Ausflug in die Weinbaugebiete von Napa und Sonoma

The tour was very well paced. Started off at 9:00 and back in the city at 6:00 p.m. There was 3 visits to wineries and 1 stop in Yountville for lunch. The first place, Vianasa in Sonoma was my favourite. Beautiful views and the wines imo here were the best! The host Leo was very friendly and personable. I could have stayed there for hours just sitting admiring the view. All the places were great and had a generous amount for tasting and time at each winery. the only complaint i have is that the lunch location was a tad pricey. Seems like every restaurant was upmarket. I was hoping to stop at Sonoma Square. Our driver Donnely was very friendly and since we made good time during the day he decided to go on a different route through Presidio so that we can have a nice view of the park and of golden gate bridge. Overall, it was a great day and I highly recommend it!

Had a wonderful time! Actually took two different tours with Grey Line San Fran, and both were top-notch. Be advised that Napa Valley can be 20 degrees warmer than San Fran, so dress comfortably. My ONLY gripe (and it’s a minor one) is our final winery of the day was Sutter Home. Their wines are nothing special, and are available on every street corner in the U.S., so I would have preferred some place a little more rare and special. But I understand that tour operators don’t always have a choice on which wineries are available on any given day. And the Sutter Home facility was perfectly nice. Other than that, LOVED THE TOUR. Josh and Hacine are the best bus driver / tour guides you will find!

All day wine tour with Antonio as our guide was terrific. He had stories and background to keep us amused throughout the ride. Very knowledgeable of grape growing and processes to make it very interesting. City tour along the way was nice bonus to the trip. Would recommend.

The tour itself was a great value- The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the bus was comfortable, and and we received a good amount of wine at each winery for the price we paid. It was my first time to Napa, so I'm not sure exactly what the "norm" across all of the wineries, but the wineries that were chosen weren't necessarily the most scenic, and above all else, none sold wine by the glass. This could be the case in general for Napa and Sanoma, and I was just unaware of this, but I much would have preferred wineries that sold by the glass just given that we were on a tighter schedule being on the bus tour. I absolutely loved stopping in Sanoma square for lunch! It was a quick stop and could have used a little bit more time, although there is only so much time in a day! My last comment it one more so for the tour company- I fully understand the risk that comes with booking a public tour- but on a tour that is fully based on drinking wine, I you should enforce a strict 21+ age requirement. This is not a kid-friendly tour, and truthfully there is nothing for a child on the tour, so there just be no excuse. There was a young toddler on our tour, who screamed practically the ENTIRE time. If this was almost any other tour, I wouldn't feel a need to mention it because I understand there isn't a lot you can do to control a young childs' actions, but I honestly think for this specific tour they should not have been allowed to come. It is not a family oriented tour, and should be restricted to those of drinking age. The fact that we had a young child screeching right behind us and kicking out seat on a Napa/Sanoma tour, definitely tainted out experience.

Three sisters on our 1st CA winery tour while visiting SF (1 sis lives in the city) - we did a lot of research for an all day tour w/good reviews and same ballpark range -- and to get the most outta it. This was it! Vlad was a good guide and driver, the itinerary changed from the original 3 wineries to visit (Nicholson Ranch, Madonna Estate, Sutter Homes) due to the many tours all over Sonoma and race season. Instead, we went to Cline, Viansa and Madonna Estate. All were beautiful properties (Viansa was SUPER beautiful and the view...!)! Great service at each winery; Cline gives a 15% off and the only reason I bought a wine (Black Cashmere) instead of ordering at any winery is bc they have the bubble wrap bag $4 not that it's 100% guaranteed the bottle won't break but after researching wrapping wine bottles -- it was worth trying. Voila - nothing bad happened! No other wineries offered the discount; just the buy more than 1 bottle, X amount discount... Finding the Grayline Tours office was easy and remember to check in, not just stand in line at the bus. Coffee shops near it if you didn't have time to eat prior. Wish we had thought of buying a cheese and meats platter at the nearby convenience shops too bc we loaded on up water crackers at the wineries till lunch at Sonoma Sq. We knew we would eat at Sunflower Cafe and headed to it rather than check out the many restaurants that probably had long wait times. SC was great and had a short wait. LOVED this! Highly recommend.

My friend and I came to San Francisco for a few days and one of our must do/see was go to wine country. The tours at the three wineries were small and intimate with just our group. Being able to speak directly with the owner of on of the wineries was especially enjoyable and informative. Don't be afraid to ask questions - my friend and I got additional tastings when chatting with the staff! Overall the trip was timed out well - two in the morning and then we stopped for lunch in Sonoma (I recommend sunflower café for lunch) and then one in the afternoon. Our tour guide was also informative and funny and would give additional history/stories about wine country while we were driving to and from locations. Overall would really recommend !

Excellent tour of the winery’s ,with driver Hoseine who was really entertaining and very knowledgeable would fully recommend this trip ...

Super day spent with Greg as a driver and guide. Took good care of us. Super weather and choice of vineyards Vikas

Rich was a great guide told us tons of interesting information about the wineries and the Napa Valley. My only wish is that Sutter home was not one of the stops on the tour, because that wine is so widely produced you can get it anywhere! I would have loved to try one of the ones our guide pointed out and told us about on our tour! But overall it was a great tour

Had a great time, wine tasting were very interesting. Bus driver was very informative and fun, Gary and Frankie Grimsman

This was an amazing way to see parts of Napa. The tour basically pays for itself with the bus! The places were great, the views were awesome and we got some time to explore!

We have been to other tours before and had a certain expectation and we were very disappointed. The driver did not speak a good English and he was not knowlagable at all. I expected for him to fill the time on the way their with facts and he failed really badly. We previously went with another company which was a little more expensive and totally worth it. This time they did not have the tour I was looking for on the day I was there so I had to go with another company and what a waist of money. Also the wineries and the wines we tried not very impressive.

Our tour guide and wineries visited were great but because of a passenger who choose to get drunk and use fowl language in the bus made the experience unpleasant for other passengers. Passengers who get drunk should be removed from the bus and turned over to the police.

We really enjoyed our tour. The three wineries chosen were excellent and the food recommendations for lunch were outstanding!

The Cline and adretti wineries were really great and the tasting guide was really informative. However the guide at sutterhome wasn’t interactive at all. Basically just poured drinks. Still overall a good tour!

The wineries were great but the lunch stop was terrible with only 3 options, one of which was fully booked and extremely expensive. Everyone was forced to eat a practically inedible burger and chips.

I went with my mom for her 60th. I am not a huge wine lover so it was just okay to me but she loved it- and that’s what is most important! Tour guide had wonderful British accent. Put us at ease
