Edge of the World Tours is a small, locally owned company led by lifelong San Franciscans eager to share the magic of their home. Their award-winning adventures blend vibrant city streets, towering redwoods, and hand-picked Sonoma...
Edge of the World delivers an outstanding Sonoma wine country experience, with guides like Marc, Anthony, and Anja earning particular praise for their knowledge, humor, and ability to create a warm, personal atmosphere. The small group size (maximum 13 people) consistently gets called out as a major plus, giving the tour a VIP feel while allowing guides to learn everyone's names and tailor the experience. Guests love the boutique wineries chosen for the itinerary, where you'll often meet actual winemakers rather than just tasting room staff. The guides also weave in fascinating California history during the drives, making the entire day educational and entertaining. One reviewer with Paul as their guide had a different experience, noting the pace felt rushed at wineries with limited free time to relax, plus a lot of chatter during the nine-hour day. They spent more time than needed at lunch but felt hurried at the actual vineyards. That said, this appears to be an outlier. The overwhelming majority describe their tours as perfectly balanced between informative and relaxing, with guides who clearly have strong relationships with the wineries they visit. Hotel pickup and drop-off add convenience, and many guests mention it was a highlight of their San Francisco trip. Solo travelers particularly note feeling welcomed and comfortable joining the small groups.
Wow! I don’t know what else to say. Absolutely amazing! My wife and I (along with the others) were blessed to have Anthony as our guide. Outstanding guy, knowledgeable, passionate, knows the history, knows wine country, and very funny. The tour alone is worth every penny and honestly more, having Anthony is a fun bonus! I would pay just to ride in a van with Anthony and listen to him talk about the city or anything else. The van is very nice and clean and always parked in a good spot. Now for the wine portion, we loved it! Each winery was unique and offered a different experience and all were great. I assume the winery options change with each tour but we visited Peter Cellars, Séamus Wines, and B.R. Chon. We purchased beautiful wines from 2 of the 3 wineries and even shipped some to our house. The scenery and settings were beautiful (especially Chon…wow), the wines were delicious, and we actually learned A LOT…all while drinking which is scientifically proven to boost comprehension and retention of knowledge. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing it. The small group experience is unbearable, it gives a VIP feel. We will absolutely book again on another trip out. Thanks again for a great time.
