Review of Gray Line’s Napa and Sonoma wine tour from San Francisco, with three tastings, Sonoma Plaza, Golden Gate views, price, and practical tips.

“It was great with a small group, we were only about 20-22 persons. Engaged and welcoming employees att all three places. Nice and different small wineyards. Artesa Winery was the most spectacular one with fontains and art. It was also very nice meeting and talking to people from different parts of the world. The bus vas comfortable with access to free wifi.”

Ride Sonoma’s countryside by electric trike, with local history, vineyard roads, wine tasting, and Vella cheese for $175.

“It’s way too expensive for what it is. You don’t get to drive much, most of the time just made multiple stops here and there to learn about the history. Our tour guide was very informative, but for this type of activity we don’t think it was worthy of what we paid for. $50 at most would’ve been reasonable.”

Review of the North Georgia Wine Country Tour from Atlanta, with three tastings, Helen free time, transport details, costs, and practical tips.

“We had a truly wonderful experience on our recent individual/group wine tour, departing from downtown Atlanta. The trip exceeded our expectations, largely due to our excellent and highly knowledgeable driver. They were clearly experienced with the North Georgia vineyards and provided valuable insights throughout the day. We visited three exceptional wineries, each of which was perfectly prepared for our group, offering engaging presentations on their history, winemaking techniques, and comprehensive details for every tasting. The inclusion of a leisurely few hours in Helen, Georgia, was a delightful addition. This tour was both highly informative and incredibly enjoyable!”

Review of Temecula’s sunrise hot air balloon flight, with wine-country views, champagne, practical tips, pricing, and honest drawbacks.

“Great experience! The burner inside the cart was a little loud so recommend maybe bringing some cheap hearing protection, but not too bad. It was so peaceful while up in the air and seeing all the wineries. Pete was great and was very knowledgeable of the area and the fundamentals of hot air ballooning, answering all the questions the passengers had. Cold in the morning yes, 40 degrees in April but not unbearable, bring a beanie. Easy check in pocess!”

“This bike riding adventure was so disappointing!!! From the moment we walked into your shop on 5th St in Santa Rosa, we knew we were in big trouble. After receiving numerous emails and texts about this fantastic bike ride, and after paying $280 for two people, the guy in the bike shop could not find our reservation.....at all! He ended up just telling us to select any two bikes, handed us two helmets and said to come back before 4:00 p.m. What? Is that a professional thing to do? We didn't sign a waiver, or anything. (In fact, we could have rode off with two electric bikes and no one…”
