Not what expected

3.00The wineries they take you are all small and do not give you that “ France/ Luxe” feeling, also they did not go to Napa, but drive through. All the places they took us were not indeed NAPA. Sonoma was small and nothing to do. I guess, I expected more of those chateau wines places. Will definitely not do this specific excursion again. Widen I go again, I will make sure I know the places they will be taking us. This was not worth the money. The driver also talked to much about things that did not relate to the experience.

Very large disappointment

3.00Disappointed! Apparently there are 500+ wineries in Napa and Sonoma….. so why would the tour organisers choose a tasting session at Sutter Home ? ( purveyors of very average wine that can be picked up at the supermarket) The first winery was Madonna vineyard and they were excellent. A good selection of different wines to try . The second as mentioned previously, was Sutter Home and the 3rd was Napa estates .. also owned by Sutter Home !! Cone on lads, do a bit of research and find some more unusual vineyards! In addition, the bus used was in fairly rubbish Cindy, with an absence of shock absorbers and torn seating . The guide was average as well with some of his facts being plainly wrong Not recommended!
I enjoyed this tour

5.00I arrived closer to 8:25am, and the staff was helpful and provided a pleasant greeting. The driver was friendly and provided a lot of good san fran history along the way. He drove us safely and allowed us to stop at the NAPA VALLEY Sign and got us to the winery. There was a place for us to sit while learning about the wine at Madonna but everything was good. I also wish there was some food with the tasting.. but 90 min in Sonoma Square was perfect. The clear roof on the bus and cooler of water was a nice touch.
Hotel del Terror bad service, dirty and bad!

Horrible Ride
Kathy T,Dec 15, 2025
- Review from Viator
4.00The wineries and tour guide were all great What wasn’t great was the van used for transport. To say it was a bumpy ride is an understatement. The van definitely needs work on suspension it felt like you were hitting a pot hole at least every 15 seconds at one point I went airborne You couldn’t even rest your arm on window because it kept getting slammed. You couldn’t even type on your phone because yours hands were being knocked off phone . Words can’t describe how horrible the ride actually was. I did take a 3 minute video of the sound (slam slam slam) just to show people because without it you just can’t understand how bad it was. I would like the owner of the company to take the same ride Please take your van in for repair that’s a part of owning a business. Would def not recommend if there is a chance you could get same van
Pleasant and affordable!!! Great way to learn about Napa!

5.00It was very organized, stopped at all the beautiful sights along the way to Napa. We learned about the history of the towns along the way. The tour guide was very kind and personable. Fellow travelers were wonderful too. Bus has windows on the ceilings to really take in the beautiful scenery. The wineries were beautiful and the staff at each were so inviting and kind. I would recommend this over and over again. Easy way to stay safe and enjoy the vino!
