Reserve Your Spot🏡 Haley grew up in Petaluma, where her family has lived for four generations. She has been working in the wine industry since 2020. She has several more years of experience in other areas of the hospitality industry. Her specialty, beyond being a wine nerd (Level 3 Somm certified), is being a top-notch tour guide!
🍇 She has served as a tour guide at the last two wineries on her resume, among other roles, and has found that she excels in this position. After moving back to Petaluma from Napa, she decided to create a fun experience right here in Petaluma! The Petaluma Tour Company offers insight into the vibrant role Petaluma has played in Sonoma County over the years, as well as the treasures it has to offer today. There are usually some fun treats on the tours, as one of her favorite pastimes is enjoying food and beverages from the guest side.
🌉 Andre grew up in Larkspur, California, and has called Petaluma home on and off for over a decade. He’s worked across industries—from tech sales to HVAC—but his real passion lies in exploring and discovering the character of places through its streets, stories, and people.
🗺️ Having taken walking tours in nearly every city he has visited—from Bangkok to Berlin—Andre developed a deep appreciation for them while living in Portugal, where he completed multiple tours in both Lisbon and Porto. For him, walking tours are the ideal way to get acquainted with the local architecture, cuisine, history, and fellow travelers. After returning to Sonoma County, he co-founded the Petaluma Tour Company to develop the same enriching experience right here at home.

Each stop includes the location, historical significance, and fun anecdotes to bring Petaluma’s past to life. Let’s step back in time and stroll through “Péta Lúuma,” the Miwok-named “sloping ridge” valley that became Petaluma.
