Great tour with a great guide

Caio was an incredible guide from the moment he picked us up! He was welcoming, full of fun facts, and made us feel right at home in San Francisco. We stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge and then went to three wineries, each with their own unique selection and vibe. The hosts at the winery were all great as well and we could tell that Caio made a great impression on them as well. We would certainly do this tour again and loved our day in Poppy the VW Bus!

Great wine, stunning locations and a fantastic tour guide

Fantastic tour of the sonoma valley with Caio. Caio was an excellent driver and kept us well informed as we went along the tour. All 3 wineries provided a great experience with plenty of wine for the tasting sessions. Each tasting session ranged from $20-$30 with discounts available when purchasing wine. Stunning locations, great company and a professional tour guide. Top marks to Caio and the team.

Caio went above and beyond!

Amazing tour! Caio went above & beyond finding a wine cave when ours was closed. Ann & Diane made it unforgettable. 10/10!
