The open air was wonderful and our Tour Guide, Cable Car Christopher was fun, knowledgeable and very helpful. We would highly recommend this tour! Great wineries on the tour and a good lunch. Well worth the price!

Sonoma by trolly is a very special experience. First, you dont have to worry about drinking and driving. Chris, our trolley driver not only drives the trolley, but is energenic, fun, helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR! Even for someone who has alot of experience wine tasting. And gourmet lunch is included!

We wanted to enjoy every minute of wine country and not have to worry about driving. This tour gave us the best of both. Christopher the driver was amazing. He is very knowledgeable about the area and very entertaining. We stopped at 4 amazing winery's and enjoyed a delicious lunch from Girl and the Fig. I initially questioned spending as... More

Had a great time with Christopher as our guide on the trolley. The price seemed steep since there is a 50% off groupon going on for some time in may

We are so glad to hear you had a great time with our tour guide, Chris. He is absolutely an amazing character! Thank you for the review! FYI, the Groupon deal you mentioned is NOT us, but rather a copycat trolley service that started after us, and are using a confusingly similar name. We are the "original" Sonoma Valley Wine... More

This is THE trip for wine newbies. Christopher, our driver, was fun and informative. He knew the history of the valley and had many insights to the region and it's people. The wineries visited ranged from the very big to small private businesses. We had PLENTY of wine to try. And the catered lunch was excellent. I highly recommend this... More

He took us to 2 historical wineries and 2 family owned wineries. The wines were excellent at both locations and the catered lunch from the... More

We had a great time spending the day on the Wine Trolley of Sanoma Valley. Our host, Chris, was fun, upbeat and gave us lots of history of the wineries, valley and early settlers in the valleys. We paid for our own tastings, but they were only $5 - $10 each. Chris showed me some guide books that had two... More

Way better than I thought it would be. Sonoma has a lot more character than Napa and the trolley tour really shows it off.

My wife and I were visiting the Sonoma/Napa valley region and decided to take one of the numerous wine tours advertized online. We had never been on a wine tour. After calling numerous companies and speaking in person to several people we did not get a good vibe. We did not want to take and extremely expensive and pretentious limousine... More
