My brother, sister, and I signed up for this wine/tasting walking tour. We were very fortunate to be the only ones signed up for this day/time. We ended up enjoying a private tour while paying a group price. Our tour guide for the day was Harold. We/I could not have asked for a better person to take us around. Harold was fun, engaging, and very knowledgeable about everything seen on this particular day...and all w/o coming across as a know-it-all, nor someone who’s presented this tour over and over and now has become bored w/ the outing. Serveal times I had to stop and thank Harold for his winning attitude and wealth of information. Did I mention to you how many local people on the streets were greeted by Harold and/or vice versa w/ a friendly wave and how are you? I’m not a big wine drinker but I do love food. We went to three stops and each was different from the other. The food pairings while not huge in portion size were just enough. Except for our final stop. There we were served THE best grilled cheese sandwiches, each different, but all equally buttery and delicious. Each person representing the tasting rooms was knowledgeable in their offerings. None presented a hard sell to purchase their products, which I knew I wouldn’t as I mentioned I’m not a wine drinker. My siblings and I were really just looking for a nice way to spend a day w/ each other while learning about the local area. This tour, located in the cutest town center of Healdsburg did just that. We enjoyed the stop at Cousteau’s french bakery as well as our stop at the tea room, too. All in all, I think I speak for my family when I say this tour, located in Healdsburg, w/ Harold made for a winning outing. Our sincere thanks to Harold, for he set the tone. Mission accomplished. (I am a seasoned traveler, both stateside and abroad. I’m a retired teacher and wife of a retired Army Officer. We lived in Germany for ten years, in three different cities. We know and appreciate good service. If you take THIS tour and are assigned Harold, you will not be disappointed.)
