Sometimes there is live music which is a treat. They offer food from Finnegan's which is a couple doors down. The service is always friendly.

She is very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed all of our pairings. We had friends in town, who came just for this experience! She mentioned she also does similar tours in Sausalito & Napa. I tried my first food tour at Pike's Place Market, in Seattle. It's a great way to get to know a new foodie town or in this case, get a deeper knowledge and appreciation for a great place closer to home. We especially liked be taken to a tucked away Indian restaurant to try a dish we've never had before. With a paired wine of course!

They are prepared w/ a Luxury black shuttle van. Paul (our driver) was so informative and so knowledgeable about the Sonoma and Napa History. I appreciate how they already had an itinerary planned out for the day. We visited 4 wineries which one had a wonderful farm to table lunch waiting for us (which this was included in ticket price) Each winery visited made us feel at home/great stories/great people and great wine waiting for us upon arrival! Wine tasting fees are addl around $35-40 per person. Our last winery visited Paul helped us to get TSA approved shipping boxes which wine got home safely! Wish we could've stayed longer at Buena Vista and Sangiacomo. Would highly recommend wine trolley/bus tour and felt ticket price was reasonable for having great service/knowledgeable driver/lunch for an all day tour.

What a fun experience! Highly recommend this fun trolley tour!…read more We had an intimate group of 8 people. Two honeymooners and two mom daughter duos. We were all laughing and have such a great time together! Our guide Paul was hilarious and had lots of great knowledge of the area. Everyone is small business owned at the places we stopped at and also felt very natural and warm. The interactions with everyone was fun and I definitely got some wine knowledge too! We stoped at four places. One beautiful vineyar with spectacular views, a food terrace and wine tasting area, a winery and makery, and another wine tasting bar. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend!

Pacheco Ranch Winery was a magical spot to get married in a gorgeous outdoor setting. From the…read morebeginning, Deb and Herb Rowland, the owners, were so thoughtful and gracious; an absolute pleasure to work with. We loved that Deb provided great resources for vendors she has worked with, but that she is also flexible and willing to work with others you want to bring in. They clearly take so much pride in what they do and it absolutely shows in the warm and personal experience you have at Pacheco. The property is adorned with citrus trees and flowering vines, beside the hillside vineyards, waterfall stream and the lovely old farmhouse. It's tucked into a small valley, protected from the wind. In the evening, strings of bistro lights make the dining and dance area twinkly and romantic. Our guests loved the space and kept commenting on how beautiful, relaxing and unique it was. Deb answered all of our questions leading up to the event very helpfully and provided a site plan to help vendors understand where to install things like the tables, dance floor, bar and buffet. We really appreciated how responsive she was and how willing to troubleshoot any unexpected issues. Beyond which, she and Herb and their employee Ann are so sweet and fun to be around. We're very happy we picked Pacheco as our wedding venue. If you're looking for somewhere personal, beautiful and one of a kind to tie the know, you will love it too.

On the day of the wedding, Herb and Deb were directing traffic, managing vendors, and clearly enjoying every moment of it. They take so much pride and love in caring for their home, and it shows in the natural beauty that flows throughout the ranch.

We danced in the roped-off street to Doc Kraft. We played skee ball that day, too. We've danced indoors, too. My favorite is Jay Lewallen, who has sometimes paired with other musicians.

The back patio has a lovely water feature. Everyone who works there is personable and helpful. They always have a few items that would make interesting gifts like candle holders from barrel planks, at times.

Wine Country Destinations was recommended to us by a friend and what a great recommendation it was!…read more We started planning the trip with Rose several months in advance and she was a pleasure to work with. Throughout the planning process she gave us details upon details on several different wineries we could visit and updating them according to our tastes. Once the tour was booked, the remainder of the process was seamless. The tour itself was outstanding. We wanted to visit 'off the beaten' path type wineries and that's exactly what Rose had booked for us. Each of the three wineries had such included such a special experience. Our driver was incredibly nice also... just the icing on the cake to feel safe while driving through the mountains. I would highly recommend using WCD if you're in the market for a wine tour.

Everything ran on time even with multiple stops throughout the day, which was our biggest worry with that many people to coordinate. We shopped around quite a bit for shuttle services and they had the best rates for our group size. But what really impressed us was how flexible they were when we needed to make some last-minute changes to timing and pickup spots. They could have been difficult about billing adjustments but really went out of their way to make sure we were happy. It's clear they actually care about taking care of their customers, not just getting through the job. Made one less thing for us to stress about on an already busy day. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone needing reliable transportation in the area
