What To Expect

Let your guide handle the driving and relax as you sip your way through Northern 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.

Next, enjoy a tasting at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, which specializes in Italian-style wines.

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.

Afterwards, head to a leading Napa Valley winery, Madonna Estate, to taste a range of premium wines.

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.

Sonoma and Napa valleys were beautiful. All of the wineries were wonderful. The hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned a lot about wine making and tasting and how unique each winery is. The landscape was breathtaking and it was a very fun and relaxing day!

The Napa-Sonoma wine tour was nothing short of remarkable. It was a journey of discovery, indulgence, and unparalleled beauty—a testament to the timeless allure of wine and the splendor of California's wine country. A breathtaking panorama of rolling vineyards and cellars.I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable wine tasting experience.

Our tour guide/driver, Greg was awesome! He really made the winery tour a 5-star experience with his wealth of knowledge about San Francisco and the surrendering areas. The Jacuzzi and Ru Vango vineyards had really nice tours of their wineries; not very impressed with Robledo’s tour, although the wine was tasty. Would highly recommend this day trip.

Relaxing day tour
LEAN_S, Apr 2024
Relaxing tour. However, all 3 vineyards were different from the initial booking, and the first one was not good.
Great way to explore wine country!

Danielle_K, Apr 2024
I enjoyed almost all of the wines and it was nice to see the vineyards and get out of the city for a bit. Weather was great and there was a good mix of information and time to chill and enjoy.
Great Tour of Sonoma & Napa Valley
Peter_R, Apr 2024
The enjoyable bus ride with a fantastic driver who provided very interesting descriptions of the Sonoma and Napa areas. And the 3 vineyards visited were excellent!
Well worth it!
Helen_K, Apr 2024
A great trip and knowledgeable driver, lovely vineyards and good variety of wine tasting tired off by a good lunch in Sanoma plaza.
Great Tour of Sonoma & Napa
Chico99fb, Apr 2024
Fun, informative tour with a good variety of wines to sample. The first two estates were nice and relaxing and the last was a little more in depth of the winemaking process. Sonoma Plaza was also a nice stopover for lunch.
A quantity over quality tour of sub-par wineries
Daniel_M, Apr 2024
While there was nothing terrible about this tour, there was nothing good about it either. It may be what you're looking for, but it wasn't for us. They took my girlfriend and I to three small and very mediocre wineries (one was literally a roadside stop). At the wineries themselves, they gave us wine and that was it. Only the final stop provided any information about the wine and winemaking process beyond tasting notes. The wine mostly ranged from "crap" to "decent." Only the last place, Madonna, had something worth buying. Meanwhile, the enjoyment of driving through beautiful Sonoma was seriously dampened by being on a massive bus with a large group. Overall, we loved Sonoma but felt we hardly got to experience it. My recommendation: Find a much smaller tour that takes you to much better wineries.
Sonoma , Napa full day wine tour

Our tour bus guide / driver Greg was very knowledgeable and provided a safe drive throughout the day. Greg was very pleasant and friendly and exceeded our expectations. A wonderful experience to include a lovely stop at Sonoma Town center.
