This tour was great. Our driver, Jay Mathy, was very knowledgeable about wines and wine making. He was attentive to everyone's needs and he made our tour even better than anticipated. The tour is in a van, not a huge bus, so it made for a friendly environment to get to know everyone on our tour. The wine country is... More

The driver was not only well educated on the wine country, but grew up in a wine family. Excellent tour and a wonderful way to see and really enjoy great wines without having to worry about driving.

Had a fabulous time in Sonoma with our tour guide, Dan Wood. He was an extremely knowledgeable vintner himself and knew Sonoma thoroughly as he grew up there too. Our group consisted of 11 of us. We had the chance to tour 4 vineyards, plus enjoy a sit-down lunch in Sonoma, followed-up with a scoop of Ben and Jerry's ice... More

We were staying in Glen Ellen, so we had to drive down to the Sonoma square to be picked up for the tour, which actually worked to our advantage. We were the only two on the tour and Greg couldn't have been nicer. He was very informative and took us to a few amazing boutique wineries. His flexibility in working... More

We booked this tour last minute, and it was excellent! Our guide Jeff Mathy is a winemaker himself, so we let him decide where to go. Jeff took us to some incredible wineries, set up the tours and tastings for us, and was full of great information. He knew where to go and we only ended up paying for one... More

Terriffic tours was fantastic from beginning to end and I am so glad that we toured with them! For my parents 35th wedding anniversary we flew to San Fran for the Day from Vegas to go on a wine tour. There were 11 of us and I looked around for ages at the different tour companies. In the end I... More

Our tour guide jeff was very friendly. Unfortunately, I could not hear a word he said on the drive from San Francisco to Sonoma. We visited 4 lovely wineries, and had plenty of time for a leisurely lunch/shopping in downtown Sonoma. Afterwards, he just dropped us off at the Ferry and gave us all a $2 bill to get back... More

Melissa at Terrific Tours was great at suggesting what would be best for our group of 5 - a group of sisters and (over 21!)daughters for a Sonoma weekend retreat! And, our tour guide, Hampton also was spot on at selecting the perfect combination of wineries - His knowledge of Sonoma wines and the Dry Creek, Russian River and Alexander... More

Very interesting tour, fun fact trivia by Travis (our tour guide), we were able to go to four wineries and loved that the tasting was included in the tour price. Our favorite wineries: Robledo family winery, Gundlach Bundschu (entertaining!) and Larson family winery. Terrific ending to a terrific tour is that a ferry ride back to Fisherman's Wharf is included... More

I highly recommend this tour and our guide Dan, whose knowledge of winemaking and the wine industry is pretty extensive (who knew how much goes into wine barrel production). His choices of the vineyards we experienced were diverse enough that everyone found something they liked. My favorite stop was Meadowcraft at the end of the day. I recommend you ask... More
