Napa and Sonoma Valley Wine Country Tour from San Francisco

Settle into your comfortable party bus or party limo, depending on the size of your tour group, and dig into a breakfast spread of croissants, bagels, cream cheese and fresh fruit accompanied by a mimosa (sparkling wine and orange juice). During the drive, you'll be entertained by your informative driver-guide, who points out sites of interest en route to wine country.

At the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, stop at Vista Point for a panoramic view of Alcatraz, Angel Island, the San Francisco city skyline and the bayAt the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Then it’s onward to four Sonoma County and Napa County wineries that represent a cross-section of tastes to please any palate.

Sip Italian varietals from sustainably grown grapes at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, a family-owned winery in the Carneros region of Sonoma. Or take a stroll through the dry-farmed vineyards at Madonna Estate Winery in Napa, and learn about organic wines handcrafted for four generations by the renowned Bartolucci family. Taste some of the 10 varietals, including chardonnay and pinot noir. (Note: tasting fees are not included, giving you the flexibility to decide what you want to try.)

Additional wineries may include Hagafen Cellars in Napa, Roche Winery or Cline Cellars in Sonoma, or a tasting room on Sonoma Plaza. You'll also make a stop at the Olive Press, an award-winning producer of olive oil. Taste traditional varietals as well as oils infused with herbs and fruits.

About halfway through the day, sit down to a winery picnic lunch. You'll also visit CornerStone Sonoma, a relaxing spot that's home to boutiques, wine rooms, food shops and gallery-style gardens designed by landscape architects.

Your 8.5-hour day trip ends with return to select San Francisco drop-off points.
