We…read morecame for the farm tour and cheese tasting and I left feeling underwhelmed but optimistic better days were to come. Patty, the tour guide spoke about the history and her Peruvian partner's substantial impact on the business. She led us down the road to see the chickens, pigs, and goats and encouraged us to peek through the window of the factory, though it was close to the public because it had to stay sanitized. Not as educational as I had hoped Despite being an unusually warm day Patty insisted we do the cheese tasting outside. We tried 5 different types, and oddly I preferred the cows milk cheese despite her specialty being goats milk. I also wasn't enthused about having the tasting on an unstable picnic table surrounded by an endless number of flies we struggled to fight off, and the cheese was steadily melting. Not what I pictured for a cheese tasting. With some additional resources this place could be spectacular.

Patty, the owner, cheated me out of $200 for renting her my goats to eat her pasture. She only…read morechecked prices after the fact and decided to decrease her costs (with a witness) without even asking me. Then she wouldn't pay me and blackmailed me to sign a false receipt! She then rented my goats to another person without informing them of the cost. She thereby involved an innocent party in her scheme, again without asking me if moving my goats to another party's land was OK with me. My goats are my babies. I need to know where they are at all times. She claimed, after the fact, that I should have been driving a fair distance every other day to check on them. This was not part of our original deal. Besides, Patty OWNS A GOAT FARM AND SHOULD KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF GOATS! Patty advertises herself as a goat farmer, but she doesn't even have any of her own goats! This woman and her farm are a run-down fake. Patty is quite elderly and suffers from severe memory loss. She is not even able to walk into her pastures due to physical issues. Don't go there. You will be disappointed in the lack of authenticity. This goat farm is a definite has-been and suffers from deferred maintenance, an owner who can't remember anything, and junk strewn everywhere.

It was held at a beautiful winery and Healdsburg, and we were greeted with a glass of rosé. Donna was very communicative about the event, details and weather conditions before the event and engaging during the event.

I stayed out with the group. Our guide David was extremely knowledgeable and fantastic at answering any and all questions. The lunch was both beautiful and tasty, and accommodated for both vegan and vegetarian needs. Overall a great day. I've already recommended it to several of my friends!

We drove through the country side and through a beautiful park. Then we toured the town of Sonoma. Next Jesse made us amazing reservations for our wine tasting. We had a gorgeous view and took our time tasting several wines. Finally we took a drive through the actual vineyards with some great photo ops. Jesse could not have been nicer or a better guide. I did a lot of things while in the bay area/wine country and I have to say this was by far my favorite. Five stars all the way!!!

As novice winos, my bf and I decided to do the Healdsburg wine tasting and food pairing guided…read morewalking tour to help our growing wine palates. Best decision we made as this tour became one of the highlights of our trip. Molly, our host, was very friendly and informative. She took us to great tasting rooms with different wines and even offered awesome recommendations for foodie spots and other wineries to check out on our free day in Sonoma county. Luckily, we were the only people on this tour (went on a Wednesday) so we pretty much got a private tour at a group cost. The tour starts by meeting up in Healdsburg Plaza and takes about 3-4hrs from start to finish. It includes two non alcoholic spots so that you get a break and don't get completely wasted. I appreciated this since you're technically drinking about 4-5 glasses of 1-3oz pours at each tasting. The food paired with the wine were bite size pieces to help compliment the flavors, so don't expect full size meals when you do this tour. All stops were unique and was always different than the last. Molly took us to the following shops: -Downtown Bakery & Creamery -Stephen & Walker -Rockpile Vineyards -Russian River Tea Company -Spicy Vines We can't recommend this tour enough. I'm really glad we did it because we were able to try some wine that we never expected to have (spicy wine!!) but also got to see different parts of the the Healdsburg square area. If you're looking to kill some time with great food pairing and wine, definitely book this tour for your next day adventure. You won't regret it.

His knowledge not only of each restaurant and the story behind it but, of the wine and food itself made the experience almost surreal. We learned things about wine and food pairings that we thought to be myths in the past. Not only that, he made it so easy for us to take this knowledge home and try it with her own favorite wine and foods at home. Also, his personality is genuine and friendly, easy conversation and funny! We LOVED hanging out with him! My group and I had so much fun we were deeply saddened when we realized the tour was finally over. So whether you are heading into Healdsburg for a trip or live there and just want a day of amazing wine food and company I highly and when I say highly I truly mean HIGHLY recommend booking ma tour with wine and country walking tours

He gave us a quick tutorial on the e-bikes, making sure we were all up to speed and comfortable before we hit the road. Throughout the entire ride, James was constantly checking in to make sure we were doing okay, enjoying ourselves, and taking in the experience. The e-bikes were a blast to ride, but honestly, a huge part of what made the afternoon so enjoyable was the time we spent talking and getting to know James. James has an incredible wealth of knowledge about the Napa wine industry, and he was able to share so much interesting information along the way. But what really stood out was that his knowledge went far beyond wine. He was genuinely interesting to talk to, incredibly personable, and clearly someone who has a lot of experience and perspective on life. It felt less like we were simply on a guided bike tour and more like we were spending an afternoon with a great person who happened to know Napa incredibly well. The scenery, the bikes, the wine, and the conversation all made for a memorable experience.
