Great full day tour for the money! Our guide Ron was communicative, punctual and did a great job of explaining things along the way. We went to two wineries — one in Sonoma and one in Napa— with a stop for lunch in Sonoma. We also stopped at two look out points which offered great views of the city. The tour was well organized. Ron’s suggestions for restaurants were helpful as well. The only downside is that the van could use better shocks as sitting in the back was pretty bumpy. And we would’ve liked a little more time to shop at the first winery. Other than that, great experience.
Such a great time out of the city! Ron was our tour guide and he was friendly, punctual, and knowledgeable. The wineries were great, too! I’d recommend this day trip to Napa and Sonoma with scenic spots.
Tastings were free which was wonderful. It was so beautiful at each winery! We were given time at each place to look around and eat or do tastings. It was nice to be picked up in San Francisco to go to Napa! I like a more lively, wild tour situation, but this was nice and super relaxing- especially if that’s ur vibe, then this is perfect for you! The driver has a lot of knowledge on the drive and the wineries taught us about the wines! Jacuzzi wines were our favorite!

Antony is the best!! He was such a kind and knowledgeable tour guide who kept us on track and having a great time. We were picked up directly from our SF hotel. I have to say that Jacuzzi was beautiful and had my favorite wines, but if you love the movie, Wine. Country, (like me), you will love Artesa! The views from Artesa are unbelievable! I nerded out over the movie poster and the autographed wine bottle. Thank you, Antony!! So glad I chose this tour.

Our driver was Ron He was very knowledgeable and friendly We visited two wineries but thought we could have fitted in another winery The first winery only offered 3 tastings and the tour didn’t gave much information The second winery had lots of tastings and Rick from Arteza was incredibly knowledgeable At the end of the course were told that we needed to tip $15-$25 per person We were not aware of this before the trip
Ron was great tourguide. We learned a lot on this tour.
