I've done a few....Hillebrand and Peller.
After one or two, its been there, done that. same story over and over.
I'd rather just visit the smaller craft wineries.
Theres a really good chance you can meet the owner(s).

Talk to them - they are so passionate about their wines, its really interesting to hear their stories from them,
instead of hearing it from some pimply faced high-school student.

Check out this website:

Just drive along the wine route and stop at some wineries as you wish. There are a few that organize wine tasting seminars (free) and winery tour (free) of the facility, which usually run every hour or every half hour on weekends (less frequent on weekdays). If you want to taste more wine, they also have wine tasting bar for a few bucks.

I think the one I went to is Hillebrand and Peller.
