Description

from Half Day Wine Country Experience with Tastings
Leave San Francisco, if only for a few hours, and enjoy a half-day excursion to the world-famous Wine Country. All wine-tasting fees are included. This half-day wine-country tour is perfect for those who don't want to spend their entire day in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

Start your day around lunchtime as you head north to the Golden Gate Bridge. Enjoy a scenic drive over the Golden Gate Bridge to catch the signature San Francisco skyline in the distance. Next, you'll drive through the beautiful town of Sausalito, the seaside Mediterranean-like village harbored across the San Francisco Bay and famous for its sweeping views, on your way to Wine Country.

As the vine-covered hillsides come into view, you will visit two (2) of Tower Tours' favorite wineries for wine tastings and an exclusive estate tour! Experience the inner workings of Napa and Sonoma Valley wineries and their family histories as an expert wine host walks you through the fermentation process, barrel aging, bottling, and, of course, tastings of award-winning varietals! Enjoy 3-5 tastings of their signature blends at each winery.

The day concludes with a scenic drive back over the Golden Gate Bridge and into San Francisco as the sun slowly starts to set into the Pacific Ocean!
