Great experience: delicious, informative and fun! Guide Marc was knowledgeable, humorous and thoughtful. The schedule was well paced and relaxing while still moving along to cover so much in one day. Peter Cellars was a definite highlight!!! Do it!!!

Anthony was an excellent tour guide. He gave us anecdotes and fun facts about everything we drove by. Also encouraged a social and bonding vibe with our group without making things awkward. He was super knowledgeable about San Francisco, Sausalito, and Sonoma valley. The wineries were such unique choices with great variety and we enjoyed all three so much. Our tour was framed as a kind of past, present, and future of vineyards which was super cool. Tried some of the best wines I ever had, and learned a lot about the process of winemaking and lots about grapes! Anthony also made sure we ate at great restaurants and had really cool experiences when we stopped in downtown Sonoma, and always told us where bathrooms were so we didn’t waste our time searching around. The option to end in Sausalito was sooo fun, a nice dinner and ferry ride to end the day. This tour was full of laughs and great wine! 10/10 recommend.

It's a good experience for wine -naives and connoisseurs. The atmosphere is light, informative, and fun in general. Anthony is hillarious and a great driver/ tour guide/ photographer. The choice of wineries are spot on. I took my aunt who had wine tasting in Italy, could not stop talking about how much she enjoyed this one way better. She was so happy. I would highly recommend.

Excellent day with Anthony. The drive to the vineyards was entertaining with lots of interesting facts and related stories along the way. Visiting the small boutique wineries was very informative as we met the owners and had a chance for detailed questions as well as sampling a great range of wines with lots of background and explanation. Lunch in Sonama was a nice break and an opportunity to see one of the areas of historic interest. Overall highly recommended.

Fun trip with Anthony, saw a few sites leaving City and then Sonoma small boutique wineries, educational and good wine. Small group was just right.
Steven_S, Jul 2026
Our tour guide Anthony was fantastic. He was knowledgeably, professional, and funny. He had great stories and we visited three different style wineries with excellent wines.

Marc and his team are amazing! Super responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about the San Fran area and wine country. Marc was not only entertaining, but also very friendly and went out of his way to accommodate us. I would absolutely use his tour company for all future trips to San Fran. You should too!
Brandon_S, Jun 2026
Marc was a gracious host, who provided entertaining and educational sound bites throughout the entire journey. The itinerary was gracefully crafted and evident of local taste. Could not recommend a better host or experience for your Sonoma Valley Wine Tour.
Carol_E, Jun 2026
Great driver/guide (Anthony) who was informative and entertaining. The 3 wineries were all very distinct from each other and the wines we sampled were all award winners.
David_F, Jun 2026
Enjoyed the tour and met a few new friends in the process. Our tour guide was Marc and he was fantastic. Very outgoing and knowledgeable and gave us interesting information along the way. If you are in town for a short stay, this tour also checked the box by riding on the Golden Gate Bridge and pulling over for some pictures. This tour didn’t make us feel like we were on a timer and was very relaxed. Recommend and can’t go wrong with this tour.
Eunkil_L, Jun 2026
Great and personalized tour. We had a private tour and the driver and guide gave a lot of useful information.
April_B, Jun 2026
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!!
Anna_U, Jun 2026
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.
Joel_F, May 2026
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!
Sean_C, May 2026
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! 🍷
Vicki_Z, Apr 2026
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. :)
