Full description

Discover some of San Francisco's best wines on this half-day outing. Visit 2 wineries and 3 to 5 tastings. Enjoy scenic views from your comfortable coach.

Start your day in the afternoon, as you head north to the Golden Gate Bridge. Enjoy a scenic drive over the Golden Gate Bridge and marvel at the San Francisco skyline in the distance.

Next, drive through the beautiful town of Sausalito, a seaside Mediterranean-like village harbored across the San Francisco Bay and famous for its sweeping views. As the vine-covered hillsides come into view, you will visit 2 favorite wineries of the region for wine tastings and an exclusive estate tour.

Experience the inner workings of the wineries and their family history in Napa and Sonoma Valley as an expert wine host walks you through the fermentation process, barrel-aging, bottling, and, of course, tastings of some award-winning varietals. At each winery, enjoy up to 3-5 tastings of their signature blends. Your day concludes with a scenic drive back over the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco as the sun slowly starts to set into the Pacific Ocean.

Grady was amazing! He was so knowledgable, giving us a great tour while we drove through San Francisco and Sausalito, and then talked us through lots of great vineyard facts while we drove through the Napa Valley. We visited 2 vineyards - Madonna estate and Muscardini (the former was more informative and we tasted 5 wines, the second was a more relaxed tasting sat in the beautiful gardens tasting 4 wines). All in all the trip was from 12.15pm to 6.30pm. We loved it and would highly recommend for anyone wanting an informative guide and a great vineyard/wine tasting experience. Thanks Grady!

Sehr gut organisierte Tour, wir haben uns super informiert und wohl gefühlt die ganze Zeit über. Bei dieser halbtägigen Tour haben wir zwei Weingüter mit schönem Landschaftsblick in Napa besucht. Sehr gefreut haben wir uns auch über die kurzen Fotostopps an der Golden Gate Bridge. Tipp: einen Snack und Wasser mitbringen, da bei der Halbtagestour kein Essen dabei ist, worauf ja aber hingewiesen wird.

The tour was really good for visiting 2 vineyards. The first vineyard was amazing and the tasting was alot. The second was breathtaking. Our tour guide Marco was really good. We stopped at cornerstone before heading into Napa for a quick snack and bathroom break. We also stopped at the end of the Golden gate Bridge for photo opportunities. Glad i did the half day instead of full.
