So cool!

Got my tickets from Viator immediately, and was easy to scan in! We got the 4:20pm time slot because it was the only one we could make work. 1 hour was not enough time! Plan for 2 hours minimum, 3 if y I u really like to read and listen to things! This museum had so much more than I thought it would.

Small Group: Ultimate Napa & Sonoma Wine Tour from San Francisco

Michael_P, Nov 2025

Nicholson and Vango Wineries

Let me preface by saying I'm not a wine connoisseur. This trip was 100% for my wife to enjoy and experience as a bucket list item. The Nicholson winery in Sonoma blew me away. Mike was our host and of the 4 wines we tried, I enjoyed each of them immensely (so much so we joined the wine club and got some wine shipped back home immediately). Each wine was aged 7 years and the history behind the family, the winemaker (who is NOT a Nicholson), and the property made for an amazing experience. There was a definite difference between the Sonoma and the Napa experiences, but more on that in a minute. After we left the Sonoma winery, we went to Sonoma Square for a 2 hour lunch/shopping experience. Overall it was very relaxing and the Square is what you'd expect from a tourist perspective (expensive shops, decent food, etc). The Napa tour at the Vango winery was more about the art collection than the wine initially. It did include a tour of the machinery and the warehouse, including a tasting from straight out of a barrel. The wines were newer and didn't have the smooth flavor we found at the previous winery, although they were still flavorful. It was an amazing experience that should be on everybody's bucket list!
