Good host Tony. Great wineries.
Great! You Will stop by the GG and have a good view of it!, 3 wineries are awesome, get as much wine as you can,it’s free
My boyfriend and I had a really great time on this tour. The first two wineries were the best, we got to try lots of wines. Lunch in Sonoma was also lovely, the third winery was ok, but not as good compared to the first two. I wish we had a little more time at the first two wineries but overall a great day and really good trip from San Francisco. Be on time for the bus because the driver leaves right on time. Our driver was also incredible, very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information throughout the whole drive.
The third stop was not worth the stop but the other two were very impressive. Artesa was by far the best. Driver was also rude
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the wineries, especially Artesa. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue improving.
Danilo, our coach driver and guide, was excellent. He informed us of each area we passed through. Danilo was pleasant and entertaining while skillfully driving and insuring passengers safety. We really enjoyed the wines and staff at Roche Winery, especially Tom, our guide. Artesa Winery in Napa was our second stop. It is stunning. The wine was lovely and our guide delightful. We stopped at Sonoma Square for lunch on our own. We dined at La Sallette, a Portuguese themed restaurant. I enjoyed an excellent glass of Vinho Verde and a meal of saffron rice with chicken and shellfish. My husband enjoyed a flavorful pulled pork sandwich with fries. Our last stop was at Madonna Estates in Sonoma. Again, the wines were very good and the staff welcoming and informative. We highly recommend this trip. It was a great value!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed the wineries, and that Danilo made your Napa and Sonoma experience memorable.
Our tour guide was Danillo and he was fantastic! He was very funny and friendly and shared lots about the area. I highly recommend!
Thank you for your great review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Danillo made it fun and memorable. We hope to see you again soon!
This tour is definitely worth it! My husband was in San Francisco for work and it was a great solo activity for me to do. Edith is the best driver and guide! Della Santina’s is a great Italian restaurant for the Sonoma lunch stop.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with Edith. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Fun experience. Each winery shared different things about wine making. The wine was delicious. Each winery was very different but each one beautiful.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the wineries, the wine, and the unique experiences each one offered. Cheers!
My husband, and I really enjoyed this trip. Our driver was very informative and had a great sense of humor. Our pick up site wasn’t too far from our hotel which made it easy to walk to. Let’s not forget how careful our driver was getting us from one wine venue to the next. In all it was a great day and worth the price.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your Napa Valley tour and had a great experience with your driver. We hope to welcome you back soon
The main host guy is not very good, he was rude to one of my friends. We were sitting in the middle and the people in the back were talking so loud. The old man grabbed my fried. By the shoulder and asked him not to talk so loud and it wasn’t even us. Would not recommend that guy as a host. The wineries are good, Madonna was the worst one but Rosch and Artesa are great would recommend those.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your concerns. We're glad you enjoyed some of the wineries and will review your comments with our team.
