Visit Napa and Sonoma wineries on a San Francisco wine tour with tastings, vineyard stories, and an optional hop-on hop-off ticket.

About this tour

Trade San Francisco’s city streets for vineyard views and a taste of California wine country. On this San Francisco wine tour, ride in an air-conditioned motorcoach to wineries in Napa and/or Sonoma Valley, where each stop pairs a flight of 3–5 tastings with stories of local winemaking.

Choose a half-day outing with visits to 2 wineries, or spend the full day visiting 3. Estates may range from organic boutique producers to well-known names, including wineries connected to some of the region’s oldest winemaking families. Along the way, learn about grape growing, natural farming methods, and the traditional and modern techniques behind the wines. The full-day option also gives you free time around Sonoma Square to browse local shops and galleries or find lunch; lunch is not included. The half-day tour does not stop in Sonoma.

You can add a 24-hour hop-on hop-off sightseeing ticket, with multilingual audio commentary, and a digital Chinatown walking tour. Make your choice of tour, bring valid photo ID if you plan to taste, and enjoy a relaxed introduction to wine country beyond San Francisco.

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 4.2.
