My husband and I took a tour with Rich for the third time this past weekend for our first wedding anniversary. Rich arranged such a beautiful day for us and took us to so many hidden gems in the valley. His outstanding service and personality keep us coming back! Whenever we find ourselves in wine country we absolutely love to see Rich!
Our driver, Richard Martin, was excellent. We were pleased with the wineries recommended as well as the service.
If you don't travel with Bacchus Wine Tours & Transportation, you're missing out. We had the pleasure of having Rich as our driver and "tour guide" for our winery tour trip to Sonoma/Calistoga. He is AMAZING. Our group was a little early to the hotel lobby where we were to meet Rich....guess what...he was already waiting when we got there! I was greeted with a hug and a smile and was absolutely delighted to know that the person we would be spending the day with was such a kind gentleman. I had multiple conversations with him on the phone and email prior to our trip where he was so helpful in that he suggested wineries to stop at as well as places to eat. Our day with him was eventful and one not soon to be forgotten. His knowledge of the area as well as the wineries was beyond what I could have imagined and was absolutely appreciated. If you are looking for a great guide and driver for your stay in California, Bacchus Wine Tours & Transportation is the way to go!
John was a fabulous and gracious host. Handled every detail and allowed us to build in the stops we wanted and made great suggestions on what else to add. Very knowledgeable about the area and made our trip easy, fun and memorable. I would highly suggest!!
Rich picked us up in San Fran and then drove us on a custom route he selected that met and exceeded all of our needs. He was very pleasant, funny, and knowledgable. His car was spacious, clean, and full of water and other drinks. He even gave us some drinks when he dropped us off to help us recover the next morning. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that was looking to tour Napa or Sonoma valley.
This was a best friend/couples Wine Tasting trip. Bacchus Wine Tours (Rich Martin) is the way to go if visiting Napa/Sonoma. Don’t look anywhere else!!! If you want a fun and knowledgeable tour, trust in Rich to map it out for you. He was very informative about Napa and Sonoma wine country, very organized, very responsive, great attention to detail, personable, very gracious and most important the best sense of humor. He mapped out a day in Napa and a day in Sonoma based on types of wine we enjoy. He gave us great restaurant recommendations and suggested we reserve sooner rather than later. Do yourself a favor and reserve at least 6 to 8 weeks prior to your arrival. Otherwise you will not make it to the door. Thank you Rich for this tip! Rich comes with a luxury vehicle stocked with assorted beverages, menus to preorder your lunch (no waiting on lines) and what else needed per your request. He was constantly monitoring the weather prior to our arrival and that’s how he determined which day we were visiting the vineyards chosen. Finally, he surprised us with a finale lunch set up at a private barrel room at La Rochelle winery. He kept the best for last. We all became members at La Rochelle. Go visit La Rochelle if you can. Every tasting was delicious. Ask for Dodds from La Rochelle. He’s the best! He made the experience extra special. Rich, thank you again for executing such a wonderful experience and for making it a memorable visit. It was a bittersweet departure!
