Fantastic way to spend 3 hours!

Published on Jan, 2025

We booked this tour last minute and were so glad we did! Our guide, Caroline, was THE BEST. Very knowledgeable about Sonoma (and surrounding areas) and very personable. The stops she took us to were perfectly curated and had a very personal feel. All locally owned and operated and sooooo good. I would HIGHLY recommend if you have some time and want to know the history and get a feel for the tastes and sips of Sonoma!

A great introduction to the food and history of Sonoma

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a great way to learn about the history of Sonoma and taste some great food and wine. Our guide, Abby, was knowledgeable and told great stories about the area and the community she clearly loves. Highly recommend.

Sonoma Education from History to Food

Published on Nov, 2024

Abby was our host and she did a terrific job of moving us along the history story of Sonoma and the bites of cheese, avocodo rellenos, exotic ice creams of diverse flavors, olive oil, flavored balsamic vinegars, wine and chocolates. Despite a rainy day, we enjoyed the entire experience so much. She was awesome at pointing out the highlight shops around the central park. We feel that information is power and now we have an insight of information for Sonoma visiting.

Best tour of the trip!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide Caroline was simply delightful to spend the afternoon with! We really appreciated being taken to places that made their own on site. Worth every cent!!!

Fun day in Sonoma

Published on Nov, 2024

Had a great experience on the Sonoma Food Tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sonoma. Our guide Caroline was wonderful and very informative. I loved getting a map of the Sonoma Square that was tailored to shops and restaurants I would like to go to after the tour.
