We went to Folded Hills, Brander, and Soloss and Sons vineyard. The guide was great. Our favorite was Folded Hills. Beautiful vineyard. Great set up. Lunch was very good.

The September 17, 2021, tour, left us disappointed. Only the first of the three wineries that day were memorable. The first was next to its vineyard, with drinkable wines, and very friendly servers. The next two were forgettable: one a winery and one a downtown tasting room, the wine and atmosphere at the latter two venues were lacking. Out of control of the organizers...the tour included a very loudly talking family of seven, whose conversations droned on through the entire tour using it seemed in very sentence the words "Oh my God!!" and "like". They just would not shut up! The driver said little to describe the area or wineries as we assume he had difficulty talking over the seven...think he just gave up. The drive to to wineries was beautiful and for us was the high point of the tour.

Thank you so much for leaving us your feedback! We are sorry we can't always control the mixing of guests in the van -- our goal is that guests walk away from the tour with new friends! We hope you'll join us again in the future maybe for a private tour with just your group.
