My wife and I recently finished a private tour with Ed & Sonja. Right off the bat they were on top of things and picked us up on time from the Renaissance in Sonoma. We introduced ourselves as tasting novices, and they assured us we were in good hands. Overall we visited 5 wineries across the Sonoma valley, and finished... More

I recently went to Healdsburg on a girl's trip in late March. Ed & Sonja picked us up promptly at our scheduled time. We had a few vineyards in mind we wanted to go to, but Ed & Sonja took us to many of their local favorites. Every bottle we purchased was carried out to the van and umbrellas were... More

We enjoyed our day with Bob. He picked us up promptly in a spotless SUV and took us to four small family-run wineries in the Sonoma area that we would never have visited ourselves. Tasted some very yummy wine. It was raining, so our picnic was a no-go, but he took us to a local deli for sandwiches instead, which... More

My wife and I traveled to Sonoma for our first time in April, 2012, After researching several wine tour options, we decided to go with Valley Wine Tours--best decision we could have made! Ed and Sonja were delightful from the time they picked us up to the time they dropped us off at our hotel. They managed the perfect balance... More

This was my 2nd time using Valley Wine Tours and will use them again and again! The first time I went with my husband and we did the Sonoma region. The second time I went with a group of 6 girls and we did the Russian River region. Our guide was Bob both times and he was awesome! My husband... More

I cannot say enoiugh good things about Valley Wine Tours and our Tour Guide Bob. This was our first trip to wine country, and Bob made the experience one we will never forget. Bob picked out the perfect wineries for our tour. He educated us through the entire trip. He was informational, humerous, and an all around great guy. My... More

I have been to Napa and Sonoma many times (from Kentucky) and have been on several wine tours. This was the best by far. We were with two other couples so the tour group was small. We visited what I would call boutique wineries and we actually met a couple of wine makers. Bob Howells, the tour guide, was incredibly... More

Fantastic tour of some off-the-track boutique/ family run wineries in Sonoma. Bob was a charming, personable and professional guide - full of knowledge and expertise. He is clearly passionate about the region's wine and history, and he made the tour interesting, fun and informative. I would really recommend it to anyone new to the area and looking to get away...

For our first trip to "wine country," we wanted to start with a tour to learn the ropes, but I wanted the group to be small. Our tour with Ed was wonderful, and now I wouldn't consider a day of wine any other way! Our group tour was small, 2 couples in all, chauffered in a private SUV. We visited... More
