. I had so much fun I was sad it was over.

Anja was absolutely incredible and made our wine tour unforgettable. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and so accommodating throughout the entire experience. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. She took us to amazing vineyards we never would’ve found on our own and shared so much insight about the wines, the region, and each stop along the way. Her energy was warm, fun, and professional, and she made the whole day feel seamless and special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Anja to anyone looking for an amazing wine tour experience!

The perfect mix of guided tour and fun! The whole experience was so fun and easy, Marc made the whole day great with lots of options and great wine!
Daniel_W, May 2026
Awesome small group experience. You definitely get private tour feel. We had Marc as our guide, driver and entertainer. He was a lot of fun to spend the day with. His personal connections with the wineries definitely made the day less commercial and more personal.

Mark is funny, very knowledgeable and a gracious host who got all the team together to participate! Will recommend unreservedly!
Amanda_S, May 2026
We had an absolutely amazing day with great wine and a knowledgeable, witty guide. Each winery had it's own charm. 10 from 10!
Bogdan_B, May 2026
Great choice of boutique wineries, great guide and small group much appreciated.
Flexibility, had the chance to spend time in Sausalito also.
Sanjana_Y, May 2026
I had such an amazing time in the wine country! We had a great group of individuals traveling in the van. Had so much fun interacting with Paul and others on this short but amazing trip
Paula_G, May 2026
Mark was the best guide we ever had!!! He was knowledgeable, funny and very accommodating to 4 old dolls. The wineries he took us to were small, uncrowded and the tastings were wonderful. Incredible wines!! Definitely take this tour and ask for Mark....who is also the owner of the well run company.
Melissa_S, May 2026
Marc was my guide and made this an unforgettable experience. Pickup was seamless. He shared interesting history and had a great sense of humor. I loved learning about the local wineries and their stories. An added bonus was making friends with others on the tour by the end. Highly recommend.
Rose_E, May 2026
Marc, our guide for the day, added so much to the experience. He was attentive, funny, and so informative. From history of the San Francisco area to wine industry in Sonoma and Napa, we learned a lot. The small family wine makers spent time with us, allowing us to really learn about their wines, and enjoy them. The personal touch was something we haven’t gotten at some of the larger wineries.
Shout out to the friends we made spending a fun day on this tour!
Shausta_M, May 2026
Tour was so much fun! Anthony our guide was amazing!!
Was really impressed by the choice of vineyards.
Justina_K, May 2026
Our Sonoma wine tour was an absolute dream—easy 5 stars! Exploring Sonoma County was already stunning, but our guide, Marc, truly made the experience unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the region, the wines, and each stop along the way, but what really stood out was how fun and personable he was. He kept the energy up all day while making sure everything ran smoothly and on time.
Each winery we visited was beautiful and unique, with generous tastings and amazing views. We visited Peter Cellars, Séamus Wines, and B.R. Cohn! Peter Cellars was my favorite because of the four golden retrievers! Marc gave great background at each stop without overwhelming us, and he made sure we had time to relax, enjoy the wine, and take it all in.
The whole day felt seamless, well-organized, and special from start to finish. If you’re thinking about doing a Sonoma wine tour, I can’t recommend this experience enough, especially if you get Marc as your guide! 🍷

We had an amazing time with Anthony on our tour to the wineries in Sonoma. We went to three different excellent wineries and had anywhere from 3-5 different wines at each. The wineries are cool, but what really made the experience amazing was Anthony and his jokes/stories. The drive was pretty quick from SF and the van is comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour and so would my friend!
Jacqueline_V, Apr 2026
Really enjoyed the tour. Mark was a great guide with great recommendations for lunch and later for dinner. Loved the 2 winery locations and wines and the third which was a tasting room and winemaker. Great day, not crowded. Just the right amount of time. Plenty of wine. :)

Andrew_D, Apr 2026
We had a great time. Marc was an excellent guide. The vineyards were all great. I wish that all yours were this fun!
Jynnea_B, Apr 2026
We took this wine tour while visiting the Bay area for our wedding anniversary trip as we wanted to get a glimpse of the Sonoma/Napa valley area. This tour was very fun and informative. We went with a small group of 10 and everyone was friendly. Our tour guide Anthony was very accommodating and entertaining. We went to 3 wineries and we enjoyed the dry red wines at Peter Cellars Winery the most. The ambiance/ grounds at B R Cohn Winery were absolutely beautiful and the wines at Homewood were a refreshing fruit forward spin on wines that would go well with comfort foods. I would recommend this tour to others.
Kenneth_M, Apr 2026
The tour guide was the owner/operator. He knows some of the winery owners. BR Cohn was the medium size winery with good wines. Redder the better was good too. Peter Cellars was good but 1 of the bottles that I bought did not have the foil cap on the coork!
Jaime_L, Mar 2026
Our guide Anthony took us to three unique and beautiful wineries with great tasting wines, and all along our route entertaining us with humorous conversations. Highly recommended.
Luis_T, Mar 2026
Amazing experience. Marc was an amazing guide; very knowledgeable, kind, and funny. The vineyards we went to were all great and we learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour!
Howard_R, Mar 2026
Excellent day touring boutique wineries in Sonoma. Our guide Anthony was knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. Would highly recommend this tour. We are novice wine drinkers and learned a great deal.
Alyssa_L, Mar 2026
This was an amazing tour. Mark was knowledgeable, entertaining, and on overall great guide! We loved the wineries that we visited, and we would book again through this company!
Ryan_R, Mar 2026
Anthony was a fantastic guide! I would not go on an excursion to Sonoma with anyone else. An amazing Sunday.
Karen_P, Mar 2026
Right from the pickup, I knew that it was going to be a fun day out! Antony was so enthusiastic, engaging and entertaining throughout the day. His tour-guiding skills were exceptional and educational and left us wanting more. The wineries and wines presented were quite different which was a bonus too. The only slight negative I would say is that they were Red-heavy, but still worth tasting. The lunch suggestion was another bonus and I would highly recommend Nino and his bus trip to Sonoma.
lisa_D, Mar 2026
What an amazing day! This tour is a MUST. Nino was the most fabulous host/driver for our group and the people on our bus… they absolutely made our day. The vineyards we visited were outstanding. Honestly with the wines and the e people, this was THE best trip I’ve done in a very long time!
Kelly_M, Feb 2026
Great guide, in Paul, knowledgeable, personable and fun. Made everyone feel welcome and part of the group.
