My only complaint is that there was not enough time at Muir woods! Still a great experience, but I just wish there was more time so you could do a good full lap around the park. The wine tastings were all good. You essentially get introduced to 3 different levels of wine making/experiences. One is more of a start up company, another is your average level wine maker, and another is a big time producer. All the wine was good and the hosts/owners were knowledgeable and friendly with any questions.

Pros:
Brian the tour guide was amazing, so knowledgable and gave us a great tour including around San Fran.
Comfortable bus ride
Small group
Good wine, great views
Convenient pick up and drop off - could get dropped off at someone else's stop if you wanted to explore a different area of SF

Cons:
Muir Woods - although the woods were interesting I don't think I would sign up to go to them if I could re-do this, skip this tour and do one just of Wine Country instead.
Muir Woods were much colder - 10-15 degrees - and it was a pretty small area to walk through.
Slow start to the day, hadn't done much by 1. Just one winery and the muir woods. Then we went for a cheese tasting that was just the dairy section of a grocery store. From there we were on our own for lunch.
We didn't go that far, 2 of the wineries were owned by the same company and were across the street from each other, would like to see more variety.
