This was an unplanned tour that turned out to be most worthwhile. While vacationing for a week in Monterey, our party of four had occasion to drive through the Salinas Valley and we were intrigued by the acres and acres of differing hues of green and sometimes red crops. We amused ourselves by trying to guess what the various crops... More

We booked this at the last minute and we were pleasantly surprised. Owner/operator Evan is very knowledgeable about the area as well as the wine business. We enjoyed the wine tastings, lunch was simple but delicious, and customer service was excellent. We visited 3 wineries in the Salinas Valley and it filled the entire day. More

We enjoyed a half day wine and agriculture tour with Evan, owner and tour host. I emailed Evan a few days earlier letting him know our interests, and he put together a spot on selection of vineyard, wineries, and a farm to visit. We have a particular interest on the agricultural side of grape growing. Evan's professional background is exactly... More

We had such a great time with our knowledgable and friendly guide/driver www.agventuretours.com . One of my... More

During a recent 3 week trip of the States, we took a variety of tours from hop on hop off buses to a 4 day fully escorted trip. This tour, with Evan, seemed the most expensive on a per hour basis but turned out to be the best of our trip. He tailored the tour to our interests and because... More
