Our group of 4 had a wonderful guided hike through Jack London State Park. Sorel, the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the park, the history, the nature around the park. Sorel has many years of experience in hiking through the areas himself and has used that experience to brighten his guests’ hike. The hike my group selected was to Jack London’s Beauty Ranch and then through the park to an ancient coastal redwood. The only thing more impressive than Sorel’s hospitality was the awesome magnitude of the ancient redwood. On that particular hike, we saw the ranch itself (closed at the time due to COVID), where you can see how Jack London might have written some of his works, the “pig palace” (Sorel will explain), the old winery and some of Jack London’s money making ventures that met with varying levels of success. This was an excellent and very fun and enjoyable way to spend a morning in the wine country. After working up an appetite, Sorel took us to a local gastropub (Palooza) which was quite good. Our friends got the poke nachos that stole the show. All-in-all a great trip, and a great getaway from the city or extension to a wine-country tour. Special note: social distancing was closely observed, masks on, vehicle prepared with barriers and hand sanitizer before/after vehicle use. Likely due to the pandemic, there was no one else on the trail, so for us, it was a totally private tour! …

We enjoyed our Sonoma hike and wine #2 through Jack London state park with Sorel, our guide. He did a great job of providing historical information along the way and also pointed out the different types of trees, plants, etc. He took photos of our group along the way, which was very appreciated. Highly recommend!!!!…

Sorel was great. Made husband and I laugh several times. Super knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful. Made sure we were comfortable during the hike, had plenty of water and gave us options to have trek sticks or not.

Sorel is a great tour guide. He’s friendly, informative, and overall, a pleasure to be around for a few hours in Napa. This was our second time with him, and we took the Call of the Wild Tour. His social distancing practices were top notch: plastic guard in the car, hand sanitizer, mask, and always six feet or more away. However, these practices never got in the way of a great tour. We hiked up in Jack London Park, explored the area (his grave, museum, etc) and then went to Beltane Ranch. It was an incredible choice for lunch, complete with a tour of the farm and a four course meal and wine pairing. It was just what we were looking for to get away in Napa! I highly recommend Sorel’s tours.…
