What you can expect

On this Napa Valley wine tasting tour from San Francisco, be delighted with the history, architecture, gardens, and memorable toasts. Your wine enthusiast guide will prepare you for touring and tasting reserve wines at the Castello di Amorosa and two other celebrated Napa Valley wineries.

Your San Francisco wine tour to Napa Valley begins enjoying the views from the Bay Bridge. As you travel, learn how Napa’s microclimates and soil types combine to produce the world’s best winemaking grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.

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.

Next, your Napa wine tasting tour makes a fun photo stop at the Napa Valley Welcome Sign. Your lunch break is in charming Calistoga, California. Among its hot springs, elegant spas and yoga studios, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect lunch spot and perhaps sampling another locally crafted wine with your meal.

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.

This quintessential Carneros AVA property, once cultivated by the Michael Mondavi Family Estate, is surrounded by rolling hills of planted vineyards. Ru Vango loosely translates to “Road to Art”. Fittingly, the winery’s tasting salon features a collection of Winn Slavin Fine Art.

From a wrap-around porch overlooking a sun-soaked vineyard, enjoy a reserve flight of three complex wines made from grapes grown 2000 feet above sea level and in the pathway of cool San Pablo Bay breezes.

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 SF skyline.

I originally booked a small group tour solely in Napa Valley which included touring Castello di Amorosa medival castle. That tour was cancelled two days before my trip which was a bummer because the purpose of the trip was the Napa Valley wine tour. Extranomical tours did offer a replacement tour to the Muir Woods and Wine Country. It was really a consolation prize. The Muri woods was great, but we only saw 1 winery on Napa and two small basic wineries in Sonoma Valley. The VIP 3 course lunch was basic..the mixed green salad had nothing but mixed greens and dressing and a lot of mine wasnt fresh. I left hungry and not equipped to drink more wine. The wine pairing is nice but you get enough wine during the tour you really could skip it and get a regular lunch. Kimmey our tour driver did an excellent job and really made the tour enjoyable and fun. Her personality is amazing and she has a wealth of knowledge about SF. Muir woods and the 1 Napa winery made it a good experience.

Buenísimo!!! Vale la pena cada dólar , es un tour pocas personas , te recogen en el hotel , te llevan por los puentes más emblemáticos de la ciudad y te van dando ciertos datos destacados de cada lugar por el que pasas , posteriormente en Napa las vinícolas del recorrido valen mucho la pena, Randall es un excelente guía y te da muy buenas recomendaciones.
