Excursion privée à Sonoma ou Napa Wine Country à VW Van

Fantastic wine tour with Brian and SF Tour Company! The VW ID. Buzz is a superb, comfortable van, and Brian is both a brilliant wine expert and a wonderful storyteller. The itinerary is a dream for any wine enthusiast or industry professional. You get to meet winemakers in person and taste some of the best wines from Napa Valley and the Sonoma Coast. Highly recommended!

Exploring wine country? Do yourself a favor and book this sommelier-guided wine tour. A group of us recently did it and were treated to hands-down one of the best experiences I’ve had in wine country. Our sommelier was Brian, who I've used before with a different outfit. Once again he was amazing! He's incredibly knowledgeable without being snobby, and is always ready with a witty remark and a great laugh. He made the whole day persona, fun, and relaxed. We got to visit a perfect mix of smaller, family-run wine makers that are true hidden gems. I ended up ordering some amazing bottles I'd never have found on my own that I can now share with my friends back home, along with a story about the winery and it's people. What really makes the difference was how much you learn. Brian explains things like wine structure, terroir, and food pairings in a way that demystifies and makes sense. It isn’t just about drinking wine, it's about understanding it. Trust me, that makes the tasting way more fun. You can tell Brian is embedded in the high-end, smaller winemaker community. Everyone we met at each stop recalled stories of working with Brian over the years and talked about how he's more than just a business acquaintance. It led to some amazing "behind the scenes" interactions that I've not seen on other tours. The country is stunning, the wines are incredible, and the whole day feels smooth and stress-free. Transportation was first-rate, and the wineries were welcoming. Even you are not a total wine nerd (I'm not ... yet), this kind of tour is 100% worth it. You can experience Napa and Sonoma like an insider, without really being one.

The wine tour with Chris and Brian was a fantastic experience. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and overall he was a great driver and guide. Brian was amazing with his knowledge of wine. Our group ranged from some with extensive knowledge to others who had never been on a wine tour before. Brian was able make each person comfortable in their experience with his demonstrated expertise combined with a sense of humor and affability. It was clear the winemakers genuinely liked and respected him and they extended that warmth to us. Bravo Brian and Chris! 5 Stars!

This trip to San Francisco was my first opportunity to visit the Napa and Sonoma valleys, and this tour hosted by Chris and Brian was an amazing first experience! The coordination for pick up/drop off was seamless, and they did a great job of keeping us on schedule while still building in some flexibility. The vehicle we took on the tour was clean and comfortable, providing plenty of room for myself (over 6ft tall) as well as the other guests. Chris was a great driver and kept a smooth ride for us the whole day. Now onto the fun part, the wine! We visited three different locations during our tour, which comprised of an outdoor vineyard experience, a tasting room experience, and a hybrid of the two at our last stop. Brian was able to provide digestible information at every stop along the way, and made it very easy for newer wine drinkers to learn. He also provided more advanced information to those on the tour who had more experience drinking wine! His knowledge and expertise impressed all of us throughout the entire day, and I left knowing so much more than I ever thought I would about wine. At all three stops, it was clear that Brian had built great relationships with the employees from each location. We were all treated like close friends everywhere we went which made the entire experience even more comfortable. It was an incredible day, and I highly recommend this tour to both new wine drinkers as well as experienced wine enthusiasts!
