Full Day Wine Country Tour Sonoma Valley & Napa Valley, San Francisco

Description

Unwind and soak up the stunning scenery while we drive through beautiful vineyards, the most prized wine region of Northern California. Explore three different wineries, each with their very own charm, from small family-run wineries to large estates. The passionate and welcoming staff are eager to share their enthusiasm and knowledge of wine with you, and during an exclusive estate tour you can learn about the traditional and modern wine-making techniques and processes. 

Enjoy some of the best wine in the world at the various wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valley, with each tasting offering a unique experience that you can only find in Northern California. You will have some time to explore a winery on your own before or after the tasting, and your tour guide will lead you from winery to winery while providing fun and helpful insights on the way. 

Your tour starts at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, heading north for the first highlight of the tour – the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Take in the breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline and Alcatraz Island while riding across the 1.7-mile span of the bridge. The tour continues through the picturesque Marin County, heading further into California’s world-famous wine region of Sonoma and Napa Valley.

We first visit a family-owned winery where the wine makers will proudly describe their traditional wine-making techniques and you can taste the wine from one of the world’s finest wine-producing regions.

At lunch time we make a stop at V. Sattui Marketplace in St. Helena or Historic Downtown Sonoma Square with its charming shops, art galleries and a wonderful variety of dining options. Enjoy your time at leisure and relax on a lawn during a picnic, or sample some cheese and wine at one of the local shops before heading on to the next winery.

We continue the tour to a slightly higher elevation and cooler micro-climate where you will learn to appreciate what a difference a few miles can make in this diverse grape-growing region. Popular White Zinfandels thrive in this wine-tasting area where you can enjoy their sweeter, smoother profile and understand how they burst onto the California Wine Country scene in the ’70s. We then head into the world-famous Napa Valley with a winery that exudes old world charm and you can taste more fine wine while soaking in the breathtaking scenery.

After a full day of indulging into the California wine country, simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic ride across the Golden Gate Bridge once more as the sun slowly starts to set into the Pacific Ocean.
