We will then make a stop at an Italian winery to enjoy lunch and have our second wine tasting. You will have the chance to taste artisan cheeses, Salami, fresh deli and green salads, pizza, including vegetarian and gluten free options, as well as wine by the glass! We will top it of with a nice little surprise:-)) Our final winery, you get to explore the vineyards for some lovely pictures and good vibes!

Amazing experience from the beginning. Jim was an excellent guide and even messaged the night before to confirm pick up details. Great bus too. We were in Buttercup which was charming. Great wineries and lunch. Highly recommended

Jim was our tour guide for the experience. He was super friendly and explained the history of many buildings and structures that we drove past on the way to sonoma valley. We were greeted with mimosas and felt like it was a super personal experience. I went with my parents and they loved it!

Our driver/guide Ciao was great! Young fellow from Brazil who has only been in SF for a few years but really has learned a lot about the Bay Area! Great communicator and really made the trip fun for our group. The wine part was also good!

My friends and I did the Sonoma Winery Tour and had an awesome time! Our tour guide Caio was great (very friendly and knowledgeable)! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone in San Fran looking for an amazing day in wine country. (Oh and the morning mimosas near the Golden Gate Bridge were a great touch!)

Took my mom on the wine country tour and had a blast! It was great to be a small group (there was just one other couple with us), especially as we watched big tour buses full of people get in and out at other parts of the wineries. I had honestly never been in a VW bus before but it was a fun experience - our orange Poppy was a champ and putt-putted her way through Sonoma. We went to three vineyards, all were difference in vibe and all were delicious. Our tour guide Caio was a delight, as was the guide-in-training Laura. Overall a great experience!

I don't drink, but everyone else on our family trip to San Francisco does! It was fun being driven around Napa in the cool vans. It's expensive, and each winery charges a tasting fee of $20 per person per stop (not included in the Painted Ladies fee), but it's nice to have someone else coordinate the trip. Jim was our tour guide and he was awesome! Funny and punctual! He was a great guide and we enjoyed driving down the 101 in the VW bus singing to his oldies at the top of our lungs.

Our guide James was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to share the day with. We visited 3 vineyards, each of which was charming and unique. James was prompt for pickup and return back to our hotel. It was a great, memorable day.

Driver Al very pleasant & informative. VJB Cellars we enjoyed lunch & atmosphere was pleasant. Roche winery was a favorite. Sat out on patio surrounded by beautiful landscape. Third winery we were all disappointed in. Overall had a great day?

Had a great time heading to Sonoma Valley with Jim on the wine tour. Really loved Poppy, our ride, as well.
Jim was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and made everyone feel included. He had great enthusiasm for the history of the region, the wineries and gave us loads of food recommendations: so many we won’t possibly be able to try them all on our trip! The choice of wineries was great as well: particular highlights were the 2021 Chardonnay at Roche Winery and checking out the oak barrels at the Deerfield Ranch wine cave.
Couldn’t recommend this enough if you’re in San Francisco!
