Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Tour

San Francisco, United States of America

Wine taste your way through Napa and Sonoma on this day trip from San Francisco. Enjoy a comfortable, picturesque drive by luxury coach to wine country to visit several wineries for guided tours and tastings. Walk through beautiful vineyards, explore the winemaking facilities, and learn about the history of winemaking from your guide as you sip fine wine. Stop in Yountville to enjoy lunch and browse specialty shops at your leisure and expense. This comprehensive wine tour is the most relaxing way to experience California wine country, and all tastings are included!

On your Sonoma and Napa wine tour, you'll visit a mix of three boutique and large-scale wineries for tastings and guided tours of the winery grounds. At each place, walk through beautiful vineyards; see how the grapes are picked, crushed, blended and bottled; and then sample the finished product in the tasting room. All tasting fees are included!

Hop aboard a luxury coach at your San Francisco hotel in the morning and relax on a scenic drive over the Golden Gate Bridge. Savor the last views of San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz before making your way north to wine country. Your coach comes with tons of amenities including a restroom, reclining seats and Wi-Fi, ensuring the most comfortable ride possible. Throughout your tour, your expert guide will teach you about the region’s winemaking history, from the early Spanish missionaries who brought grapevines from Europe to the Forty-Niners who served wines in their saloons.

When you reach Sonoma Valley, your first stop is Nicholson Ranch Winery, whose vineyards are planted in one of the world's most prized grape-growing regions. This family-owned artisan winery produces premium grapes for chardonnay, pinot noir, merlot and Syrah, which you'll taste during your visit.

Continue driving to Napa Valley to visit Madonna Estate, located in the world-renowned Carneros region. During your tour and tasting, learn about why this family-owned winery uses organic farming methods and combines traditional and modern winemaking techniques.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, make your way to the charming yet sophisticated town of Yountville for lunch. This gem in the middle of Napa Valley is filled with a myriad of Michelin-star restaurants, including Thomas Keller's world-famous The French Laundry.

You’ll have plenty of free time to explore Yountville at your own leisure and expense. Grab a pastry or baguette from Bouchon Bakery, have a sandwich and glass of wine at a sun-bathed picnic table, and satisfy your sweet tooth with a chocolate tasting at Kollar Chocolates. Don't miss V Marketplace, once known at Vintage 1870 -- a historic, 140 year-old Groezinger Winery complex home to countless specialty boutiques, galleries, restaurants and a wine-tasting cellar.

Hop back on the coach and continue to Sutter Home in Napa, your last stop of the day. Established in the late 1800s, this famous winery has become a household name for its white zinfandels. Learn how it has become the second-largest independent, family-run winery in the US!
After your last tasting, settle into your seat on the coach and unwind as you enjoy a scenic drive through wine country back to San Francisco.

Please note: Winery locations and itinerary may change due to traffic or a previously booked special event at the location.

The tour itself is great. Good selection of wineries and lunch spot. I was lucky to go on a beautiful day. The tour ran almost an hour late. I had to jump off the bus with a couple at a random intersection so I could run and catch my bus to Portland. It would have been better if it dropped us back off on time.

Our Driver Tom McDonagh was tremendous, he was a masterful historian who really went out of his way to point everything out , he gave a very in-depth tutorial history of San Francisco and wine country. He went out of his way to learn the identity of all the passengers on board. I have been on a lot of tours in my life, and have met a lot of tour guides but this gut was an exception and a credit to the San Francisco tourist industry.

This was an excellent tour of Sonoma and Napa. Our driver was a fountain of information about San Francisco and wine in general and all three vineyards were charming. Plenty of wine tasting was featured and the mid-day stop for lunch was noteworthy as well. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our visit and the different wineries. Some wineries gave more in sample size and our driver Chabli was awesome! He even surprised us by taking us to get great pictures of the Golden Gate bridge.

If you want a trouble free trip into the Napa and Sonoma areas, experience some wine tasting, and visit some outstanding wineries then this may be the tour for you. The tour bus driver was full of information and kept us entertained the entire trip. He provided wonderful tips on the types of wines, places to eat while in Senoma, and just interesting facts about the area. By the time you buy gas, pay for three wine tastings, hassle the traffic you can instead ride in the comfort of a beautiful tour bus and enjoy the day for a much less price than doing it yourself. I highly recommend this tour.

