What people are saying about Sausalito

Anthony (our guide and driver) was amazing. He is super knowledgeable on wine but he also knows a lot about the San Francisco area and shared a lot of anecdotes. Also, he is hilarious and we spent most of the tour cracking up at his jokes. The wines we tried were amazing, and the wineries we visited were beautiful. The group size is perfect (not too small, not too big). A must do for those who want to enjoy (a lot of) Sonoma wines.

We really enjoyed Nick. He was friendly and shared a lot of information with us. We enjoyed all three wineries that we visited. It was a great trip to introduce us to California wine country. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
