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.

We actually had to be switched to the full day wine tour because there wasn’t enough people in the half day so they cancelled it. But the tour was great. We got to experience 3 different wineries and had lunch in Sonoma. Staff was friendly. The drive was scenic.

This half day wine tour is a fabulous experience. It was more than a wine tour. We were picked up from Union station and stoped two other places , fisherman warf and Sausalito to pick up more passengers. The Driver Grady provided great history on both areas and made it a great bus tour. By the end of the tour he was Uncle Grady . My friend and I had fun.

Had a great time checking out Madonna Estates and Muscardini. Felt a little rushed since kept being behind schedule. Otherwise, good time and met some lovely people on the tour with us. I also would have loved to learn more about the wines instead of just tasting
