Small Group Half Day Sonoma Wine Country Tour

Overview

Elegance and expedience. A truly memorable afternoon in the heart of the Wine Country.
You will be picked from your hotel in downtown San Francisco, Nob Hill, The Wharf, and after the tour, we will bring you back to the same location.
We always make a short stop on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures and to compare temperatures there and in Sonoma.
On the way to the wineries, you will hear about the history of San Francisco and California, as well as about the wine industry in Sonoma and Napa.
From the freeway, you will see St. Quintin, the Mission in San Rafael, and Marin County Civic Center building by Frank Lloyd Wright.
We will visit 2 wineries in Sonoma and spend at least one hour at each place.
Both tastings are included.
After the tastings, we will visit Sonoma Plaza, the largest public square in California, ex northernmost point of Mexico, home of the last 21 Californian Mission, Sonoma Barracks, and about 40 different restaurants.

The first portion of the trip including the Homewood Vineyard was quite enjoyable. The second Vineyard, Jacuzzi, was a gorgeous facility. BUT, the literally coerced, supposedly optional tasting for $66.10 per couple, was a total disappointment. The 4 wines presented were not in any fashion representive of the fine wines of Sonoma. Of the 4 couples on our tour, 2 students from Germany and another couple from Spain and 2 American couples were unanimous in our disappointment and we all left the tour feeling ripped off. Furthermore, the prominent sign in the bus again virtually demanding a 20% gratuity was insulting and IMHO would best have been presented upfront on the website so it could have been paid on the credit card rather than searching around for enough cash to tip the tour guide. I gave the 2 German college students enough cash for their "mandatory tip" as they were surprised and one was very upset. I confronted the tour guide at the end of the tour about our concerns, he was respectful but understandably defensive.

Ulrich gave us a short tour of SF which we already had. The first estate winery was awesome and informative. We had a rushed 40 minutes for lunch and did not get to walk around Sonoma which would have been interesting. Jacuzzi was a waste of time and our $65...no interaction with the personnel, no information given. Not impressed.

The tour guide was excellent and so knowledgable, it’s a lovely drive to the winery’s. The only downfall is they advertise that extra tasting is $25 but it’s came to more for just testers which makes it an expensive day out!

Dear Joanne_M, thank you so much for your feedback again, we are glad to know you liked the tour, but it is written on our website and on Viator either that the second tasting is excluded and you will have to pay for it at the winery.
