Like fine wine, this is a classic tour that has been a favorite to over 2 million visitors every year to this sunny and warm region on the Monterey Peninsula in California. This region and Monterey serve as the gateway to the impressive Big Sur.

We begin with a relaxing drive to Healdsburg to taste wine from two of the most popular wineries in the Dry Creek Valley; Kendall Jackson and Windsor. This warm California region has been long known for its quality Zinfandel and Petit Syrah.
