Half-Day Wine Country Tour
Half-Day Wine Country Tour
The Half-Day Wine Tour (duration 6 hours) begins just after midday. After journeying north across the Golden Gate Bridge and through Sausalito, you'll reach wine country, where you'll visit two different wineries. At each, you'll enjoy 3-5 tastings of their signature blends. All wine tasting fees are included in the tour price. This tour also includes an exclusive estate tour - you'll discover the inner workings of the wineries and their family history in Napa & 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! The day concludes with a scenic drive back over the Golden Gate Bridge and back to Stop #1 in San Francisco as the sun slowly starts to set into the Pacific Ocean.
