Yountville

St. Helena

This town can be described as quaint, old school and relaxed. As we pass the main street you will see why

Castello di Amorosa

Corks pop first at Castello di Amorosa, a medieval-styled Tuscan castle winery constructed with authentic 13th-century European materials and furnishings. On your way to vaulted wine cellars, check out the moat, drawbridge, towers, courtyards, and armory. Thankfully, Castello di Amorosa puts the same love and attention into its elegant, intensely flavored, and well-balanced wines.

V. Sattui Winery

V. Sattui is a family-owned business started by Vittorio Sattui in 1885. Nationally acclaimed winemaker, Brooks Painter, oversees a “vine to cork” blend of artistry, time-honored traditions, and innovation to consistently produce award-winning, small lot 90+ point wines for a wide range of tastes. The sprawling estate in St. Helena has beautiful manicured gardens and an underground wine cave for tastings by a friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Golden Gate Bridge

On the journey back to San Francisco, we’ll make one last stop (weather permitting) at a scenic look-out point with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge for you to capture some keepsake photos of Marin Headlands, San Francisco skyline, and Alcatraz Island.

Presidio of San Francisco

The Presidio, a 1,500-acre park on a former military post, is a major outdoor recreation hub. It has forested areas, miles of trails, a golf course and scenic overlooks.

Palace of Fine Arts Theatre

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there.

Booked this tour months ago, last year actually. Got an email today to say my tour on Saturday 10th June was cancelled due to not enough people. Only option was a tour on a date I wasn't in San Francisco. I checked their website and they don't even do this tour on a Saturday. Asked them to phone me. The lady said Management had decided not to do Saturdays, so email was basically a lie. She offered me a private Tour for $2000!! Are you crazy. Now left trying to get money back and no wine tasting in Napa, which is one of the main reasons for my visit.

This is a brand new tour and even though guests are loving the Napa wineries we visit, we do not meet the minimum for the tour every day. We are greatly disappointed we could not run this tour on the day you booked. We're glad we got to chat about this and that you received a full refund. For readers of this review, we would like to correct a few omissions. First, we offered any other tour we operate, to let us help you find a wine tour with another operator, to join the Napa tour on another day, or accept a full refund. We did not offer a private tour...you asked what it would cost to run the tour with just one person and we gave you a quote. Finally, we run the tour on Saturdays but you checked our website AFTER we had closed availability on your tour day so others did not have a disappointing experience. We can understand your disappointment and hope that we can make it up to you on your next visit to San Francisco.

The Napa small group wine tour was our first time to try a group outing and it proved to be a great decision.. With 13 of us on a clean, roomy bus we were all comfortable and able to get to know one another which made the trip even more fun. Our guide Randall was absolutely amazing! He struck the perfect balance between interesting information, humor and a genuine effort to make this outing one everyone would enjoy. Oh, and the wine tasting was pretty good too! I highly recommend this tour (and Randall if you can get him!).

It was mine and my partner's first trip to Napa Valley and this tour did NOT disappoint. Randall is the absolute BEST tour guide - so knowledgable about wine/the area and just a terrific human being on top of that. I feel like for our first time in Napa, we really got to see a lot. Great wineries, and this tour makes the tastings easy. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who has not done Napa before - such a great tour.
