Marc was wonderful! We had such an amazing time. He was funny, informative, friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour! We especially enjoyed the information and presentation at homewood winery. And loved the wine at BR Cohn winery.

Anthony is our guide and he is really doing a very good job! I love the first and the third winery we have visited. The second although a bit less interesting, the owner is very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Overall a very good experience. Thank you so much.

Loved Marc's unique way of hosting the trip.. he's witty and very well informed of the history of that area. However I expected that we'll go in the vineyards and do some activities, which wasn't the case. We went to 3 wineries and did tastings. No other activities

Our amazing Sonoma Wine Tour on Friday, 4/19/2024 was enjoyed by our group with OUTSTANDING narration by Anthony (our knowledgeable Tour Guide) who offered tons of personal insight during our visit to Sausalito and the three wineries he chose for this day. Additionally, Anthony was our photographer for the day and always addressed every guest by name. Kudos to Anthony for a wonderful day.
