Terrific experience! Worth every penny and minute and then some. I wanted to go back the next day it was that good.
Totally engaging, no gimmicks. Just you and the farms and the wine and good people and beautiful California countryside all around.
3 stops to artisanal, direct to consumer, under-marketed wine makers. You get to have real people conversations with the wine makers, which is super cool.
Our guide Karina was tops—special mention to her! In charge (as a tour leader needs to be), but kind, patient, friendly, funny, informative, and passionate about wine and wine-making.
I knew very little about wine or wine-making and had never been on a vineyard tour or even to a tasting—but Karina and the wine-makers made sure I was brought up to speed fast!
The other guests were very knowledgeable about wine and wine production and they seemed as pleased as I was on the trip. (So this isn’t exactly a beginner’s tour, but you can do it as a beginner.)
Highly recommended. Thank you!
