Our driver and guide was excellent…don’t remember his name but he had an Irish accent. We appreciated his safe driving and narration throughout the tour while on the bus. The first winery was great and we bought some wine there as well. The second winery was beautiful and the wine was very good. Unfortunately, we did not care for the third winery at all, but nevertheless, we enjoyed the tour very much overall and would highly recommend it.

We had an amazing Napa and Sonoma wine tour visiting B.R. Cohn, Roche, and Madonna Estates. Each winery offered a unique experience, beautiful views, and excellent wines. A special thank you to our driver, Danilo, who was friendly, accommodating, informative, and had a great sense of humor. His lunch recommendation was spot on, and he even made a stop so we could take pictures of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Danilo truly helped make this a memorable day. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Napa and Sonoma!
