I loved the idea of spending the day with a "small group" and small it was: the Tour Guide Daniel, me and my husband and one other couple; just five of us. The front passenger seat was empty, so we could have easily and comfortably carried six people -- that's the Tour Guide plus five guests. I think they limit the number of guests to seven. If so, that will not be comfortable. Maybe it's seven total people in the vehicle; but even so, three people will have to share a bench seat. Depending on the size of the people, as well as the mobility and flexibility of the people, that might not be comfortable. I recommend Matt and Daniel limit the number of guests to five.
This is Daniel's business, so he is very conscientious. He confirmed with me in advance; confirmed the pickup time and location.
As promised, he had coffee, bottled water and snacks. He provided us with snacks throughout the day, mostly delicious pastries.
We had lunch at the Heritage Restaurant in Woodinville. Lunch was very good; the restaurant was clean, the service good, the price included in the cost of the tour, and the food was delicious and fresh. BUT I thought that the "gourmet lunch" was going to be served at one of the wineries, which wasn't the case.
We did visit Snoqualish Falls, which was nice. We also visited three wineries and did wine tasting. And we stopped at an old train station to use the facilities and stretch our legs.
The van is new, clean and comfortable. Daniel was on time. We were treated well at each of the wineries. Daniel chose the three wineries well, starting with Chateau St. Michelle which is a big corporation, then a small winery and then an itty bitty winery.
It was a very pleasant day. We enjoyed the company of Chelsea and Megan, as well as Daniel. I with them much success in their business venture. I do recommend this tour.

Hi Kathryn, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! I really enjoyed spending the day together and getting to know you and Darrell, though I'm disappointed I didn't earn your five stars today.
I'm glad you liked our Mercedes van. We chose our tour vehicle specifically because we found it spacious and comfortable for an adult passenger in every seat. I'm happy to share that we've received very positive feedback on our van, including when traveling with seven guests. To my knowledge, we're the smallest group option available to each of our destinations.
I'm also happy to hear that you enjoyed lunch, which is a highlight of the day for many of our guests. I'm sorry you got the impression that it would be served inside a winery. I'll make sure it's clearer that our wine tour includes lunch at one of Woodinville's best restaurants, followed by visits to three local wineries.
I'm glad you had a pleasant day with me and hope it was a great trip to Seattle!
Warm regards,
Daniel
