We will begin the trip by making a crossing of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge. Even in the fog, views from this San Francisco icon of Alcatraz Island, Fort Mason, Angel Island and Tiburon will be breathtaking.
The wine enthusiast guide who accompanies the tour will add expert insights and unparalleled passion for California wineries. As we depart, sit back and relax as we take the hour-long journey through golden hills to the California wine country.
We will kick things off in the wine country with a visit to a family-owned winery. The winemakers will proudly describe how they combine their traditional wine-making techniques with a mix of sunshine and cool air from San Pablo Bay so the grapes grow plump and wine matures to perfection.
Once you’ve had a ‘taste’ of this fabulous region, we’ll move to a higher and cooler micro-climate where you will learn to appreciate the difference a few miles can make. At an estate winery, capture the unforgettable sights, sounds and tastes of one of the world’s finest wine-producing regions.
After finishing up at our second winery, your California wine country tour will begin its return trip to San Francisco. A panoramic view of the City by the Bay awaits you. Finish this incredible day with a second crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge on the way back to San
