Although the area gained world-wide recognition for high-quality wines after the famous 1976 Judgement of Paris, wines have been produced in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys since the first Spanish priest settled in the area in the early 19th Century. Today, the wine country north of San Francisco is home to more than 600 wineries offering a diverse range of grapes and microclimates, from delicate Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays in the cooler coastal regions of the west to bold Cabernet Sauvignon in warmer eastern hills.
The private, small-group tour starts with a complimentary pick-up at your San Francisco hotel or vacation rental. Depending on the group size, you will ride in a comfortable sprinter van or small mini-bus with large windows and clear views of the surrounding countryside. After meeting your professional driver and expert guide, you will set off over either the Golden Gate or Bay Area Bridge, stopping for photos as requested.. After leaving the city behind, small suburbs will transform into rolling, vineyard covered hills with cattle and other livestock lazily grazing along the side of the road. Yellow Mustard and vibrant rose bushes will surround you as you stop for your first wine tasting after approximately an hour of driving.
The tour offers you the option of choosing up to four wineries within a region or letting your knowledgeable guide suggest the best option. Depending on the weather, the day will include a lunch stop at a local restaurant or a picnic in a nearby park or winery. At the conclusion of the tour, you will make your way back to your hotel or rental drop-off as you relax in the comfort of your luxury vehicle.
Along with colorful narration and local tips, your guide will help you discover everything you need to know to take advantage of the bounty of quality wines, excellent food, and stunning scenery offered by the world-famous Napa and Sonoma Wine Country.
