Your Wine Tour Guide

Russ became passionate about wine after his first visit to San Francisco in 1994. His many trips to Sonoma and Napa Counties have enabled him to develop tours with a continued learning basis about the grapes, the wines, and the wine making process used in the region. His vision is to extend to his guests the opportunity to visit small family owned wineries where grapes have been grown and wine has been made for generations. He presents the true experience of Wine Country, not a huge commercial buy the wine anywhere tour. Russ wants you to learn, enjoy and experience all that the number one wine producing region in the United States, known throughout the world, has to offer. Not only does he have great fun hosting his groups but he also enjoys arranging tours and tastings for those wishing to experience both San Francisco and Wine Country. After so many years of exploring Wine Country, his desire is to share his experiences with you. His hope is that you will enjoy the wine tasting adventure as much as he does.

The tour price includes: roundtrip airfare to San Francisco, 7 days ground transportation that includes airport pick up and return, 6 nights lodging, 15 winery visits, 5 lunches, a farewell dinner and all taxes and fees.

If tasting wine with wine makers, personal winery tours, viticulture, wine and food pairings and enjoying the outdoors are what you're looking for, then welcome to beautiful Northern California.

Our journey begins once we cross San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge and continue north on Highway 101, into Sonoma County. We arrive at the Hilton Sonoma Wine Country Hotel, check in and enjoy a Welcome Wine & Cheese Reception. Here, we will spend our next six nights. This is California's Wine Country at its best.

During the day, we tour exceptional wineries and taste great wines. We go behind the scenes, places reserved for special guests, and learn from the best wine makers anywhere. For lunch, we picnic in the beautiful settings of four wineries where we are treated to fresh local fare and fine wines. During the evenings, we dine at five of the area's great restaurants.

On Saturday morning, we bid farewell and board the plane for our return flight home.
