About us
Meet John Blust, owner and guide.
Cuvée Wine Tours is a veteran-owned business John launched in 2017 to share the wine country he calls home, with the experience and connections to build a day just for you.
His story
From Wisconsin to West County.
Originally born in Wisconsin, John has called Sonoma County home for more than three decades. For him, the wine industry isn’t just a business; it’s his passion. He grows Syrah grapes and a variety of fruit trees on his West County property, and he enjoys making wine at home.
With a love for wine country, John greatly enjoys showing off the region he lives in. He’ll work with you to plan your day and answer any questions you have about wine, lodging or cuisine.
Asked for a favorite winery
“All of the wines in the region are good or great, so it’s about the people and the property that make a winery an experience you’ll remember forever.”
