What a great day. Our driver was very knowledgable and had great suggestions for places to go. Our favorite vineyard was her suggestion, Milat's. The luxury bus was also a nice touch. It would have been nice to have made it to one more and for the driver to take us to any of our suggestions, but oh well. Still loved it.
Our tour guide/driver was Jan and she chose the wineries that we went to. My husband and I were picked up at the front door of our hotel which was nice. After picking up the other guests on the tour we headed to the wine country. Jan would comment along the way sharing tidbits of pertinent information which was also nice as this was our first wine tasting tour. She drove us to 4 different wineries plus an olive oil company and another vineyard for lunch. Drive time between each winery was minimal so you did not feel as though you spent most of your time in the van. The whole experience was great and very enjoyable! It was great to have a driver for this tour so that you didn't have to worry about driving (on lots of levels!). My one suggestion is that if you have a winery that you would like to visit add that to your comments when you book your tour so that they can plan the intinerary for the day.
This tour was excellent! My husband, son, daughter and I had an outstanding time and absolutely loved our tour guide, Jan. She chose the most perfect wineries for us to visit. We lunched at VJB winery where we enjoyed wood fired pizzas and sipped on delicious Italian montepulciano wine. Perfect! Our day ended at Gloria Ferrer. BEAUTIFUL We sat on the fabulous terrace overlooking Carneros with wonderful Ferrer bubbly. Definitely recommend this tour and especially Jan our guide, she made the trip even more special!
