About Us
Comadres & Cofounders
Friends for over thirty years, cofounders Christina Perez and Heather Gallegos are Morgan Hill residents with a deep love for South Santa Clara County wine country. They created the Morgan Hill Wine Trolley to help Bay Area residents and visitors experience it for themselves.
The idea grew naturally out of their friendship: raising kids, traveling, hosting, and yes, enjoying wine together. When they tried to plan wine-tasting tours for special events and found no good local option, they saw the gap. A wine-tasting trolley was exactly what South County was missing. That insight, combined with a shared passion for entrepreneurship, became the genesis of El Toro Tours, parent company of the Morgan Hill Wine Trolley and future local tourism services.
Celebrating Local Charm and Hidden Gems
What started as a love for South County wine country has grown into a collection of experiences that highlight the region's hospitality, beauty, and hidden gems. Rolling hills, scenic vineyards, and small-town warmth offer a refreshing escape from the pace of Silicon Valley.
We work closely with local wineries, farms, restaurants, and venues, many of them family-owned, to create authentic experiences you won't find anywhere else in the South SF Bay Area.
