I've lived in the Bay area for 50 years and have experienced the beauty and many of the changes. Much of this was the growth of the wine regions in Sonoma and Napa counties into what many people will say is the best wine country destination in the world. I am a Certified Tourism Ambassador with Sonoma County and have very close relationships with many of the wineries. Many of the winery owners and staff are friends of mine! My background includes being self-employed for close to 20 years and having the belief in providing the best services. I have a background in transportation, both professionally and competitive. My goal is to make your groups wine country experience seamless and worry free! Certified Tourism Ambassador with Sonoma County. TCP# 2034468-50 I have no specific restrictions as a guide or driver. Many of the wineries and sights that may be part of the tours may have their own restrictions for children, pets, handicap, etc.!

Overview of your Sonoma tour

This tour is focused on the wineries located in Carneros, just south of the town of Sonoma to the northern Sonoma valley. The Sonoma Valley AVA is located between the Napa Valley to the east and the rest of Sonoma county and the Pacific coast to the west. This region is also known as "The Valley of the Moon". The area is known for its unique "terroir" with Sonoma Mountain protecting the area from the wet and cool influence of the Pacific Ocean. The cool air that does affect the region comes northward from San Pablo Bay through the Los Carneros region and southward from the Santa Rosa Plain. Enjoy a personalized tour planned according to your group's interests. The history, beauty, and great wines will have you wanting to come back!
