Sonoma Valley Wine Trolly - Paul the tour director was first rate, had planned great stops, shared interesting history and information along the trolly route. He did a great job keeping the guests entertained and engaged. The four vineyards were well-selected stops and the hosts/hostesses at each venue were very informative and entertaining.

Enjoyable day - Our driver Paul was entertaining and enjoyable. We most enjoyed the visit to Buena Vista Winery. It was nice to have someone else driving. Our fellow passengers were fun.

Meh… try a different tour. - Meh. Trolly was unique but uncomfortable. Especially on a cool day. And it broke down. They got us a shuttle van without too much delay. Winery selection was missable.

Interesting time but a lot involved. - There was 2 coach buses but me and my girlfriend who are both females were put in the bus with all couples. It wasn’t the best for when the other bus had all women who were not paired up. We also got back about 45 mins later than expected, which hindered other plans. At the wine tastings, it was expected for everyone to do all the tastings. You should see the stares and disappointment on the faces when you said I’ll sit this one out.

Disappointing - Unfortunately disappointing experience for a number of reasons. 1 - The trolley was not actually in service the day of our tour. Instead, we were offered transport in a shuttle bus. Although they made us aware in advance, there was not an offer to cancel or reschedule, which in retrospect I wish I had just done. 2 - Battery died in said shuttle bus before we even left. We were left to wander around the square while the guide, Richard, waited for a jump. 3 - Richard was miserable. Cranky, seemed like he really did not want to be there. It seems like we really missed out not only on trolley but on the regular guide who was unavailable that day. 4 - "Vineyard" experience. We went to Buena Vista, VJB, Mayo, and Seamus. BV was ok, but we were confined indoors to tacky tchotchke-filled rooms the entire time. VJB was.. fine? but felt like just sitting on a restaurant patio. Mayo wine was ok, but again we were just stuck in an industrial barrel room for the majority of the visit. Seamus is... not a winery? It is a basic tasting room in a strip mall on the side of the road. ^this was the frustrating aspect of the trip. Becoming overwhelmed trying to decide which wineries to visit, we trusted this company to bring us to high-quality locations, and we were left overall very disappointed in where we were taken to. Ending at a strip mall while in wine country was unreal in a bad way. We spent most of a beautiful fall day inside, between the lack of trolley and the design of the experiences. WE DID NOT SET FOOT ON AN ACTUAL VINEYARD FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. I will give two stars because I did get to drink wine and they did provide a refund after sending in feedback but I would not recommend this experience to anyone unless the company makes some significant changes.
