We had a great day, on our way to Napa we stop to take pictures of the Golden Gate, from a really nice spot

The scenery was beautiful and the tour guides at the wineries were very accommodating and attentive. The bus ride over was mostly comfortable and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. The vantage point stop to get pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge was a great addition.
