My husband and I absolutely loved it! The best part was walking the vineyard and picking grapes off the vines at Madonna Estate (a 100% organically grown grape winery). The wine tasting was fantastic! Also, was equally wonderful at V. Sattui and Sutter Home.

We loved the chance to sit back and relax while enjoying the sights of the wine country. Our driver was very informative and helpful, and we liked his humorous comments. The three wineries each offered something different and the stops in Sonoma for some cheese tasting added to the tour.
