About Us

About Us

The south Santa Clara County wine country is a hidden gem in the south SF Bay that should be easy and fun for more people to experience! Our mission is to give our guests an experience they won't forget with a ride on an iconic San Francisco cable car and an afternoon of wine tasting, fresh air, and stunning views.

Mission

Friends for over thirty years, co-founders Christina Perez and Heather Gallegos are Morgan Hill residents who love the beauty, charm, and heritage of the south Santa Clara County wine country. They created the Morgan Hill Wine Trolley to help more Bay Area residents and visitors experience it for themselves. Christina and Heather bonded while raising their children, traveling, hosting friends who are family, and enjoying WINE. After trying to plan wine-tasting tours in the area for special events with traditional transportation services, they recognized a missing piece of the growing wine country in their backyards: a wine-tasting trolley! The opportunity – combined with a mutual passion for entrepreneurship – was the genesis of El Toro Tours, the parent company for the Morgan Hill Wine Trolley brand and future local tourism services.

Karaoke Trolley Nights (21+)

Sales Pitch

This 90-minute Karaoke Trolley Night experience turns our iconic trolley into a rolling sing-along party, complete with a full karaoke setup, four wireless microphones, colorful party lighting, and a playlist full of songs everyone knows (even if you pretend you don’t). Whether you’re the one grabbing the mic or the one singing from your seat, the energy builds fast once the first song starts.

We’ll cruise the scenic backroads of South County while the trolley fills with music, laughter, and the kind of moments that only happen when a group of people decides to stop being serious for a while. It’s the perfect night out with friends, a fun way to celebrate something special, or just an excuse to do something different than the usual dinner and drinks.

Guests are welcome to bring beer or wine in spill-proof containers if they’d like (no glass, coolers, or hard alcohol). Small snacks are fine, but this isn’t a dinner tour — the main event is the music, the ride, and whatever song someone suddenly decides they absolutely need to perform.

Tour Details

• Duration: 90 minutes

• Age requirement: 21+

• Beer & wine permitted (no glass, no hard alcohol)

• Light snacks allowed

• Karaoke system with lyrics screen and wireless microphones

• Scenic ride through Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy area

• Short bio break halfway into the tour

• Driver & host gratuity not included

🎉 Private karaoke parties are also available for birthdays (adult or kiddo), bachelorette parties, and group celebrations.

⚠️ Once the first song starts, the whole trolley usually ends up singing. 🎤

What do people say about Morgan Hill Wine Trolley?

My girlfriends and I had an absolute blast on our private 1.5-hour trolley tour on July 10th! The trolley picked us up from a winery and dropped us off right at our residence, making transport between wineries completely seamless and stress-free. A massive shoutout to the team for making this happen, and a special thank you to our driver, who was fantastic! The company went above and beyond for us in every way. Next time, we’ll definitely be booking for a longer time slot! Can't wait to do it again.

My wife and I recently took the Morgan Hill Wine Trolley, and it exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we stepped aboard until the end of the day, everything was exceptionally well organized, relaxing, and simply fun. A huge shout-out to Cynthia and Linda—they were absolutely phenomenal hosts. Their warm hospitality, genuine enthusiasm, and attention to every guest made us feel welcome from start to finish. They created an atmosphere that was friendly, engaging, and full of laughter, making the entire experience feel like spending the day with good friends. Our stops at EllaLilly Cellars, DeRose Winery, and MOHI Wine were all fantastic, each offering its own unique charm and excellent wines. We loved being able to enjoy the tastings without worrying about driving, allowing us to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery and the incredible wines that Morgan Hill has to offer. What impressed us most was how seamlessly everything flowed. The trolley was comfortable, the schedule was perfect, and every detail reflected the passion and care that went into creating this experience. If you’re looking for an amazing date, celebrating a special occasion, entertaining out-of-town guests, or simply wanting to discover the outstanding wineries in Morgan Hill, I cannot recommend the Morgan Hill Wine Trolley highly enough. This was one of the most enjoyable wine experiences we’ve ever had, and we’ll definitely be back for another tour. Thank you, Cynthia and Linda, for making our day so memorable.

We both had an exceptionally enjoyable time meeting the farmers at each stop and exploring the scenic backroads of Morgan Hill, San Martin, and Gilroy. As a former IBM Customer Satisfaction Manager, I was blown away by the warmth, knowledge, and professionalism of both our tour docent and driver. The whole experience exceeded our expectations!

The Trolley was so much fun! So glad it is a female owned and operated business. The music on the Trolley alone was enough to get us up and dancing, even without any wine. I will say I felt like we needed more time at each winery, it felt a little rushed. I also didn't understand why we drove 5 miles south to the 2nd winery just to come back 5 miles north to the last winery. The 1st and last wineries were near each other. Maybe it had to do with timing. The food was excellent. Champagne at the start, light snacks on board, water, and a great buffet lunch. The charcuterie was excellent too! I would do it again.

The Morgan Hill wine trolly experience was my first time. I went with friends and we had a blast. From the beginning of check in at a local downtown restaurant, where you start with a champagne welcome toast, a light array of appetizers before you aboard the trolley. You will drive around downtown Morgan Hill and off to the first winery. There are three wineries you go to. The music starts playing and the fun starts immediately. You also are provided lunch at the second winery with a big turkey club sandwich and a side or a salad as well. The wineries are very good and beautiful. I highly recommend this to everyone. The ladies who run the trolley are so much fun and provide all the entertainment and info for your trip.

