Lovely way to spend a weekend - The trip went lovely. We visited 3 wineries and even stopped by an olive oil farm. Got to sample some flavored oils and balsamic vinegars. I have to say it is A LOT to sample. We had around 15 different wines to try over the course of the day. We also had lunch and some complimentary snacks. The van picked us up right at our hotel. The trip was comfortable and fun!

Wine Tasting Tour - It was a great experience. Tom did a great job with choosing the vineyards to visit. He provided some history on the area and on the vineyards we visited.

Perfect afternoon of wine tasting - Very enjoyable time. Tom was friendly, punctual and professional. He had all the logistics planned, down to the delicious lunch we enjoyed after tasting wonderful wines. Tom picked the best places to visit, with my personal favorite being the experience at Toni Cellars and the personalized attention and education we got from winemaker Boyd.

Birthday gift - We had a wonderful time. Tom was knowledgeable concerning each winery we visited. He had a pleasant attitude and I enjoyed that we were with a small group. We all enjoyed. Thanks Tom.

Nice experience - The tour was a great experience! The Small boutique wineries had a lot of character, and visiting the olive farm was a nice touch. Sharing some local history would definitely add more depth to the tour. It’s a shame we didn't hear about the production process or the history of the olive farm. This can make the experience even richer.

Wouldn't book again. - Felt the guide and the people working/owning the wineries were condescending and elitist. The tour was way too expensive for what it was, lunch wasn't served until too late in the day. Felt pressure to buy at each stop we made and there's an expectation to tip 20%- which made the excursion even more $$.

Rushed pressured and annoyed - We decided to go with this based on the reviews however it was not the same experience for us. The wineries were nice however we were the only 2 people on the tour on Saturday and the environment was extremely money oriented. The expectation was very pressuring to purchase wine at every stop and wasn’t very inviting of a tasting experience. Tom even apologized on our behalf to one of the wineries for not buying anything and then questioned why I didn’t purchase anything. Overall would not return.
