After lots of research on TripAdvisor and Instagram, we decided to go with Napa Valley Wine Country Tours. The best part about our tour was that we were escorted around Napa Valley for the day in a beautiful party bus and it included breakfast, lunch, and a morning mimosa for only $100! With this tour we were able to get the full Napa Valley experience and visit 4 very different wineries with our new set of friends. We also got to stop at the Golden Gate Bridge for a quick photoshoot on our way to the wineries.
After stopping at the iconic Golden Gate Bridge for a photo, we visited our first winery- Vians Winery! After exploring the beautiful winery and sampling their unique olive oil and vinegar selection, we decided to do a wine tasting. For about $15, we were able to try 4-5 different wines. Some of our favorites include a 2016 Alexander Valley Moscato, 2016 Tracy Hills’ Sagrantino, and a 2016 Contra Costa County Cabernet Sauvignon. We also got to try a chocolate shot filled with our choice of a sweet wine, which was an amazing pairing of chocolate and wine.
Our next stop was the Jacuzzi Winery where we enjoyed the beautiful views of Napa Valley and learned how to drink and hold a glass of wine.
After exploring the winery for photographic spots, we hopped back onto our party bus and made our way to the Madonna Estate Winery. Here, we received a history lesson on wine from one of the oldest wineries in all of Napa Valley. We learned about the wine making process-- and got to take photos by the wine barrels. This was also the spot where our hilarious tour guide, Abe, prepared a picnic lunch for our group.
Our final stop for the Napa Valley Wine Country Tour was Kieu Hoang winery where we purchased our final bottle of rosé, enjoyed the beautiful views, and reflected on our fantastic trip.
