Itinerary

Begin your journey with Big Bus Tours as you travel from San Francisco toward the world-famous wine regions of Napa and Sonoma Valley. Guests can choose between a Half-Day or Full-Day Wine Country experience, depending on how much time they wish to spend exploring vineyards and wineries. Enjoy a comfortable return coach journey, making it easy to sit back and enjoy the scenery from the very start. After departure, the tour heads north across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and passes through the charming coastal town of Sausalito. Along the way, a knowledgeable guide provides live narration, sharing stories about the Bay Area’s landmarks as well as the long and rich history of winemaking in Napa and Sonoma. The rolling hills and vineyard landscapes gradually signal your arrival into California’s celebrated wine country.
On the Half-Day Wine Country Tour, the experience focuses on visiting two different wineries in Napa and Sonoma Valley. At each stop, you enjoy several tastings of the winery’s signature blends, with all tasting fees included. An exclusive estate tour adds depth to the visit, offering insight into family-run traditions, fermentation methods, barrel aging, bottling, and the care that goes into producing award-winning wines, guided by an expert wine host. The Full-Day Wine Country Tour offers a more in-depth exploration with visits to three winery partners, including Madonna Estates, Muscardini Cellars, Sutter Home, and Ru Vango Winery. At each winery, you have time for guided tastings, estate tours, and detailed explanations of grape growing, natural farming, and winemaking techniques. This option also includes a stop at historic downtown Sonoma Square, where you have free time to explore, enjoy lunch, browse boutique shops, or visit local art galleries.
As the day winds down, both the Half-Day and Full-Day tours conclude with a scenic drive back toward San Francisco, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge once more as the light softens over the Pacific Ocean. The journey ends back at the original departure point, leaving you with lasting memories of fine wines, beautiful landscapes, and the timeless charm of Napa and Sonoma Valley.
