Top 10 Hop-On Hop-Off Tours in California, United States
California is a fertile, peaceful place where you’ll find a near-equal balance of vineyards and deserts, beaches and mountains, hippies and traditionalists. Catch an epic wave in Big Sur or swirl a glass in Napa Valley. Be dazzled by the Joshua Tree night sky or just star-gaze in Hollywood. Swish down the slopes of a Tahoe ski resort, or cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge with the top down and the music blasting. Above all, don’t forget to soak up some Golden State sunshine.

Just went this past weekend for Mother’s Day 5/8/2021. Chose the East Side tour and went to Hemingway first. Gorgeous winery with a very chill vibe. They were just setting up for mid-afternoon music but we were scheduled to have lunch at Robert Hall. Our driver Spencer got us there exactly at 1pm. At this point we are starving and little tipsy from the first tasting. Come to find out the kitchen is closed for lunch at 1pm. Yes, that is ridiculous!! We begged our waiter to bring us something more than cheese and bread and he begrudgingly brought us out 2 sandwiches. My vegan daughter who was also ravenous AND tipsy had nothing to eat. I complained the Jason at the Wine Line. He was shocked that they were closed for lunch. He offered to supply a veggie wrap at a cost. Little shocking to us, since he should have known that our only lunch spot would not be serving lunch. Finally, he offered to pay for the sandwich and Spencer had it available at our next winery which was Eberle. We skipped Penman because we drove by it on the way to Hemmingway’s and it looked sad. I’m sure they have great wines. Anyway, back at Eberle all is good. They have a beautiful tasting spot in the shade looking out over sprawling vineyards. Definitely the best stop. Shout out to our driver Spencer who was over the top helpful and a pleasure to chat with. All and all a good bordering on great experience!!

I booked this trip about five days ahead of time and was pleased to get a quick response that they could accommodate our group of four. Jason was quick to respond and very pleasant to do business with. Our driver Spencer was amazing! He had just the right amount of laid back, "enjoy your time tasting", and the right amount of "hey...it's about time to get going." We will definitely book another Wine Line tour for our next trip to the Paso Robles area!! Hopefully, we can have Spencer as our driver again!!
