5It was brilliant, we went...
It was brilliant, we went to three different vineyards and all were really lovely. We had really good fun with all the other guests who we met as strangers but left as friends
3Small winery review
Army was awesome! I would recommend asking what wineries you are going to. We enjoyed the presentation at Ty Caton but the other two wineries were not as special. Paul had an outstanding presentation. Totally different with Peter Sellers winery. Not much time for picnic lunch. Larson....we had hard time hearing from presenter as there was a festival going on. We thought the other 2 wineries would be more like Ty Caton.
5A Truly Unforgettable Day!
I would recommend this tour to everybody! We had the most amazing time. Our tour guide/driver was James and he was outstanding! He chose 3 beautiful wineries for us to visit...each one had beautiful scenery and great wines. A delicious lunch was provided at one of the wineries with a picturesque view. The whole day was relaxing and fun. James shared so much information about the area and the wineries. For a first time visitor to Sonoma, this tour surpassed our expectations.
5Great day!!!!
We had a great time! Our guide was very attentive and made sure we all had a great time. He clearly has a great relationship with the wineries.
5Take this tour😎
our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to three wineries . Had a delicious box lunch. Wolf was our tour guide, played great music. Made our tour very enjoyable 😎
5First time in Sonoma
My husband and I visited Sonoma for the first time and wanted to do wine tasting without driving ourselves. This was perfect. The three wineries we went to were great and the group on the tour bus was a lot of fun. Our driver, Tony, was fun and informative. Ty Caton Winery was our favorite. Paul at the winery made the Ty Caton Winery extra special.

About Napa & Sonoma
Napa and Sonoma are California's best-known wine valleys north of San Francisco, a landscape of vineyards, oak hills, small towns and tasting rooms.
Napa Valley is a narrow valley about fifty kilometres long, running north from the town of Napa through Yountville, St Helena and Calistoga, with vineyards on the valley floor and hills on either side. Sonoma Valley lies to the west, over the Mayacamas range, with the historic Sonoma Plaza, a Spanish mission and the village of Glen Ellen. Both are known worldwide for wine, especially Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa and Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the cooler parts of Sonoma.
