Healdsburg Wine Tours, specifically Sid Sadeghian, was outstanding in every respect. Sid provided a well-crafted itinerary in advance and interacted with us to ensure the fullest experience. At every turn, Sid looked for opportunities to focus our valuable time on the wine touring experience, the very best, small wineries and ensured private wine tastings that provided valuable information and were extremely educational, The tour Sid designed was chocked full of vineyards and wineries that that most people don’t get the opportunity to visit, where the wine makers and managers honed in on the differences between the grapes, the wines, how they’re made, and the process of tasting the wines. The Healdsburg Wine Tours process was flexible, considerate, and customizable, and addressed our interests completely. We will definitely return to Sonoma and Healdsburg Wine Tours, and place ourselves in Sid’s experienced hands!

We were spoiled to have Sid guide us through our first day in wine country. He arranged our full itinerary – four stops that showed the wonderful variety of wineries and vineyards in Alexander Valley. We loved meeting the winemakers (one in his own home!) and the private attention we received at every spot. It is so nice to be able to walk right in, have a spot ready for you with snacks and food pairings, and someone to take the time to personally talk about the wine…and not worry about tasting fees or standing at the counter and working/waiting for the tasting room staff’s attention. We know we could have never received this level of personal attention without his connections. We toured in a clean and comfortable Escalade and the lunch he arranged at Jimtown was perfect. Sid also made wonderful recommendations for meals and things to do over the rest of our trip. He was a wonderful tour guide and we know we will be back!

Our day of visiting wineries with Sid was truly a first class experience. I contacted Sid only a week before our visit to Healdsburg, and he put together a customized day for the two of us. This was definitely more than simply being driven to tasting rooms. He contacted each winery in advance and set up our visits. We began with a private tasting in noted vintner’s home (where we had a great chat with the wife of the vitner), then moved on to a series of private tastings, including one winery that normally has a wait list for visits. We felt very pampered. Sid knows his stuff and is clearly well-respected by the community. He is more than willing to tailor your day to your preferences. While it is easy to visit places on your own in the Healdsburg area, you get a truly special experience with Sid. I look forward to doing it again soon.
