What To Expect

After hotel pickup in San Francisco, drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, meaning you’ll reach Muir Woods before many other tours arrive. Muir Woods National Monument is home to a pristine forest of California coastal redwoods, which are some of the planet’s tallest and oldest trees with heights that can reach 250 feet (76 meters). You have some time here to wander through the grove of giant sequoias and cross over mossy streams. Then return to the tour vehicle for the drive further north into wine country.

When you reach your first winery in Sonoma County’s Carneros region, you can explore the grounds, enjoy photo ops of the vineyard and sample a variety of wines in a welcoming atmosphere. For lunch, guests can choose one of two lunch options. The first is to venture out on their own and the second option is to upgrade their wine country experience to the next level with a private seated gourmet food and wine pairing experience at a local restaurant. Enjoy delicious local food paired with a collection of California wines.

Afterward, continue your tour to your second and third wineries in Sonoma County or Napa County for more tastings. Enjoy a leisurely stop at each winery, and you’ll have the chance to taste 3 to 5 wines of different varietals, from white to red to sparkling. Tasting fees are included, and you may purchase bottles not available in retail stores to take home.
 
Your day trip ends with the drive back across the Golden Gate Bridge. Admire views of the vast Pacific and the rugged coastline before hotel drop-off.

Marvelous!
Sydni_S, Apr 2024
We booked this tour for part of our honeymoon and we both can’t stop talking about it. The views were marvelous and the wines were delicious! Our tour guide Kimmy had us laughing all day and we walked away with so much knowledge about San Fran history. We had the best time!
Fantastic!
Daniel_V, Apr 2024
We had a fantastic day! Kimmy was an incredible tour guide and kept us on time and entertained all day!
Muir Woods/Sonoma/Napa
Sheena_B, Apr 2024
The trip was fantastic!!! This was probably one of the best bus tours I’ve ever been on! This was my Mom’s first trip to San Francisco, and she had so much fun today! Thank you! Kimmy was our driver, and I can’t say enough about her! She was fantastic, funny, knowledgeable and just so much fun! She made the trip worth every penny! Thank you!
Great Trip!
Brittany_S, Apr 2024
All around, this was a great trip. I highly recommend! Our tour driver, Ben was fun and knowledgeable. The wineries we went to was small/family owned, and friendly. Muir woods was absolutely beautiful. My only critique is I wish we had a little more time in the redwoods.
Great experience!
Aparna_C, Apr 2024
We had a great experience! Our tour guide Ben was awesome! Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting SF.
Great tour, wear comfy shoes and enjoy
Marcus_B, Apr 2024
Don, was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and conversational and appeared to love what he does. It was a very full day but certainly an enjoyable tour. Great wine orchard selection and lunch stop in Napa. Please consider the Cheese Factory when visiting, their sandwiches are excellent! All in all a great tour despite the rainy/cold weather conditions. Muir Woods was amazing!
Excellent!
Jillian_C, Apr 2024
Excellent day from start to finish! Absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend. It was my second time on the tour and I hope to go again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for your recommendation! Andy enjoyed having your group on his tour. Take care.
Muir tour and Napa Valley
Christina_G, Apr 2024
Very informative tour. Dusty was I grate guide. He gave us the time we needed to explore the Muir wood. It vas a tasty lunch that we hade made included. The wine tasting at different wine yards was interesting. Thanks for a nice tour. Christina and family
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks, Christina for your nice review. Dusty appreciates the feedback and hopes you will tour with him again soon.
Hardly any wine drinking
Richard_C, Apr 2024
Decent way to spend a day as you get to stop and take photos at the bridge, spend an hour at Muir Woods, and then go to 3 wineries. Dustin was our guide and he was great. I do think too much time throughout the day was spent on the road getting to their next affiliated winery. By 2pm we had only had 3 sips of wine. There isn’t much time left to actually enjoy a glass either as each winery will take you through their history etc so by the time you’re tried 3-4 wines you have to get back on the bus. Would have been better if the wineries were closer proximity to each other to allow more time. Other things to note: road to Muir Woods is very windy so if you get motion sickness be prepared. Fee doesn’t include entry into the woods either. I would suggest hiring a car instead.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for your feedback about your Muir Woods and wine tour. We take your comments to heart. However, you may have confused readers a bit. The tour includes three wineries, visits to both Napa and Sonoma Valleys and a total of at least nine wine tastings. For most of our guests, that is plenty. Please call us if we can help in any way to put things right. (415) 357-0700.
Fantastic tour!
Grace_M, Apr 2024
Kimmie was an amazing host, making the whole trip really fun and informative. Her organisation was spot on and we had ample time at each winery. We sampled lots of different wines and the winery’s we visited were all really different too which was great. The small group atmosphere was also really beneficial, we had a great day!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for your kind words about Kimmy and the team here at Extranomical Tours. Great to hear that you had a good time.

