Frequently asked

It depends on the tour, but most include round-trip transportation, the experience itself, and a boxed lunch or catered meal. Cannabis and alcohol purchases are never included in the fee.

Yes, 100%. Every site we visit is approved to operate under California law, our grow-site partner is registered with the County of Sonoma, and our business carries liability insurance.

No. Guests are welcome to, once they have purchased from our licensed retailer, but you are never required or obligated to consume or purchase anything on the tour.

Comfortable clothing and closed shoes, since we walk on unpaved ground (skip the high heels), a valid 21+ ID, and some cash for gratuities.

No. Gratuities are not included. Our guides and drivers work hard to make your day memorable, and we recommend 15% to 20%.
