San Francisco: Napa & Sonoma Full-Day Wine Tour and Tastings
About This Experience
A full-day coach tour to three hand-picked Napa and Sonoma wineries, with all tasting fees included in the price.
The route crosses the Golden Gate Bridge, then works through wine country — roughly an hour per winery for a guided tour and tasting, plus a lunch break in Downtown Sonoma Square. Wineries are drawn from a rotating shortlist (Madonna Estate, Ru Vango, Sutter Home, Cline Cellars and Backstage Winery among them), so the exact stops can vary by date.
A hop-on hop-off San Francisco add-on — Chinatown walking tour, panoramic sunset loop — is available as a combo for guests staying on in the city afterward.

Our guide Jimmy was AMAZING! He told us so much information along the drive and was very entertaining. He’s a truly sweet guy and made sure we had a wonderful day! I would 100% recommend using this tour and if Jimmy is your guide, you will definitely have an awesome day and not want it to end.

We had an amazing time on the Sonoma & Napa excursion, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide, Grady. From start to finish, Grady was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the region. He shared fascinating history, fun facts, and great recommendations that made every stop more meaningful. The tour was perfectly paced, well-organized, and stress-free, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and world-class wine. Grady’s friendly personality, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire experience exceptional.

My friend and I had an absolutely amazing time touring Napa and Sonoma Valley with our guide Steve. It is a great value for everything you do get to try and the travel between the city to the valley. We visited Madonna Estate, Sutter Homes and Napa Cellars. The only downside (for me, it may not be to some) is that the last two wineries were owned by the same company, I would have preferred to go to a different winery not affiliated with the previous two.
