Description

Soak in the best of California Wine Country. You’ll indulge in sampling wines and delicious food on this day tour of Wine Country. We have chosen to value quality over quantity when it comes to our wine tastings. We have selected two premier wineries to showcase with an opportunity to explore more tastings in Sonoma Square. You’ll stop for a scenic photo opportunity of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, enjoy wine tastings in Napa and Sonoma, and have free time to explore historic Sonoma Square. You can choose from many dining option lunchtime experiences, such as a self-guided food tour sampling the many cuisines, picking up a bottle of wine for a picnic lunch, enjoying a sit-down meal at a Michelin star establishment, or add-on another wine tasting at one of the many charming tasting rooms in Sonoma Square.

Great Tour, Great Experience!

Our tour leader, Barry, was fantastic: knowlegable, funny, approachable, and so helpful. The two wineries we visited were also wonderful, great tours, and great wines (I purchased 3 cases from Ru Vango). I highly recommend the tour.

Great visit at two wineries with personable guide

Experience as advertised Jeffery our guide was personal and got our small group to introduce ourselves for the day. Helpful stop @ Golden Gate lookout. We are not winery pros but tours were good explanations and pours seemed full and no hard pressure to buy afterwards

Perfect day

This is a perfectly balanced experience. Visiting two different wineries to taste and buy but to also get two hours in Sonoma as a “choose your own adventure” Our driver Jeffrey was knowledgeable and friendly…going above and beyond to make this a great experience.

Enjoyable Experience

We had a wonderful Napa and Sonoma wine tour with friends, and Jeffrey made the experience even better! He was knowledgeable, funny, and kept everyone entertained on the ride to and from the wineries. The group we toured with was also friendly, which made the day even more enjoyable. We visited two wineries that each offered a unique experience. At the first, we sampled four wines in a beautiful setting. At the second, we tasted five wines and enjoyed a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of the winemaking equipment and production process. It was a fun, relaxing, and well-organized day from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Napa and Sonoma!

Friend's Trip to Wine Country

Our tour was a great experience. We were met at scheduled time and escorted to the bus. Everyone was ready to go at scheduled time which we appreciated. Jeffrey was our guide. Very knowledgeable and funny guide. He definitely made the tour even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. We visited two wineries and the pours were more than enough. Plenty of photo ops, nice well time lunch break. Overall a day very well spent

Great tour guide -...

Great tour guide - Geoffrey. Many interesting facts and history nuggets. Visited Ru Vango and Nicholson Ranch wineries. Learned a lot about wine and the process. Would definitely do a Dylan Tour if in the area again.

More than just a tour guide and vineyards!

Jeffrey has been a incredible guide! The host for the vineyards were entertaining and explained everything about the wines we drank and stories about their vineyards. I was doubting between getting a car and going on my own but in the end i would have never understood the stories that California had and the experience of the vineyards. Also we drink a bit too much wine to drive after. But again, JEFFREY, no doubt changes the day! Recommend that tour 100%

Disappointing

The pick up location and time changed twice. We were only notified once. We ended up lravimg 1.5 hours later than we booked and were rushed at the last two wineries. It felt more like a race than an enjoyable full day trip

Operator response

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry this was not the smooth full-day experience you expected. Due to scheduling issues on our end, we had to move your tour over to Tower Tours, one of our local competitors and partners. We understand how frustrating it must have been to have the pickup location and time change twice, especially when you were only notified once. Leaving 1.5 hours later than originally booked and feeling rushed at the last two wineries is not the experience we want for our guests. We truly apologize for the confusion and inconvenience. This should have been communicated more clearly, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can address it with our team and partners. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the relaxed and enjoyable wine country experience you originally booked.
