Northwest Wine Tasting Tour with Cheese and Chocolate
Description
No matter what you know (or don’t) about wine, we want your time with us to lead to a greater appreciation of what YOU like. This tour is dynamic. We visit multiple locations, trying different wines at each stop. We emphasize, but are not bound to, wines from the Pacific Northwest. We are not here to sign you up for a wine club. We organize a unique progression of tastings, providing the relevant context along the way for you to best understand each sip. Alongside the wines, enjoy an eclectic assortment of food pairings designed to induce curiosity and ignite taste buds. This tour is about exploration, discovery, and most importantly, enjoying each other's company. Every day is different. We invite you to come on this journey with us.

So much fun! Local wine choices were great and our tour guide was amazing! Met new friends that will now be old friends.
Will was fabulous! He catered the tour to us, and was super personable! We had so much fun exploring the downtown areas to places we probably would not have found on our own! 10/10
We had a fantastic time with Maia!! She was very knowledgeable about the area and the wines and chocolates!! We had a very fun time with her!!
We had a really great time on the wine, bread, cheese, and chocolate tasting tour in Seattle. Everything was thoughtfully curated, and the variety kept things interesting from start to finish. Each stop offered something unique, and the pairings were well chosen without feeling overwhelming. What really stood out was our tour guide Maia paid close attention to what we like, especially our wine preferences and made an effort to tailor the experience as we went along. It felt personal rather than scripted, which made the whole tour more enjoyable and engaging. Overall, it was a relaxed, delicious, and well-organized experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to explore Seattle’s food and drink scene.
The tour guide never showed up. We did make purchases from the shop at the starting point. The owner gave us the names of other chocolate shops in the area. We loved the chocolates. We were disappointed by being stood up.
Great time! Maia is fabulous and we tasted some great wine and treats. Give Maia a raise!
The tour was more than I expected. Maia, our tour guide, was excellent and very knowledgeable. The truffle shop was very interesting and I learned quite a bit about truffles.
I understand you only want positive reviews. I can't review your event because you cancelled the morning of the event without any back up options. Then Will who called to say, he would suggest some wine bars in Seattle and he never followed up. Disappointing experience with your company. Thank you for giving back the money. We are now familiar with the world of Trip Advisor.
We have been to Seattle frequently over the years, but have never really done much of the tourist activities that are there. We found ourselves in Seattle over the King holiday and decided to give this tour a try. It was very good and would recommend it highly. Will was our guide and was really interesting and helpful. We went to a number of places that we never would have if we had just gone to the market and walked around. It did not hurt that the weather was awesome!
Seattle has hopped on the food tour band wagon. So many good eats in the area and popular places. The thing that separates Sum Good Tours is the tours are tailored towards each group. Will made the tour personable and us feel comfortable; not stagnant. The bites were good with a thorough explanation and we were full at the end, which was crucial with the price, worth every penny! If you’re a couple, solo or have a family I recommend his. Thanks Will, small businesses 👍
