Book ahead of time. Definitely eat a good breakfast prior to being picked up. Plan on buying and shipping several wines . . . you'll be so impressed. John is so familiar with the wineries in the area along with the owners and staff that you can't go wrong with this tour. He makes sure that you have individualized attention... More

We traveled to Tahoe for a week, and this tour was one of the first activities we did. It was a really wonderful experience. We met John on the south side of the lake where he drove us into wine country. It was immediately comfortable as John talked to us about wine etiquette, the wineries we would visit, and the... More

We booked this tour a few months before we left for Tahoe. John and Vickie kept in touch with us prior to the trip with updates, etc. This was the highlight of our trip in Tahoe. Two other couples were booked on it too so there were 6 of us. We had so much fun! The other two couples were... More

My husband and I traveled to Lake Tahoe to ski, rest and see some local attractions. The wine tour provided a great break from the traditional winter events, especially since the snow is very low this year. John, our host, knows wine, is very familiar with Apple Valley wineries, and is a great guy to simply visit with. We met... More

Once we booked, John made everything so easy! He picked us right up from our... More

This was the best part of my trip to Lake Tahoe!! We booked the trip for the skiing but there was not enough snow to have all the runs open so we needed something else to do one day. That's when I looked on trip advisor and saw this was number one. This was definitely the best wine tour I've... More

Snowfall was no existent, so we decided to spend our last day at the wineries, this was definitely a great decision. Elton John is a very cool and laid back guide, but is also very very safe and extremely knowledgable. When we go back to Tahoe, there are a 1,000,000 to 1 odds that we will be touring with the...

Highly recommend this wine tour. John was very personable and friendly. His knowledge of wine and its production was extensive. I enjoyed the wines and experience more than Napa. This was a more intimate and personable tour. I look forward to taking this tour again. This is a must if you are in the Tahoe area. More

Our tour guide John was wonderful. During our drive to the wineries, he explained the types of wine the region is known for, and how they pair with various foods. It was a good lead-in to the wine tastings. We visited 4 wineries in the Camino Valley, and thoroughly enjoyed both the wines and the scenery. We highly recommend this... More
