Our Guide Brian was awesome, so friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was a good sampler. I enjoyed each component, however it was rushed. I would prefer to have skipped the Homewood vineyard didnt like the wine and the whole place smelled like manure and spend more time at other locations.

This was a wonderful tour, the tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. I enjoyed the small group and getting to know the others there. You spend about an hour at Muir Woods and about 45-60 minutes for lunch and for each winery we visited Cline Family Cellars, Homewood Winery and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in Sonoma. In my opinion, this isn't enough time for any of the day's activities. However, this is simply a fault of choosing to go on a tour versus going it yourself. I would have hoped to have some time to go on one of the short hiking trails at Muir Woods and have time to sit and enjoy a glass of wine at the wineries.

As always. I believe tours like these are best with awesome tour guides! And that's exactly why this got 5 stars from me! We had Brian take us around in a little bus/van all day and he was amazing. He was funny, personable, easy to talk to, gave us a decent amount of time at each location, gave us tips of how to get the most wine we could free tasting at Highway 12 in Sonoma square!. Overall FUN GREAT GUY!!! He also was more than gracious enough to drive us as close he could to our apartment when we were done.
Totally book this!
