Nice informative estate winery with VG wine. Lunch on our own in Sonoma (a movie-perfect town!) Beautiful, shady lawn and good wine at 2nd winery (not estate).

Driver/guide was great. Tour left late, Bus had no air conditioning. We were promised to get a replacement at the first winery and again at the lunch stop, nothing. 100 degrees outside and no A/C on the bus until the end of the tour. Driver was embarrassed about situation. Tour operators did not provide solution.

Great time! People complained about too much time at each stop in other reviews, but we didn’t find that to be an issue at all. We felt it was just enough time everywhere! Highly recommend!
