The views were beautiful, and everything felt well-paced from start to finish. The whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours and included 7 zip lines, which was such a fun adventure. The location can be a bit tricky to find, so I'd recommend giving yourself extra time and arriving at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour, as they suggest.

I can't 100% remember our tour guide names but I believe it was Aiden and Yivek (and I probably spelt those wrong). They were so funny and so knowledgeable. I loved learning about the trees and different birds while we were up on the line. The views were absolutely gorgeous and I was so grateful we got fantastic weather.

Nick was our tour guide both times, and as a self described "wine geek", he is a wealth of information. He lives in the area so he knows a ton about the culture, grape growing, wine making, and local vineyards. Compared to other private wine tours, the price is very competitive. ($80/person for a 3-hour tour or $110/person for 4 hours. Does not include tasting fees, but Nick took us to reasonably priced tasting rooms and you may find some discounts or specials.) We had a great experience and would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and different way to explore Napa or Sonoma!

Our Napa experience with Nick yesterday was better than we ever could have hoped! From the…read morebeginning Nick provided us so much information about the area, it's history, and the people and farming there. He started our with a classic Napa spot then took us to two smaller wineries that we never would have known about. The owners at the last two were extremely gracious and answered all of our questions (even the crazy ones). We even got to barrel taste at the final stop after touring their production area. If you are looking for a more unique way to see Napa than the normal car, the open air experience is very cool and allows you to be immersed in the the beautiful scenery of the valley. This is one tour you will not regret!! Thanks Nick!!!

Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring at the Menagerie Hill Ranch in Vacaville, California…read more Life can be interpreted as more fulfilling when filled with adventures. It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

This was a memorable trip. We were originally slated to visit in late June before my birthday but…read moreboth Deb and Kirk were recovering from surgery. We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

It was about $14 each to enter, which was a little pricey for what we saw. You are able to do the entire space under an hour if you so wish. The people who work here are kind.

They also have a lot of informational plaques around.

It's about a mile total around the inner loop + the out and back for some additional scenery. It is a little hilly but not too bad, my 65 year old mother was able to walk the entirety of the loop. The petrified wood is pretty cool along with all of the lava stone and ash. The trees are pretty huge. It was $14 which I thought was a little steep for how much (or little) there was to see, but I don't regret going.

I had heard of them through Sonoma…read moreCounty Farm Trails and then followed them on social media for updates on their "high bloom" lavender season. Following their posts is a good way, in addition to the website to get details on ticketed entry, status of the fields and other openings they might have through the year. It's how I found out they'd have an extra opened day on Monday July 3rd. I took the day off and was able to enjoy the fields, crowd free. They do limit the number of visitors and set a 75 timed entry window. You do a complete loop around the fields, but not walk through the rows or have any u-pick opportunities. The location up on a hillside with sweeping views guarantees you a gorgeous shot no matter where you're standing. The folks checking visitors in and running the farm stand were very nice and welcoming. I purchased some lavender honey and lavender scrub from their on-site store. I sampled their lavender essential oil as well-something they are very proud of! It was wonderful. A short tour is offered as part of your admission but I opted out. I didn't think I'd spend the entire time window here but did! Very peaceful and beautiful place. You can also bring a picnic lunch and they have some tables over by a small pond. Just an all around fantastic lavender experience.

Recently we told our friends about how great the tour was and decided to go with them. We purchased tickets through Groupon and emailed them to make the reservation. They emailed back that day asking what time we wanted to go on the tour. I responded the next morning with the time. I have not heard from them via email or phone since I responded with the requested time. They have not returned any phone calls or emails. This company has completely gone down the drain. That's too bad because we had such an amazing time when we took a tour with them last year.
