Sunny our guide was the best part of the tour. VERY knowledgeable and knew the countryside inside and out. The wineries she chose were excellent and we were very happy with the whole experience. We would choose her again in a minute! Her driving was impeccable and her ā€œsunnyā€ attitude chased what few rain clouds had gathered on the horizon. 5 stars Sunny!

We love wine tours, lots of tasty wine and no driving. Sunny, our tour leader, was knowledgeable and very aware of our needs or potential needs. The first two wineries were excellent, Andrew Murray especially. For our third stop, the company had us go into Los Olivos for a tasting at Carhartt. This was a very commercial establishment. It killed the vibe of vineyards and open space. The group consensus was that another actual vineyard tasting would be better. Be aware that on weekends, lunch isn’t provided, though it is on weekdays. Lots of reasons/excuses as to why not. Sunny picked up lunch nearby (with our credit cards).

Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and wines and added in a couple of extra stops at places of interest along the way. My husband and I really enjoyed chatting with the other four passengers, too. The wineries we visited had delicious wine. Having lunch at one of the wineries was a good way to soak up the wine so we could keep going. A greatday all around!
