Always a fun event. We're return clients and wouldn't go anywhere else. Ours was a small group, so, we had lots of great personal attention by owners John and Kim.

Bill and I had a WONDERFUL time celebrating my 70th birthday with Chris on the wine tour! The wines on the flight we tried at the first stop, Firestone weren't that great, except for the Cab which we both purchased - but the wine AND Dan at Koehler Winery was the BEST! I wish we'd gone back twice instead of going to Vega - it was a dinner/winery - the waiter/wine guy was so busy he didn't spend a lot of time with us discussing the wine and the amount was about 1/2 what is normally poured - plus there were kids running around and although it was unusual to tour their little "zoo" - we didn't pay to see animals (or SMELL animals) we paid to drink wine. I would not recommend them for future tours, IMO. All together I would definitely recommend your tour to anyone going up north! Thank you for a great celebration!
