No Ordinary Guide
This trolley tour is narrated by a local historian and actor who provides wine country tidbits and background on the wineries you may visit. While the wine tasting is the best way to learn about the varietals you’ll sip, your host shares historical trivia on the region, including California Historical Landmarks like the Bear Flag Monument.