This tour got the job done seeing wine country however I had no idea it was a MASSIVE tour...over 100 people on our coach bus. The advertisements make it seem that it will be a small bus, I felt a little misled.The tour guide was great and had some good information, we learned a lot. The only thing I would change would for it to be smaller as the tastings were crowded and impersonal.

Amazing tour!! The three wineries were beautiful and the wines were so good! The bus ride was comfortable and was made enjoyable by Antonio, who was super fun and knew so much of the history of San Francisco! Definitely recommend it for those who want to see wine country on a tight schedule! Worth the money and wine lovers will love the varieties of wine that you get to taste!!

Was amazing time, we went into Napa and Sonoma wineries with some wine tasting. Bus stopped by Lunch and went back to San Francisco around 5 pm. Highly recommended.

I will preface this by writing that the first two wineries were superb, in ambiance, location and the staff. Both were in Sonoma Valley and had a great atmosphere with fun people and fantastic wines to sample. The last winery was in Napa Valley and although it was not my favorite specifically due to the guide trying to push the club membership, I can understand trying to make a profit.

Great tour! My parents aren't wine drinkers but they enjoyed this activity and the beautiful wineries. Our favorite is the Nicholson Ranch for its picturesque landscapes and exquisite wines. The place is perfect for an opening salvo!

Signed up for this tour specifically because it said it included hotel pick up. My hotel was listed on the list of valid hotels. I emailed the company confirming my pick up and they told me I had to walk to a location and then proceeding to ignore all of my follow up emails. This tour description is not valid. Viator, please update the tour information. I read through comments and I am not the only one with this issue.

I booked hotel pick up as well, but I came to know that it will not be done. Poor choice of vineries. However, Nappa and Sonoma worth to be seen

Pretty good tour with some nice wines. The Andretti winery had some high expectations, but fell a bit short. The others were outstanding on this tour. Guide even stopped at the GG bridge road to get us some great fog pictures.

Great tour! This tour definitely exceeded my expectations, I loved it. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The wineries that we visited were amazing, and of course, the wine tastings were phenomenal. I learned so much about the wine process. The little town of Yountville was a great lunch stop. This would be a tour I would definitely do again. Highly recommended. Thank you Viator.

We visited three different wineries on our excursion from San Francisco. The first two Nicholson and Madonna were small Family-owned wineries that produced only about 5,000 cases per year and their wines were only available from the winery itself. We learned a great deal from both about how they produce their wines, how the climate and terrain impact their wine production and we're able to sample three or four wines at each. The third winery Sutter Farms was the least enjoyable and is a very large winery whose wines are commercially available. We did not learn as much about the wine production and suggested to our guide that they should consider replacing this winery on the tour with another smaller operation. It was a fairly long day with a lot of time on the bus but the scenery was beautiful. Would highly recommend this tour in the fall when the vines are fully developed and very colourful. The tour was a good opportunity to see parts of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and to taste some excellent wines, especially at the two smaller wineries.

Lovely scenery, informative, and nice wines. Learn a bit about Napa and Sonoma, wine making, and wine tasting. Antonio was excellent - an informative, pleasant guide.

I enjoyed this tour greatly! I went with 2 of my friends, and we had a great time at each tasting, and for our time in Yountville. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and gave pointers for many landmarks we passed by. We bought a bottle Chardonnay from the first vineyard and it is very worthwhile.

A beautiful gem of a town with incredible views of the cliffs and harbor...aviator you outdid yourself...kudos to you

Booked tour last minute, I think it is ok for someone who has never been to Napa and have basic wine interest/knowledge. Not for hard core wine enthusiasts. Went to 3 wineries and it was a good first time experience. The reason I chose this tour is because it had a stop in Yountville, a must see quaint little town. Enjoyed our free time over there but wish we could have stay longer though, between choosing where to eat and waiting for food we didn't have much time left to roam around. Would have skipped last winery Madonna's which as a quite hard sell.

We had a wonderful day. The bus was very comfortable and our driver, Rich, had a great sense of humor and was very informative along the way. It was a very relaxing tour. We had plenty of time at each winery for the tasting, exploring and taking pictures. The only down side was lunch in Yountville. We found the restaurants and shopping very expensive. It was a fun trip and would definitely recommend.

What a great experience, the driver gave us so much information. We enjoyed a stop at Yountville, what a charming town. We had lunch at Bottega, a wonderful Italian restaurant. Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The three stops at the winery's was a wonderful taste of Napa and Sonoma. It was sad to see the damage from the recent fires.
