Fun Join-In Group Tours -- 2 Winery Tour
Join us to meet new friends and savor some of the finest wines in Sonoma County.
Explore three hidden gem, small-production wineries that we love to share with our guests. During your tasting experience, we'll join you to chat about travel, life, food, and, of course, wine.
This is a small group tour, and the wineries will seat our group together at a single table or two adjacent tables. Tasting fees are not included in the price of this tour and are payable directly to the wineries.
Tasting fees typically range from $20.00 to $35.00 per person, per winery.
We believe our guests should have the opportunity to have their tasting fees waived with minimum purchases or by joining wine clubs.
