San Francisco: Muir Woods, Napa & Sonoma Valley Wine Tour

2.Muir Woods, Napa & Sonoma Valley Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,205 reviews · 11 hours · from $166

Spend a full day with a live English-speaking guide such as Alberto, Ben, or Dustin, combining Muir Woods, three winery visits, Sonoma Plaza, and a Golden Gate Bridge photo stop. You get hotel pickup, transport, tastings, and optional wine-paired lunch, but only about 75 minutes in the redwoods.

“A must do if you have the time and a great way to see what Sonoma and Napa Valley have to offer. First stop was Muir Woods, a whistle stop tour but you get there early and have the woods to yourself. We visited a good selection of small family run vineyards which were all different in their own right. Ru Vango was something else, the owners collection of art including their Salvador Dali collection was amazing. We also had the opportunity to walk amongst the vines whilst enjoying the wine and sampling some of the grapes. The lunch stop in Sonoma really good, a huge selection of restaurants, cafes…”

10.8hr Private Sonoma and Napa Wine Tour from San Francisco.XL SUV

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 191 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Spend eight hours with a private driver, your own group of up to six, and a flexible Napa-Sonoma plan. Choose wineries from the operator’s list or propose your own. Expect hotel pickup, Golden Gate views with sparkling wine, winery tastings at your expense, and a comfortable ride back to San Francisco.

“It’s only a driver and nothing more. If you’re looking for the slightest information about the area or the wineries, this is not the tour for you. Our driver knew which winery we were gonna go to but didn’t even know the times when we’re supposed to be there, you basically set everything up yourself.”

11.Small Group Napa Valley Tour for Wine Lovers

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 173 reviews · from $299

Spend 9 to 10 hours touring Napa Valley from San Francisco with a wine-focused guide such as Randall, Dustin, Doug, or Ross. Visit three wineries, including Castello di Amorosa, enjoy included tastings, stop in Calistoga, and photograph the Napa sign and Golden Gate Bridge.

“We had an amazing time with Doug as our tour guide/driver! All three wineries were very enjoyable. The castle was our favorite but Tamber Bay and Ru Vango were still very nice. The only downside was that you don’t get a tour of any of the wineries to really talk you through the wine making process. We would book again!”

On the day of the reservation, Carlos was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, and a good driver. The van that came for us was clean and stocked with water.

Full-day Private San Francisco to Napa Valley Tour by Luxury Car

15.Full-day Private San Francisco to Napa Valley Tour by Luxury Car

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 6 hours (approx.)

Travel from San Francisco to Napa in a private luxury vehicle for about six hours. Choose your winery stops, including Domaine Carneros, while your driver handles the road. Dan may be your guide, though service can vary. Tasting and reservation fees are extra.

“This is a car ONLY setup not a TOUR at all. I had to do all the work to setup the winery tours and itinerary. Clearly the title says Winery Tour. Be very careful, if you know where you want to go and want to setup,all the visits, then consider it. The driver was great and the ride was comfortable but I did not expect to do all the work. Viator needs to better screen its operators. None of the reviews state that you have to setup your own tours. Also, our driver knew nothing about the area and was quiet the entire trip.”
