About this tour

Trade San Francisco’s city streets for Napa Valley’s vineyard-lined back roads on a full-day wine country escape. Take the San Francisco Bay Ferry to Vallejo, where your small shuttle and guide will be waiting around 9:25 a.m. The ferry ride is separate from the tour.

From the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, travel to three charming Napa Valley wineries, with stops changing daily. Along the way, your guide shares stories about local history, culture, and winemaking. At a picturesque winery, settle in for a picnic lunch, with bottled water provided. The small group typically includes 8–12 guests, making for a relaxed day on the road. After the visits, return to the Vallejo terminal in time to catch an evening ferry back to San Francisco.

This Napa Valley wine tasting tour includes transportation, lunch, and three winery visits; tasting fees and ferry fare are extra. Guests must be 21 or older, and anyone under 21 cannot join. Plan your ferry connection, then enjoy a day of wine country scenery and welcoming winery stops.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
