This was a great, relaxing experience for a vacation to the Bay Area for the first time. Both wineries (Madonna Estate and Ru Vango) were wonderful with the former providing more tastings and better education on their process, and the latter providing a wonderful ambiance and an actual walk through the vineyards. Our driver, Grady, was phenomenal - a treasure trove of information based on his 51 years of experience in conducting wine tours. My wife and I highly-recommend this excursion.

The long drive outside of San Francisco City was definitely worth it! Grady, our tour guide was very accommodating and shared to us various information about the wineries in Sonoma and Napa Country. The two wineries that we went to were unique on each own and offered to us their best wine samples. I had tasted each one and we all had a great time!

Overall the experience was good, the tour staff was amazing, very friendly. The bus was comfortable and the trip was very pleasant. Julian the driver is a highlights, he explains everything during the tour. I wish the wineries were better though, the second winery was okay, but it wasn’t great.

I was hoping for a smaller group based on the photo. That being said we still had a great time. The first stop at Madonna Estates was very educational with great wine tastings. The second stop at Muscardini Cellars was very relaxing. Makes sure to get the charcuterie.
