Tour Details:
Your tour departs from Fisherman's Wharf at midday and we head north, crossing San Francisco’s most iconic landmark - the Golden Gate Bridge. Take in the breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline and Alcatraz Island while riding across the 1.7-mile span of the bridge. The tour continues through the charming seaside town of Sausalito and then passes through Marin County into the world famous wine regions Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley.
Enjoy the drive through the beautiful scenery with magnificent vineyards along the way, and visit two highly regarded wineries for delicious wine tastings and an exclusive estate tour. A wine expert will introduce the fermentation process, barrel aging, and bottling, and you will be able to taste some of the best wines yourself.
Towards the end of the day, enjoy the scenic drive back to San Francisco, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge once more as the sun slowly starts to set into the Pacific Ocean!

Driver was nice but talked loudly while one of the hosts was explaining the wine making process. 2nd winery spoke more about the paintings and how much the owners made than the wine. Transportation was good but overall wasn’t very good value for money.

We did not get a ferry ticket. Ferry is requiring us to pay. How do we get a refund

So much fun! Helped me get an idea of where I wanted to visit, took lots of photos and videos, and going across the Golden Gate Bridge and back was INSANE! Views are incredible. Would recommend 10/10
