This was an excellent tour. Our bus driver Greg was amazing, what a lovely, intelligent and helpful guy.
Our first stop was at the Roche winery. AMAZING wines. Great new modern vineyard, shows you how the wine is made and we had the blonde women that owns it give us a talk and she was fabulous! She was funny, relaxed and didn’t pressure you into buying the wines, but funny I think nearly everyone on the bus bought one or two, including us.
All the wines were top class. Views were super and the host was excellent. The wine portions were very generous!
The Madonna winery was the second. A complete waste of time out the day. Much have preferred more time at Roche or b.R coney. The wines weren’t great, they take you into the barrel room and basically shut you in there to talk, then take you into the gift shop to stand in and drink. That’s it! No good view, quite run down. Spoke to a lot of the people on the tour and everyone one “ definitely could have done without that one, it was pointless”
Apparently from a local, it’s very cheap for the company to go there so that’s why they take you, to fill the day type thing.
B.R Coney was the last. The most amazing place you’ll go too. Serious views for photo opportunities. It’s outstanding the place!! However the wines are average again, and the womens speech was literally a sales pitch to get you to become a member, she wasn’t interesting or informative at all. But the view totally makes up for it and we loved it just for that!
Bus driver takes you through sonoma and it’s so beautiful it’s like something out of a movie. And his recommendations for food were great.
You should definitely book this as it’s a great experience and a wonderful day!
