If you want to truly experience Wine Country to its fullest, you need to get in touch with Tony. He provided a high class, top notch experience for my group of 4 to tour Sonoma. We were first time visitors to Wine Country and hired Tony for an 8 hour tour of Sonoma to celebrate my 40th birthday. I was overwhelmed at all of the winery options but Tony helped us craft the perfect itinerary for our day well in advance and even called to book our tastings for us prior to our trip. He was very prompt, his vehicle was immaculate and very comfortable and he came fully loaded with water and ingredients for Mimosas. At each stop, he would walk us in and connect us with the concierge, make sure we got settled and then let us enjoy our tours and tastings. When we were done at each place, he would be there waiting for us with the car running and cooled off (it was in the high 90's when we visited). Tony was also very flexible and allowed us to switch up our final stops for the day. I am already looking so forward to our next trip to Wine Country and without a doubt will be using Tony again in the future! Thank you Tony!

I would very highly recommend using this company for your trip to Napa/Sonoma. Tony was an absolutely amazing guide. I can't say enough good things!
From the moment I called him, he was kind and helpful. He was able to help my friends and I craft the perfect itinerary for our girl’s trip by making great recommendations. On the day of, he picked us up right on time and drove us around all day, letting us listen to whatever music we chose. He was a very safe driver and pleasant to be around. He also walked us into each winery to make sure everything went smoothly, and was waiting for us outside each winery when we were done.
Tony was truly excellent. Definitely call him when planning your next wine tour! Thanks Tony!

Fabulous Wine Country tour with Tony as our "Concierge Master". His expertise, wine knowledge and insider tips were optimal for experiencing Sonoma, Yountville, Napa and more!! Restaurant suggestions were offered and he made all of our reservations so we could continue chatting and enjoy the scenery. Perfect way to reconnect with our friends without the hassle of searching reviews and negotiating traffic to find the restaurant or wineries. Our group of 5 have visited many wineries in California, Oregon, Washington, Italy and France, and we all agreed that the special winery tours he arranged were in a class with the best we have experienced. Tony made sure our 2-day tour was first-class. Besides being a consummate professional and flexible to our needs, his good nature and gentlemanly manner added so much to the experience. He dropped us at the door and with his charm and care we all felt well taken care of. Tony knows the area intimately and has the connections and helpful information that enhanced our girl’s weekend considerably. We are so lucky to have found him!

We used this service for a Napa Valley wine tour. I can't begin to tell you how amazing Tony is! My friend mainly dealt with the initial contact and logistics of the trip but I was told he responds promptly. We were picked up at our hotel in a Suburban by 9:30am. There's 3 rows of seating if you have a semi larger group but our group of 4 had plenty of room. He provides bottled water and candies to snack on for that hour or so trip to Napa. Tony was completely professional but by the end of the trip he's like the friend you've always had. He escorts you into each winery to ensure you're in the right spots and is a phone call away when you're ready to hop to the next one. He used to be a fashion photographer so he was great at knowing where to take pictures for the perfect lighting. Tony is super accommodating if you randomly choose to make an unexpected pit stop. He is a ball of knowledge and I felt completely safe (no sketchiness here). The costs compared to a Napa tour was cheaper and you are able go on your own schedule. I 100% recommend him!

Tony was such an exceptional host who gave us a wonderful day to remember. From our initial conversation when he asked detailed questions about which types of wines our group preferred to the end of our day together he was professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. He suggested several great wineries in the Dry Creek Valley area that were a perfect fit for our wine preferences. He was early to pick us up in a fabulous SUV and we arrived to our first winery just as they were opening. He had waters and snacks waiting for us in the car. His knowledge of the area and winemaking in general is superb. He really went above and beyond in every way possible to ensure our day was perfect (even cleaning up our lunch mess!). At the end of the day he helped carry in all of the wines we purchased. We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us explore the region. We hope to be back soon!!!

If I could give my experience more than 5 stars, I would. Tony offers the BEST customized wine tour service in the Napa/Sonoma valley. My friends were visiting from the east coast and, of course, wine country was a must on our full itinerary.
Tony called me in advance of my reservation to gather information about my group, likes/dislikes and "must-see" wineries to personally customize a tour for us. The day of the excursion, Tony arrived early to pick us up and answered all of our wine country questions during the ride (even the silly ones). At each winery, he escorted us inside and spoke with the sommelier's to craft tastings off the menu (some that were even considered "reserve"). It's apparent Tony has a passion for wine and a great sense of humor. I've already run out of his business cards... thanks again Tony!

Amazing wine tour and 5 star experience with Tony! Tony was very punctual, patient and accommodating. Whatever we asked Tony for, he was able to deliver. Although my group was not on time, Tony changed the itinerary to fit our schedule. We also had a toddler and he was able to accommodate the tour for it. We felt like felt like VIP everywhere we went. If you are looking for a wine tour in Napa or Sonoma, you have to book with Tony. He far exceeded our expectations.

Tony is incredible and planned a day filled with premium locations, first class customer service and much appreciated flexibility. He designed a tasting itinerary that was perfect for our party of four. The Suburban that we rode in was immaculate, comfortable and well stocked with chilled sparkling wine and bottles of water. Tony really did think of everything for us to have a care free, amazing wine tasting experience in Sonoma. I'd definitely recommend using Wine Country Confidential.
Thank you for an amazing day!

We recently traveled out to San Francisco and Wine Country. Tony met us at the airport and from the moment we met him, we knew our trip was going to be PERFECT! He made our ride to wine country very enjoyable. He pointed out sights on the way and was a great tour guide! We had car service with Tony all days we were in wine country. He was amazing! He brought us to all the wineries we wanted to see and made some wonderful recommendations as well. He always took us right up to the door and made sure we were taken care of when entering the wineries. He brought us to some amazing lunch places and just made us feel so comfortable. He was always on time and always willing to wait for us, if we were running behind. We stayed in wine country for 5 days and then he took us back to San Francisco. He heard us speaking about wanting to stop at the Golden Gate Bridge and sure enough the next stop was a beautiful spot to see the bridge! I would highly recommend Tony to any person who wanted the most professional, first class, caring, service around!

If you don't call Tony for a tour in Napa you are missing out! He is the best guide I have ever met and I not only travel the world but also plan events all over the place. Having never been to Napa/ Sonoma area before, Tony called me a few weeks before and asked me about the group and what we wanted to see/do. He told me he would get back to me in a few days with an itinerary. We had a group of 9 so we made a challenge for him :) We had the best day! He was on time (and helped us stay on time), professional, organized the best sandwiches ever, and was so friendly. Not only did we feel very VIP but I also felt like Tony was our friend and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. I can't wait to come back again!
