A great tour for inexperienced wine tasters (such as myself) and for those who are already quite knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to have a very good tour guide/driver who you couldn't help learning something from. Our first stop took us to Sonoma Square, where we got to stock-up on cheese and crackers for the days' wine tasting. Here is a good opportunity to try out the many samples of cheese and sneak in a quick breakfast snack before moving on up to the Madonna Estate (Napa) for the first wine tasting. After stocking up on some wine we moved on to my favorite stop of the day, V.Sattui. This is a busy stop with many tourists and locals but it's still a very large and beautiful winery and a great place to have a picnic. Your two food options here are either the deli or the BBQ. I highly recommend the BBQ (best tri-tip sandwich ever). Once you are done here, you get to have one last winery stop at Sutter Home, your last chance to stock up on wines for your collection before the scenic drive home. All in all a good day out at a good price. Also note that the driver will drop you off at your hotel, which is very handy if you are new to San Francisco.

The tour was great. The final winery was our favorite, and our tour guide was great. We have already recommended this tour to many of our friends who are going to San Francisco soon.

From start to finish, this was a great experience. The bus was comfortable and our driver was the best. He was so nice, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable about the area, the wineries and wine. The wineries we visited were welcoming and seemed to enjoy working with our driver. I expected to be tired after such a long day, but it was a very relaxing trip. The hotel pick-up is a huge bonus.

Excellent. The wineries visited were highly diversified, huge versus boutique. Good contrast.

The choosen wineries were nice and eventful. It didn't seem like there was enough time to shop or walk around on the lunch break we were given. I did feel a bit rushed, but all in all it was a great day.
