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…”

15.Napa & Sonoma Valley Full-Day Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 55 reviews · 9 hours · from $140

Travel from San Francisco by air-conditioned motor coach to three Napa and Sonoma wineries. Your English-speaking guide explains family wine traditions, fermentation, barrel aging, and bottling, with 3 to 5 tastings at each estate. You also get lunch time in Sonoma Square and scenic Golden Gate Bridge views.

“Tantissime degustazioni! Tre cantine in totale. Si passa poco tempo all'aperto, cioè ci saremmo aspettati di visitare le vigne; anche solo un giro veloce, che invece è sempre mancato. Non posso valutare correttamente il rapporto qualità prezzo perché non ho idea di quanto vengano pagate le cantine a fronte delle degustazioni. Il prezzo dell'escursione basso non è, ma d'altronde senza guidare una macchina la soluzione è ottimale. Consigliamo!”
