We had a wonderful time with Arlene as our guide. She was so fun and engaging. We learned a lot about Sonoma history, the square, and wine. Plus we had delicious food and wine pairings. Two thumbs up!

We loved our Sonoma food tour with Renee! There were four official stops, but we really ended up with six thanks to an olive oil tasting and a chocolate tasting in between stops. Each of the three restaurant stops included one or more tasty dishes and a wine pairing, with a wine tasting as the final stop. As we walked around the square Renee told us about the history of Sonoma and movies that were filmed there; at each location she had a lot of information about the wine we were drinking and the wineries it came from. We were especially fortunate to have Peter the winemaker along on our tour, we were grateful to learn his tips about wine tasting (and smelling!) and learn more about the science and art of winemaking. Food tours are an awesome way to really get to know a neighborhood, and this is no different--we learned so much about Sonoma history and local life than we ever would have on our own. When we return in the future we will definitely attend Renee's other tours in Napa or Yountville!

Thank you for leaving Gourmet Food and Wine Tours your review of the experience with Peter as my guest. Every now and then I like to invite a chef or winemaker to join us just to sprinkle in some spice for good measure! You can find him most days at Spann Vineyards in Kenwood area of Sonoma, you won't be sorry! We hope you will join us on another tour in Sausalito, Napa, Yountville or St Helena:-) Grazie, Renee

We spent a fantastic afternoon with Renee who took us to 3 of the best restaurants in Sonoma (a couple that are usually very difficult to get into!) where we were served small to medium-sized plates, then on to an olive oil and balsamic vinegar producer, then a chocolatier, then a winery tasting room. She interspersed these experiences with an engaging talk on Sonoma history and visits to historical sights, all around the beautiful Sonoma Plaza. I highly recommend this tour for foodies and non-foodies alike.

Thank you Peter for your informative and positive review. It is especially encouraging to have a seasoned winemaker with your deep knowledge appreciate the experience we created as the first tour for Gourmet Food and Wine Tours. You sprinkled lots of good tidbits yourself! Somehow we need to incorporate Spann Vineyards more. You and your wife make amazing wine and I hope to visit your tasting room again soon. Cheers, Renee
