“What an Experience! - Such a brilliant experience. No hiccups, great from start to finish. The driver of the bus was so informative of the surroundings on the way over to Sonoma. The wineries and vineyards were stunning, and Sonoma Square was the perfect spot for browsing and having lunch. I took so much away from the day, and learned so much about wine in general. Really brilliant experience and beautiful day out!” - Reviewed at 2025-05-07
