Went with girlfriends on this 3-in-1 tour. The selection of the first winery was great, we loved the venue and style, demonstration, and the grounds. Selection of the second winery, Russian Valley Wineries was not successful at all. The overall experience was damaged by offering only 1 glass, requiring visitors to discard the remaining wine after your tasting, then washing your glass before offering the next round of the wine tasting. What is the issue to provide 5 clear glasses to your visitors??? Additional down side of the wine tasting process was offering paper !!! cups for regular water. The look on the table was absolutely not pleasant, glasses and paper cups. The tasting was outside at 32C heat, which didn't add any happiness to the overall experience. Red Woods were great, a nice hike was much needed in between the wineries. The selection of the town for the launch was also not the greatest, small town main street didn't offer a lot of food choices. The driver, Vlad was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, entertaining all day along, we enjoyed every minute with him. He saved this review :)
