I bought this as a birthday present for my boyfriend as we never had gone wine tasting before or seen Alcatraz and thought it would make for a fun day and IT DID! The whole process was easy and enjoyable from being driven to Sonoma and the chosen wineries to being dropped off at Fisherman's Wharf for lunch to having tickets at will call for the ferry ride to Alcatraz. We thoroughly enjoyed our day because it didn't feel overly planned out and we were left to do what we wanted with loose structure

Our tour guide Heather was excellent and the wineries were great. The Alcatraz tour was really interesting. Definitely recommend!

This is a small group tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. I definitely recommend this for first time visitors to the SF/Wine country area.

A great way to experience 3 of the bay areas pleasures in one day. We enjoyed both wineries.The larger property had a very interesting free California Missions museum to go through.The second winery-much smaller-was a pleasure because of an excellent hostess,Pat. She also let us sample a more expensive wine not on the normal list.The drive was pleasant because of our friendly tour guide(Stephanie,I hope I got that right!)who kept up a friendly banter the whole way.The stop at Fort Point to view the Golden Gate bridge was short-I wish that had been longer.We got dropped off near Fisherman's Wharf and had at least 2 hrs. to eat and browse before making our way to the Alcatraz Ferry for that leg of the trip. We had over 2 hrs. on the island which may or may not be enough time for some folks(arrive at 4:15,depart at 6:30,approx.).For us it was fine,we were exhausted from a full day(my phone said I had nearly 19K steps for the day! Highly recommend for those who can handle a lot of walking!

Jeffery was an awesome guide. This was a full day of fun. Well worth the cost. The wineries were wonderful.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish! Heather was our tour guide for the Sonoma Valley Wine Tour and she was truly exceptional! Knowledgeable, friendly, excellent driver and provided us a lovely time to and from the wineries as well as some extra scenic stops!

amazing tour. Can't miss it.

Really enjoyed this tour....was a morning trip in Sonoma Wine Country, our guide was Jan and she was awesome. We liked that this was limited to a small group - 13 or less.

This tour included on your own - tickets to Alcatraz that we found out later was hard to get to unless you booked ahead. Alcatraz was very interesting and enjoyable. I do think it should be noted that the Alcatraz site is equal to walking up 13 stories. That was not a problem for us but it would be for many people. Alcatrez site can take a limited amount of people up using a small conveyance but most people walk.

That said - the tour was great and I would book through here again without hesitation.