Scott_L, Apr 2024
Enjoyed the trip and the guide and the guide was excellent. The stress of driving and missing so much was eliminated with this trip.

We appreciate your kind review. Travel safely home and come again.
Good value, but more of a rushed tour than a relaxing day wine tasting
Kevin_M, Mar 2024
The good parts: - You get to see so many things in one day - The price is great for what you get The not so good parts: - This is more of a tour than a wine tasting bus. I was expecting more of a relaxed vibe, but it felt a little rushed with the addition of the tour guide narrating for about 75% of the driving. It felt at times the tour guide was trying to just fill up time with talking. - The wine venues you visit are very small, so don't assume you are going to visiting any of the bigger/more expensive vineyards. Note: For anyone that gets nauseous easily, make sure to account for the fact that you will be on a bus on windy bumpy roads. I felt very nauseous for part of it and another person actually threw up.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for joining our Muir Woods and Wine tour and for sending us this review. For many, bigger is not necessarily better when it comes to wineries and they enjoy family-run and artisanal experiences. Please give our guest services staff a call at (415) 357-0700 is there is anything else we can do to feel better about the day. Travel safely home.
Fantastic Scenery and Wine
IAN_H, Mar 2024
The scenery and a brief stop to get a view of the Golden Gate was fantastic. The vineyards were stunning. Muir woods were more beautiful than we ever imagined. The wine at the vineyards was very expensive and the cost to get into Muir Woods is not included in the price.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for taking the time to review your tour and we're glad that you enjoyed our signature combo tour to Muir Woods and the wine country. Let us know if you enjoyed the tastings that were included in the tour and come back again soon!
Fun Day Activity But a Little Rushed
Shane_P, Mar 2024
(Recommend with *) Overall the experience was great. We got to try different varieties of wine in both Napa/Sonoma Valley. The only things to be aware of is: 1. If you don't buy the optional lunch you'll likely be pressed for time on the lunch break (only an hour to walk to, view menu/order, wait on food, then eat) 2. It isn't as relaxed as drinking wine should be
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for the recommendation and your review. And thanks for pointing out that the lunch option is a good way to do lunch since your order will already be prepared when you arrive in Sonoma.
Woods and Wine!
smjacobs33, Mar 2024
This was an amazing trip! There was so much packed in, but we didn't feel rushed at all. The walk at Muir Woods in the morning was a perfect start to the day while the afternoon was filled with lovely views of these iconic wine regions and delicious wine. It couldn't have been better!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for letting us know about your nice day in Muir Woods and the Wine Country. Kimmy enjoyed having you on her tour. Come back soon!
Fun day exploring
Caitlin_M, Mar 2024
Great experience! Our tour guide Randall was so informative and went above and beyond every chance he got! The wineries were all unique and a fun experience! It was rainy the day we went but still was a great time!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for taking the time to review your tour. We will let Randall know it was great. Travel safely home!
Great tour
Robin_v, Mar 2024
Dustin was the perfect tour guide; laidback, knowledgeable about SF and the surrounding regions as well as knowledgeable about wine and food. We highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks for letting us know that Dustin showed you a great time. We appreciate the recommendation.
Full day wine tour
Martin_M, Feb 2024
The tour was really good but the vehicle provided was not suitable for an excursion of this type, it was too small and not very good, the tour guide was very good and overall the experience was great
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We are delighted to hear that the guide and overall experience were great. Most find the smaller vehicle a better experience. Maybe you could call our office and give us a little more specific feedback. We are always looking to get better! (415) 357-0700.
Great experience!
Brandace_S, Feb 2024
Kimmy our guide was great. She was upbeat, knowledgeable and fun. The wineries we visited were great and even though we couldn’t visit Muir Woods due to flooding, the Golden Gate Bridge stop at the end was amazing.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks. We will pass along your review and Kimmy will be delighted. So glad you enjoyed the extra Golden Gate Bridge stop!

Reiko_A, Feb 2024
Dough was our bus driver, and also a tour guide! He is very experienced and knowledgable about Muir Wood Eco System, and was giving us a lot of information! This tour is so worth it. WE had a total of 10 glasses of taster wine! Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks for joining our tour of Muir Woods and the wine country! Doug enjoyed having you. Travel safely home!
