Sonoma Valley
WINE TOURS
Experience wine country as a local
We conduct tours in luxury Ford Expeditions accommodating up to six guests, with direct pickup from most Wine Country hotels. Our itineraries are tailored to your preferences, which may include specific wine types (like full-bodied reds or sparkling wines) and winery styles (small or large, historic or modern).
Each tour is different, but generally follows this enjoyable order: winery, lunch, winery, winery. You can even request specific wineries to visit! Come experience the beauty and charm of Sonoma Valley!
​Fully guided, individually planned private Sonoma Valley tours
led by a Certified Sommelier
Your day, your way!
We typically visit small, family-owned vineyards renowned for their artisanal winemaking techniques, with exclusive offerings available only in their tasting rooms. Here, winemakers warmly greet you, creating a friendly atmosphere that enhances your experience. Our certified sommelier guides ensure a knowledgeable and engaging journey.
A Perfect Day!
Our Sonoma Valley tour was very well tailored to our preferences and the communication with Max ahead of time was great. They were so on par with what we were looking for that we ended up becoming members of two of the wineries right off the bat. Special little gems, hidden from the beaten path and with great history, wines and scenery. Thank you, Max!

Opportunities for Adventures
Sonoma County is about four times the size of Napa, characterized by its mountainous terrain. For logistical reasons, we often divide Sonoma into two areas. While driving between these areas typically takes at least an hour, you can still request wineries from both regions.
Sonoma Valley also includes the American Viticultural Areas of Bennett Valley, Carneros, Moon Mountain, and Sonoma Mountain, boasting over 100 wineries along with the charming towns of Sonoma, Glen Ellen, and Kenwood. A bonus of this tour is that we can also visit the Carneros AVA of Napa.
Knowledgeable and Super Friendly
A tour with Max is like having a best friend who lives in Sonoma and knows all the cool places to go. And if you want to hit the usual suspects, he’ll take you there as well!! There is simply no competition for Max Wine Tours!

Private behind-the-scenes experiences
​
Compared to other regions, Sonoma Valley is more pastoral and laid-back, with some of the lowest wine tasting and bottle prices. We strive to take every tour into the vineyard and cellar, providing insights into grape-growing and fermentation processes, while offering a behind-the-scenes view into what goes into crafting a delightful bottle of wine. There’s always something to see and do throughout the year, making Sonoma Valley a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts!
Amazing curated tour!
A group of four of us visited Sonoma Valley and spent a day touring with Max. He was able to bring us to two very unique wineries with fantastic experiences in both wineries. We were the only group there we had also requested a more popular spot which we ended the day. Max was able to provide more insight to the wines and elevate the experience there. We highly recommend this tour and letting Max show you around!
