Love the Wine Line and Larry!
This was just what we were looking for! We got to choose which wineries we were going to go! We ordered the sandwiches (which were good), had door to door service and the best driver of all time! Larry was the best and really added the personal touch. And as we said ” Larry you have our heart and soul”! If it is possible to request a driver request Larry you won’t be disappointed!!! Thanks Wine Line and Larry!!! Carolyn

Great Day of Wine Tasting
Larry made our day of wine tasting a breeze! How nice to not worry about driving. There was only one other group of three people in our van that day and Larry managed to get them where they wanted to go and us where we wanted to go. We did the West side trail, which we really enjoyed. We visited Treana, Niner(loved), Pellitiere (favorite, because of the excellent wine), Summerfield and Hunt. Good overview. Larry was always on time and a really fun guide. The day before, we were on our own and visited some wineries not on the tour. Tablas Creek was excellent and I highly recommend them if you can drive up on your own.

The Wine Line is such a great concept! the staff was friendly and we never felt rushed or forced into a place. Larry was our guide and was amazing! It is also great value for how flexible it is!

Jason and Joni were awesome! Super friendly, knowledgeable about the wineries and gave expert advice. They treated my girlfriends and I with fantastic service from pick up to drop off- every hop on the line. You’ll be thanking ME when you’re finished

This was my first wine tour and it was so much fun. Larry was our driver and he was so accommodating and helpful with giving us tips on what wineries we would like. Next time I come and do another wine tour, I’m definitely booking wine line and asking for Larry because he was the best! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I’m just blown away!  And big shout out to Larry for just RULING The Wine Line, huh?  Thanks to all of these kind folks and to Larry.  Good stuff!
