San Francisco: Napa & Sonoma Wine Tour with Optional Tasting
About This Experience
A full day in Napa and Sonoma wine country from San Francisco, with the flexibility to skip tasting fees if you'd rather pay a la carte at the wineries themselves.
The day opens with a photo stop at the Golden Gate Bridge, then heads north into Sonoma and Napa for a guided winery tasting, a roughly two-hour break to explore Sonoma Plaza on your own, and a second tasting before the drive back to San Francisco.
Two versions of the same itinerary are offered: one bundles tasting fees into the price, the other drops them so you can add tastings winery by winery — useful if you already know which pours you want to pay for.
Highlights
- Compare two wine tour options: one includes tasting fees and one does not
- Choose the option without tasting fees and add tastings at the wineries
- Stop for stunning photos of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge
- Break in the famous Sonoma Square with time on your own for lunch and shopping

It was fantastic! Jake was a great guide and gave us lots of good information about the wineries we were headed to and the process in general. The wine was delicious and we loved hearing from the smaller wineries about their process. I would highly recommend to anyone!!

Constantin is the best tour guide I have ever had. Smart, eloquent, knowledgeable, considerate, humorous. The best asset any tour company can have. He brought the whole experience to additional level and made it memorable. Thank you, Constantin!

Do I need ID?
Yes — bring a valid photo ID. The legal drinking age in California is 21, and wineries will check.
