Loved the stories of how the wineries started. All about families. Highly recommend a visit to Napa. Our driver Steve was great.

Six hours for two stops seemed fine. Six hours, only two of which are actually spent at a winery is ridiculous. The driver was difficult to understand and a terrible driver. We both got carsick. Some factoids he threw out on the drive were somewhat interesting. The music between informational segments was so loud we could barely hear each other talk. (It’s not a party bus). The 1st stop, the “tour” was basically a how to make wine while we’re standing in the room of barrels. We didn’t see much of anything else. The wines were varied, probably something for every taste, which is a good call. For the most part, the first stop was pretty boring, though the wine selection was good for people who enjoy California wines.
The second stop, an Italian-style winery, is the only reason the tour is getting an additional star. The stop itself gets 5 stars. A cheeseboard was available for an additional cost, and it was well worth it. Delicious! The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and pleasant. She was able to pinpoint my tastes as well as my husband’s and give us advice on how to move forward with discovering new ones we enjoy. If we were to do it again, I’d save myself $100 and 3 hours and just go to Muscardini.

This was a great wine tasting experience. Our driver/ guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip extra special. He even dropped us off at the cruise ship when it ended. If you are looking for a half day trip to wine country this is a perfect choice.

Going to small family wineries from the area that do not sell outside the USA was special. Marscadini winery was extra special as we sat in their grounds outside while tasting and learning from the hosts. Would definitely go back and taste more special wines in a special area.

It was a beautiful drive and the first winery where we went was a great experience. The host provided a lot of good information on the wine making process. However, the second winery was not as good. And it would have been a better experience if we had stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge and/or Sausalito for a quick picture. Both wineries were far from each other. If the tour company had selected wineries near each other, they could have stoped at one or both of those attractions. I felt the advertisement was a little misleading.

Walking through the vineyard, seeing the grounds, all the surroundings made the experience of wine tasting complete.

The winery tour could've offered an option of wineries that carry both dry and sweet and or disclosed the second winery was dry wine only. If the tour were to reverse such as beginning the tour on the dry wine only tasting room, and ending on the full experience winery tour would make make the trip more enjoyable. Also please offer to include full sandwiches or make the stop as indicated between the wineries for those with medical conditions, or maybe don't advertise a stop for food and suggest lunch is brought with three tourists. The second winery offered zero sweet wines and no knives to cut the salami purchased on site?.. please fix the rattling speaker, it was difficult to make out what the guide was saying. Making suggestions for photography to the whole group before boarding the bus is essential to those of us wanting to take in the sights without trying to lean across the aisle or switch seats. The tour guide was knowledgeable on the wine but was not informed that your site says there is a stop on Sonoma for an hour so we can eat or shop. I attained the same air bnb in San Francisco with the understanding I would get the Sonoma stop. Please offer more options on the winery stops. Thank you. The Madonna stop was brilliant, educational, had the best wines I've had in a long time and very kind to the bus tours. Kuddos to the Madonna Vineyards! Thank you for a memorable sightseeing bus tours.