I love the wine trolley! It’s always such a fun vibe. Morgan Hill is a hidden gem in the South Bay. I’m fortunate to live here and take the trolley tour for wine tastings, holiday lights and special tours. I’ve even rented it for a corporate event that all of our out of town guests enjoyed.

This is my second time making reservations for the wine trolley. It is a great experience to get away and meet people, live life, and drink without the hassle of finding a driver. The ambience and environment are friendly. You can bring your own snacks along with the lunch that is provided. It is good getaway even if you are local and or visiting. The meeting area at the luxe is nice and low key, and pre drink and meet others.

This wine trolley is great for groups but also for a solo gal like me! I travel for work and I’m always looking for things to do to get to know the area. I didn’t know what to expect being alone. Donna made sure to let everyone know I was riding alone and that welcomed the other girls to come up and talk to me. I ended the day, dancing with everybody on the trolley. The wineries were spectacular as well! I recommend this experience to anyone who loves to have a good time and loves some great wine!

The Guides were so accommodating and sweet. The road to each winery was a blast and the wineries were all equally beautiful. Leal was perfect for a Bridal party. Gugliemo was so pretty and the grounds at Kirgin were so peaceful and somehow cam out with a case of delicious wine! Thank You for this Amazing Experience🫶🏼

We had an amazingly fun time at the Wine Tasting Trolley celebrating my husband and cousins birthdays. We got to taste a variety of delicious wines and had a reserved seating area at each winery. Our bus driver and our guide were both so sweet and so much fun! I believe their names were Lisa and Donna (if this is wrong, I’m sorry, I had a couple glasses of wine lol). We made friends with the group we rode with- we sang, danced and laughed so much. I would definitely recommend. 10/10.

So much fun! We met our group at Luxe Flower bar on Monterey road. We sipped sparkling wine and had wee nibbles before we were loaded into the trolley. Once on board our hostess/mc reviewed the dos and don't of wine trolleying and we were off, with high hopes, enthusiasm and music blasting. Our first stop was MOHI vineyard, formerly known as sycamore creek. We enjoyed a tour of the farm to table gardens and some delicious wines. We were all partial to the Pinot noir. We were herded back onto trolley with an increased volume in both mood and music. Our next stop was Derose vineyard. We had lunch here and tasted 3 wines. The Chardonnay was the best of the sampling. It's not the prettiest looking winery, but they do have a very cool car collection. We then hopped back on the trolley and were whisked off to Miramar vineyard in San Martin on new road. Lovely land and outdoor space. The owner was very accommodating and generous with his pours and knowledge. While we weren't wild about the wines here, we did love the friendly atmosphere. At this point we all got back on the trolley...but our seats were shuffled around bc a group wanted the back end to dance!! The music was jacked up, the mic was passed around, people sang, danced, laughed and carried on. It was loud, raucous and too much fun. So, if you are looking for a party on wheels with a carnival feel, the wine trolley is IT! If you can't do loud, tolerate shouting, singing or dancing then this is definitely not for you. We all loved it and vowed to do another in the future if different vineyards were available.

Each season has its unique charm, so there's no single 'best' time; it depends on your preference for weather and vineyard activity.

What should I bring on a Morgan Hill Wine Trolley wine tasting tour?

For a Morgan Hill Wine Trolley wine tasting tour, we recommend bringing a few essentials. A valid ID is crucial for wine tasting. Comfortable shoes are advisable, as there might be some walking at the wineries. A light jacket or layers are often good, as temperatures can vary. Don't forget your camera for photos!

Can I combine multiple Morgan Hill Wine Trolley tours on the same day?

Combining multiple Morgan Hill Wine Trolley tours on the same day is generally not feasible due to the varying durations and itineraries of our experiences. Each tour is designed to provide a comprehensive and relaxed experience, often lasting several hours. Attempting to fit in two tours might lead to rushing and an incomplete enjoyment of either.

How far in advance should I book a Morgan Hill Wine Trolley tour?

For popular weekend tours, especially during peak season (spring and fall), we highly recommend booking your Morgan Hill Wine Trolley tickets at least 2-4 weeks in advance. Private tours and special events like the 'EXCLUSIVE for 20: El Toro Trolley Wine Tasting Tour' should be booked even further out, typically 1-3 months in advance, to secure your preferred date. Weekday tours might have more last-minute availability, but proactive booking is always the best way to ensure you get your desired spot.

Morgan Hill Wine Trolley occasionally offers special promotions or discounts. These may include seasonal offers, early bird specials, or group booking incentives for larger parties.

Can Morgan Hill Wine Trolley accommodate guests with dietary restrictions on tours that include food?

For Morgan Hill Wine Trolley tours that include food (e.g., if a private tour opts for a catered lunch, or if snacks are offered), we strive to accommodate dietary restrictions. It is crucial that you inform us of any allergies or dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc.) at the time of booking, or at least 72 hours in advance. While we will do our best to work with our partners to provide suitable options, specific dietary accommodations cannot always be guaranteed without prior notice. Communication is key.
