There was a bona fide acquaintance with people and wine. The second winery visit was to a more upscale venue, but with an excellent wine-tasting pour person. The food stop in Sonoma town was a pleasant surprise for both history/tradition and food. We have spent much time working and visiting in the Yucatan, and found the Maya Cafe cuisine somewhat Americanized but true to Yucatan food offerings.”

“I made friends from around the world on this fun, little tour. We stopped at the Korbel Winery and tasted the most delicious California champagnes, which are not your typical grocery store variety. They also shared the rich history of the winery, dating back to the 1800s. We then hiked a little over 2 miles to see the oldest tree in the redwoods - the Colonel Anderson, which is over 1,400 years old - before visiting a delightful boutique winery, the Horse & Plow, for delicious Pinot Gris and charcuterie. It was simply lovely and I'd highly recommend it. No food is included, so grab some snacks to take along…”
