About this activity
The Napa Valley has been at the forefront of New World wine making ever since it shot to renown during the famed Tasting of Paris in 1976.
Today, the valley host more than 300 wineries across 37 miles of scenic vineyard, rolling green hills and rustic farms. With literally hundreds of styles and varietals available within a short drive of one another, sorting through so many options can feel like a challenge for even the most experienced connoisseur. Luckily, this tour makes the choices for you.
This tour starts from a convenient central meeting point in San Francisco's Union Square. After meeting the driver, you will be ushered aboard a comfortable coach where you will meet your guide and take your seat. As you head out, your guide will fill you in on some of the finer points of San Francisco history and trivia as you head over the bay over either the Bay or Golden Gate Bridge and make your way north to the Napa Valley.
After approximately an hour of driving, you will stop at you first premium winery for a 45 minute tasting of fine wine. Shop for souvenirs and listen closely as you discuss how a beverage with a history tracing back more than 6,000 years is perfected into the many styles you see today. Both fine tastings are included with the price of the tour.
After your first tasting, you will stop for lunch where you can purchase sandwiches, olives, cheese and of course, more fine wine before heading to your second, and equally delicious, winery to finish the tour. Once completed, you will return to the coach for a roughly 1.5-hour drive back to San Francisco where you will be dropped off back at Union Square well before dinner time.

The details of the trip were misrepresented. We were told there would only be up to 15 people on our tour and it was in fact a bus load of 33 individuals. The description also stated we would go to a deli for lunch to purchase cheeses, crackers and other deli items....we were taken to Sonoma for lunch to eat at restaurants that the guide recommended. Two of the wineries we visited were great! Sutter Home was not a placed my group desired to go and it was proven. Although the experience was good, the tour was horrible!!!! The tour guide, Silvio sp? did a terrible job and was so disrespectful to a passenger. She went up to him to ask him to stop talking and he told her lady, just go sit down, later in the afternoon, she approached him again and he said, lady, i don't care if you don't like it, this is my tour. He continued to talk about insignificant topics to include stories about his wife, the fact that he had drank 12 Heineken's at the race track recently because it was dollar day at the track. He shared information irrelavalnt to the group. 2 non english speaking ladies even told him he should have better customer service. I visit San Francisco often but this was the first time for several of my friends. I know I will not use this tour company again due to the unprofessionalism displayed by this particular tour guide. thank you. Norma
totally amazing! it even included a tasting of sparkling wine!
