Sausalito Food and Wine Tour

That day, my husband and I happened to be the only ones on the tour! We met Viv, our tour guide, who was knowledgeable, informative, and fun! We learned about wine pairings, and had some wonderful food experiences, especially a clam chowder that was absolutely AMAZING! A good time!

My husband and I were the only 2 on the tour that day. The food and wine pairings were good, but the food was excellent on its own! ESPECIALLY the clam chowder!! Unlike any chowder I've tasted! Viv, our guide, was fun, informative, and knowledgeable. Overall, an excellent experience!.

Our guide, Viv, was fun and well informed. The selected restaurants had wonderful food and wine. We were introduced to the best clam chowder we’ve ever had. We began with a Chandon bubbly and a cheese plate, moved to the restaurant with chowder accompanied by a lovely rose, and to Poggio for delicious gnudi with a great Scarpatta Barbera and ended with a bread pudding like no other with white port on an outdoor deck. Everywhere the views were great and the guide a good conversationalist.

Great restaurant selections. Very good course selections: charcuterie w/ bubbly, unique clam chowder w rosé, gnudi w/ scarpetta, bread pudding w/ white port. Best food quality I’ve ever had on a food tour. Very informative and personable guide. Moderate flat walking in scenic location.

This review should be read in full since there are both pros and cons. Pros - 1. Viv was our tour guide and she was amazing! So incredibly personable and knowledgeable of all things food, wine, and the area! 2. The food was absolutely incredible, I actually went back to one of the restaurants after the tour because I was craving the one dish so much but the service was terrible (but not for the tour). 3. The wine and scenery were also amazing! Cons - Left hungry - see We knew another couple that eats about the same amount as we do and they left very full (different tour). I am not sure why but we were not full at all. I think this tour was arranged especially for us since the one we originally scheduled was cancelled. First place we each got a glass of sparkling wine and a cheese board to split. I am sure the cheeses were expensive and they were delicious - just not a lot of food. Second place only one glass of wine was ordered and that was split between my husband and I. We had the most incredible clam chowder that I ever had (that is what we went back for) and we each got a normal serving. Third place again - one serving of wine split between the two of us and one entre split between us and an order of flat bread split. Forth and final - again split the port wine, split a dessert. We figured out that that the company made $255 after food, wine and tip. I understand it is a business - again - we thoroughly enjoyed it, just would have liked a little more food and wine. Our tour guide was so incredibly sweet and gave us so much helpful advise...Hope this helps. Forgot to take a picture of the cheese board.

This tour was really enjoyable. Viv, the tour guide, was the highlight of our day. She was like a walking Wikipedia and knew everything about everything. Just spending the day with her was fun all on its own. The food was great and the wine was superb. We also had a great time hanging out with the other couple on our tour. This has been my 10th food tour or so, and it ranks as one of the best. You don't want to miss it!

Our tour guide had a wealth of knowledge of the town of Sausalito, neighboring San Francisco, all things wine and you could tell she was a “foodie” to her core. My husband and I attended the tour and there was another couple we met at the tour and we had a great time getting to know one another. The views at the restaurants were breathtaking as were the walls to each destination. You won’t be disappointed with this tour!

Great tour of a great town. Viv was fantastic. So very knowledgeable about Sausalito and San Francisco, and fun interesting facts! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour as well as the food (plenty of it) and the wine pairings. A great way to explore a beautiful city, and an absolutely wonderful guide. Highly recommend!

What fun! We had such a blast with Teresa that it truly felt as if we had met up with a friend in Sausalito. She took us to restaurants that all had tables waiting for us, usually the best table in the house. She ordered truly delicious items at each location, paired it all perfectly with beverages, all with a smile upon her face, and laughs along the way. We parted with sincere hugs and hopes of our paths crossing again… just like a good friend.

Great twin, great weather, great company, great food—enthusiastic guide who with us rather than at us, and who added zest and humor to the history she imparted. Visited four restaurants, a chocolate shop, and museum, and so we “covered the waterfront” (pun intended) from perspective of cuisine and culture.
