Iāve done the safari wine tour and can I just say, the hike is 1000% better!
Tour Guide: Kurt - He was amazing! Funny, engaging, knowledgeable with all the history... plus he takes you to all the great photo spots! Heās got his angles on lockdown. He goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is having fun and having time experiencing the animals and the hike.
Hike: The views were breathtaking. At times I forgot we were even in LA (close enough to LA). Definitely an easy hike. Nothing too crazy. I wore white vans and my vans were still white by the time we finished.
Animals: Itās a bummer that you canāt feed the animals anymore. When I did the safari in May 2018, you were still allowed to. I hope in the future, they can bring this back. I just felt like it was the missing link this time around. Kurt did all that he can to get the animals close to us, kudos for that!
Wine: To me, the wine was more like an added bonus. Everything else was what made the tour great. Sauvignon Blanc, Rose and Cabernet Sauvignon were the ones we tasted. The first two were just okay for me. Loved the cab though!
Verdict: Definitely doing this again and telling everyone about it. If you do go, Iād recommend asking for Kurt!
