With the Napa Valley and Sonoma County wine producing regions so close it's no wonder 70% of visitors to San Francisco include a wine tasting tour while here.
 Wine country visitors can enjoy tasting internationally famous still and sparkling wines from grand estate cellars and small family boutique wineries. The journey itself is a beautiful experience as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge on the way to viewing acres of vineyards and unique winery architecture.
Whether you are making your first visit or have visited multiple times, are a wine novice or a connoisseur, there is always another winery to visit, wine road to explore and wine to taste.
Wine country is also a place to learn about California history and visit the northern most Mission on the edge of historic Sonoma Square and the earliest vineyards and wineries in the state.
Spend a full day—or two—wine tasting and touring or split the day with a culinary tour of San Francisco, or walk among the redwoods at Muir Woods National Monument in the morning and wine tasting in the afternoon. Take some time for shopping and dining at historic Sonoma Plaza or in beautiful Sausalito then return to San Francisco via ferry boat. Enjoy the interaction with a small group or call all the shots on a private tour.
