City and Wine Tour

Highlights / General details

The tour departs from Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco at midday and heads north, across the Golden Gate Bridge, through Marin County into the world famous Carneros Wine Region and to the charming town of Sonoma. Included on the tour are visits to 2-3 wineries in beautiful Sonoma County, spanning from mass production vineyards to smaller boutique wineries.

This fun and informative Wine Country tour not only offers a taste of superb wineries in the region, but it also offers a chance to enjoy the splendor of the beautiful vineyards and picturesque Sonoma County as your guide escorts you from winery to winery. You travel in a minibus and group sizes are rather small. You will visit two highly regarded Sonoma wineries. One tasting fee is included, as well as complimentary bottle of water and chocolate. There also will be some free time to enjoy historic Sonoma Plaza.

In addition, you receive a 1 Day Hop-On Hop-Off Pass which combines two diverse tours on one value ticket! It gives you the opportunity to explore Downtown San Francisco, the world famous Golden Gate Bridge, and Golden Gate Park with unlimited hop-on hop-off use for 24 hours. You can explore San Francisco in the morning before the start of your wine tour, or simply use your 1-Day Pass the next day for hoping on and off the bus at any of the designated City Sightseeing stops to explore all major sights of San Francisco at your own pace.
