Behind The Scenes Wine Tours

We loved our wine tasting tour with Dena! We couldnt have asked for a better guide and we had a wonderful time at each winery. The wine and company at each location were amazing! We will definitely book with Dena when we are back in the area!

Very relaxed and insightful tour that was not rushed and made for a perfect day. The wines were incredible, especially the Chardonnays, and the history of the area from true locals was very insightful.   This tour was perfect for us, intimate and informative. And, after several tastings, we were very happy not to have to drive!

Great wine tour with Dena. We loved the tastings and the short drive into the vineyard. What a beautiful area. Our picnic lunch at Puma Road was delicious. I would highly recommend taking a tour. Dena was flexible to what we wanted but also provided excellent recommendations. I also liked the info she shared about the area and the winemaking process. She picked us up at Yanks RV resort which was super convenient.

Dena was absolutely amazing in helping me celebrate a milestone birthday with my husband and friends while staying at Carmel Valley Ranch.  I have planned and participated in many wine tastings in Northern CA over the years and I really wanted to just enjoy and not worry about planning, scheduling, timing, reservations, etc.  We entrusted Dena with EVERY detail including winery locations, tasting appointments, timing, lunch (an amazing bbq hosted by her husband!) and she was the perfect knowledgeable guide.My group of 8 felt so relaxed and we could truly focus on just enjoying time together.  She even took photos for us (both posed and candid) so we didn't even have to worry about that!  She got us set up at every winery with a host and seating and the whole day was just seamless.Dena is knowledgeable and personable and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to have a relaxing and enjoyable wine tasting experience.  Thank you, Dena!

Had some out-of-state relatives in town and wanted to go on a nice wine tour without all the hassle of driving up to Napa (from Hollister) and trying to figure out which wineries to visit.  Found Behind the Scenes Wine Tour and reached out to Dena.  Communication with Dena was easy  and she answered all my questions.  We went with the Deluxe Tour and it was perfect!  We visited Odonata, Puma Road and Pessagno.  The wineries we visited were beautiful and the people there were so nice and welcoming - not to mention all the delicious wines we ended coming back home with.  We were able to talk to one of the wine makers while we were at Puma Road and another person while at Odonata.  It was very educational.  Dena also prepared a very delicious picnic lunch for us.  I would highly recommend Dena and hope to schedule another tour with her again in the future!
