Because of the Wine Country Chauffer, our entire vacation rolled as smoothly as Philip's Lincoln Navigator through the Russian River Valley. Because of a questionnaire and extended communication, Philip designed a trip perfect for us. We had never been to California at all, but he made sure to optimize the whole trip. We had a day of wineries and another of beer tasting and coastal touring. Not only is Philip extremely knowledgeable about the vineyards, restaurants, B&Bs, and sights of Sonoma and Napa, he has connections seemingly everywhere who can point you in the right direction. Next time we go to California, the Wine Country Chauffer will be the first phone call we make.…

We were a group of six who had never been to Sonoma before and we hired Philip to take us to the wineries. I would use him again in a heartbeat. He helped us narrow down a region to visit to best maximize our time and he helped us select some wonderful wineries. He was beyond helpful and modified our itinerary when necessary. He was friendly and professional. I don't know what else to add other than you will not be disappointed if you hire him. I cannot wait to go back to Healdsburg and I will definitely be using Philip and WCC again!…

Philip provided our group of 8 with an incredible day in Sonoma. He was punctual, in constant communication and went as far as to rent a van outside of his fleet in order to accommodate the size of our group. When I told him we wanted to go to see the red woods he went as far as calling the parks in order to make sure we had all the information regarding our options. He supplied us with plenty of water, knew when to give us space, and was flexible with our tour on the day of. That being said, Phillip will request that you have a plan prior to showing up, which is in your best interest as well as his - San Fran traffic can present hour delays and most wineries require reservations for groups over 6. The most impressive move Philip made was at the end of the night when we got to Morton's Steakhouse. We were celebrating a friends birthday who goes by the nickname of "Senior". Philip, who had made the reservation for us, had highlighted the event to Morton's and requested that they make us feel special. On all of the menus at our table was printed "Happy 70th Birthday Senior". It was moving and very much appreciated. I'll leave you with this. If you are looking for a stuffy wine experience where you pretend you are something you aren't for a day, then maybe Philip isn't your guy. He isn't going to put on a tuxedo and chauffeur's cap and talk to you about how delicate the grapes are. If you want a kind hearted, punctual, considerate, and lovable chauffeur that will simply compliment the tone and temperament of your group - look no further. We'll recommend him to all our friends and use again - no doubt.…

As a resident of Sonoma Valley, I had a surprise visit from family and Philip came to my rescue. I am well versed with the mainstream wineries in both Sonoma and Napa but wanted to provide my guests with more of an intimate experience. Philip had extensive knowledge of small production wineries and their policies that relieved my stress immediately. He made all the private tasting reservations and provided excellent (off the beaten track) restaurant suggestions. I wanted to stay off the main highways and roads and Philip was happy to take us on the scenic route albeit longer and windier, it provided the unique experience I was looking for. Thank you Philip!!…
