We loved this tour. Our host, Steve, picked us up at our AirBnB. The van was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Steve was delightful -- very knowledgable, courteous, fun, and attentive.
The trip took us to three small wineries and we sampled several wines at each. The wines were very good and included whites, roses, light reds, heavier reds, and a very tasty port. Plus we also had lunch and a great snack.
I highly recommend this tour -- we sampled great wines and learned a lot, including the sustainable methods used to produce this great wine.
Cheers!!

This was such a wonderful experience. From the time our tour guide Steven confirmed his pick time and being on time the fun began. We were celebrating ny Mom's birthday and Steven was such a great gentleman and guide. He was very knowledgeable about wine, showed a group of 8 alot of history and sights along the way. We went to private wineries and had a delicious lunch with newly made friends. We tasted alot of wine, wasn't rushed and met great people.

I highly recommend Sustainable Wine tours! The entire day was perfection. First, the was in a custom Mercedes van with very roomy seating. Second, each tasting was at a unique infamate setting. Third, provided fresh gourmet boxed sandwich lunch. We loved every winery so much we joined the wine club at each winery. Will definitely do again and bring friends. There was only one other couple in our van and they were wonderful and Scott (the owner) who led our tour provided lots of interesting background on each winery and the region. Also easy to book, great communication beforehand, and picked us up right on time. Can’t imagine it being any better.
