We loved this tour! Best tour we have ever been on - hands down. Peter was our guide for the day and was an absolute delight. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and a wonderful human being. We really loved all his stories. Booking the tour was so easy! Bob explained everything thoroughly over the phone and again in writing, responses were quick, and he was very pleasant to deal with. Could not recommend this company more.

We loved our tour with Valley Wine Tours last month (I should have written this sooner because I can't remember our wine educator - I think it was David). We had plenty of time at each winery, David was very knowledgable about the area and the wineries, and lunch was delicious. All 4 wineries we went to were great!
