WOW! What a fantastic way to experience quality wines from Monterey County AND have the pleasure of traveling through one of the most picturesque areas in the Country.

Took the wine trolley for the 2nd time in a year. Took friends this time. Once again, we had a great experience. Gary is a fun guy and is very flexible as to what winery and tasting rooms you want to go to.Many places to pick from. I'm sure we will do it again.

We moved our whale watching tour in order to fit in the wine tour and it was well worth it. The tour started promptly at 11am and lasted 5 hours. The trolley itself was a fun way to travel and the driver was very knowledgeable about the areas we were driving through. We learned about wine tasting at the first... More

I booked the Wine Trolley for 8 friends while we were on a Pacific Coastal wine cruise. The tour started at 11:00am would take 5 hours. I called Gary with Monterey Wine Trolley and explained we were on a cruise and would have to be at 4:00pm as not miss the ship. He assured me it would be no problem.... More

I came across this tour online through the visit Monterey website and I'm glad I did. This was a surprise for my husband who was a little bummed he didn't have vacation time to visit Cancun so I scheduled a mini getaway to visit Monterey. He thought the tour would be boring and long and it was the complete opposite.... More

We enjoyed our relaxing time tasting wine eating from our food tray. Food was more than enough for two people for two days. Time you get away from the hetic rapid pace and enjoy a trolly ride through the Carmel Valley tasting wine. Andrew & Diana Lewis Albuquerque, NM

We had a great time with Gary and nutter. Wish we would have done a vineyard tour, but we elected not to at the beginning. Very nice tour. I would recommend it to anyone going to the area.

Gary lead a wonderful tour through the wine area of Carmel Valley. He was humorous and yet thoughtful. Help us find tasting rooms that matched our preferences. The tour was just the right length.

We had just the best time. It was a mommy an daughter trip and wee Booked last minute, the night before. We didn't know how it would turn out but we had a blast. It was our first wine tour since my daughter turned 21 and the driver was hilarious. Very memorable!
