What To Expect

Let your guide handle the driving and relax as you sip your way through California’s wine country. After leaving the city of San Francisco in the morning, settle into a luxury coach equipped with onboard amenities including reclining seats. Hear tales of Spanish missionaries and Gold Rush fortune seekers from your guide as you cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge and through the rolling green hills and pastures of Sonoma Valley.

Your first stop is Roche Winery. Sip different varietals in the tasting plaza and enjoy a walking tour of the Roche family’s Tipperary vineyards. Your host will lead you through the winery, including a sampling of their latest vintage right from their barrels.

Continue to the world-famous Napa Valley for a tour and tasting at Madonna Estate, a family-run winery that produces organic wines in the acclaimed Carneros winemaking region.

Indulge your appetite with a stop for lunch (own expense) at Sonoma Square Plaza, one of the largest plazas in California, and pick from multiple charming restaurants.

Under the sun in the Valley of the Moon, BR Cohn Winery has been making small lot, vineyard-designated wines since 1984. Nestled between Sonoma Mountain and the Mayacamas Mountain range in scenic Glen Ellen, the winery offers an inviting, relaxed environment for discovering new wine.

Back on the coach, savor the late afternoon sun and your wine-induced glow on the return drive to San Francisco. Enjoy a quick photo stop at the Golden Gate Bridge before getting dropped off at Fisherman’s Wharf or Union Square in San Francisco.

I really enjoyed the tour. We stopped at three wineries, Roche, Madonna Estates both in Sonoma and B.R.Cohn in Napa. Each took us through the wine making process and we tasted several amazing wines while taking in the sights of the beautiful rolling hills. I wish I could recall our tour guides name he was phenomenal he shared alot of information in reference to various points of call along our drive which in itself was a plus. Our trip concluded around 6p after touring the winery and lunch in Napa. I for one had a great time and would recommend to anyone.

Greg is a great guide with a profuse knowledge of the area. We really enjoyed the trip. The wineries were all slightly different and we did have our favorite.
Fun wine tour
Michael_B, Jun 2023
Greg, our driver and guide was amazing. Very funny and informative. We learned a lot about San Francisco and wine. Really enjoyed lunch in Sonoma town square.
Just your average tour
marlene_f, May 2023
The winery selections were great. However, there was a lack of communication with the driver, the hosts, and us guests. It was a constant surprise as to what we were doing next. During the bus ride, the host didn’t communicate with us as to where we were going next and there was miscommunication happening with the driver and host as to where the next stops were at.
Fantastic Day in Sonoma and Napa!
Scott_B, May 2023
We had the most fantastic Tour Guide in Danillo. He was extremely talented as a driver and a guide! Very entertaining and engaging with the tourists on the trip. He made it a great experience for us both. The vineyards were great and we really enjoyed the wine on offer at all 3. Thank you for a memorable day!

Bianca_B, May 2023
This was a guided tour in which a tour guide made it simple for everyone to understand. We drove to various locations and made a few stops along the way. We stopped at three wineries in which they were all very generous with their tasting. I highly recommend this tour before any of the tour if you were visiting San Francisco.

Madison_G, May 2023
Such a lovely tour! Danilo and Gary were the best guide and driver! We stopped at 3 wineries - Ru Vango, Madonna Estate, and Sutter Home. We loved Ru Vango and Madonna Estate. Would have preferred to visit another of the smaller wineries in the area, but the gardens at Sutter Home were beautiful. Perfect tour for couples or friend groups. Would highly recommend.
