Exclusive Muir Woods, Napa & Sonoma Valley Wine Tour
What your day looks like
Start your morning with a convenient pickup from most San Francisco hotels, then cross the iconic Golden Gate Bridge on your way to Muir Woods National Monument. Begin your day with a peaceful walk among towering, old-growth California Redwoods, arriving before the crowds (1 hour). Stroll along leafy trails as the morning fog lifts from the canopy, which rises hundreds of feet above. Then, enjoy a scenic ride into the heart of California's wine country. Your second stop on this wine-tasting tour from San Francisco brings you to an elite Napa Valley winery. Here, you’ll enjoy a hand-picked flight of local wines, savoring each sip as you discover what makes Napa Valley wine truly exceptional. Take a moment to relax on the wrap-around porch with stunning vineyard views or explore the winery’s fine art gallery. Spend your lunch break exploring Sonoma Plaza’s many restaurants, boutique shops, and wine tasting rooms. Upgrade your California wine country tour with an optional seasonal food and wine pairing experience where you’ll be treated to California cuisine along with a collection of local wines. The second and third winery stops on your San Francisco wine tour bring you to two of our favorite family-owned wineries in Sonoma Valley. Learn about the land and estate wines at each unique location. From a small-production vineyard with a talent for storytelling to a renowned winery with extensive grounds and rich history, you’re in for an unforgettable afternoon in Sonoma wine country. Don’t miss the chance to sample local olive oils and vinegars at the charming winery gift shop! On the journey back to San Francisco, we’ll make one final stop at a scenic lookout point by the Golden Gate Bridge. Here, you can capture stunning views of the San Francisco skyline, the Pacific Ocean, and Alcatraz. End your unforgettable day with a scenic journey back to San Francisco, followed by a convenient drop-off at your original pickup location.

What travelers are saying
Doug was a fantastic tour - so knowledgeable about so many things! I loved the 3 VERY different wineries we saw. Thank you for this.
This was an EXCELLENT tour and we enjoyed our ride with Duston! He was very well versed on Muir Woods as well as the Sonoma Valley Vineyards. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Our pick up location was a bit awkward, but the driver found us waiting in front of the hotel (he had parked on the side of the hotel). Dustin was interesting and humorous to listen to as we traveled. He did a few extras for us, providing a restaurant list and stopping to see the golden gate bridge as we returned home and saw that the fog was clearing. That was a treat. We wish we had extra time at Muir Woods. Loved the experience. The Mayo Winery was the best overall, but our first stop allowed us to walk among the vines and that was delightful. This was an excellent tour and we are so glad we were on board. I highly recommend it.
