This was a great tour. Our stop took us to Artesa! I cannot say enough good things about this stop. Beautiful location, knowledgeable tour guide and of courses amazing wines! I will say do research on where to grab a bite to eat at Sanoma Square. The last winery was whatever but their wines were delicious. Would highly recommend if you’re in a pinch and want to go to some wineries !

Overall a fantastic tour with 3 excellent winery tours, great pace between them. Loved the Golden Gate picture stop and the luncheon in Sonoma. Our tour guide gave fun commentary throughout the tour and provided a safe driving experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing! We’re so glad you enjoyed the wineries, Golden Gate Bridge stop, and Sonoma lunch. We appreciate your kind words about our guide!
3 Wineries they take you are family owned and not famous so don’t be discouraged if you don’t go to Caymus or Josh or other known brands.
Tour is worth it
Bus is clean / Every seat with a charger and comfortable ride.
Wineries do try to push you subtly to buy their bottles understandably - most folks were from out of town so due to travel complexity they didn’t buy.
Go with a partner you will love it- wine portions are sample
Size offered but you ask more every time, by the end everyone in my bus were dozing on way back
Home.
Sonoma lunch location is also scenic and you will love the greenery in old town.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed the wineries, comfortable ride, and beautiful Sonoma scenery. We appreciate the recommendation!
A little pricey but I used the deal as a first time user so it became affordable. The bus ride was a little bumpy but the views were worth it. Each vineyard was unique and you get to try all different kinds of wine. The itinerary was spaced out efficiently and we never felt rushed. Walked away with a few bottles of wine and some new friends.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing! We’re glad you enjoyed the wineries, beautiful views, and relaxed itinerary. Cheers to the new friends and bottles of wine!
It was great for a solo outing. The wineries were lovely and I had a delicious lunch in Sonoma! I felt comfortable and safe the whole day.

Hi Lucy, Thank you for sharing! We’re glad you enjoyed the wineries and had a wonderful day in Sonoma!
Enjoyed the visit to Jacuzzi and Artesa wineries. Locations were beautiful to see and great information was shared. Madonna winery left plenty to be desired. Tour group and transportation were great. Made the day easy and enjoyable for sure. Better winery stops than many other tours. Would definitely recommend this tour.

This was the perfect quintessential California wine region tour. Our tour guide was amazing and the bus driver was great as well. It was well worth the value. I would suggest this trip to anyone who wants the perfect wine region day trip.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your Napa wine tour and had a great experience with our guide and driver. We truly appreciate the recommendation!
The Napa excursion with three wineries was wonderful. There's a lot to learn about wines. We had the opportunity to taste several at each stop.😋. The lunch stop was really nice. And the stop for a photo shoot at the Golden Gate Bridge was a great plus. Judith, our driver was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of info on the way. She also had great music on our Return. She was considerate of everyone's needs. And she can really maneuver the bus. Very ompressive. When in San Francisco, book the tour with Viator and you will not be disappointed. Thanxs again, Judith 🤗

It is worth while and very nice trip. I enjoyed the wine, the wineries, and the history that the driver told us.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the wine, wineries, and history. We hope to see you again!
The wine stops in Napa were outstanding as was the lunch stop in Sonoma. Artesa is very impressive and the tour guide there was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. The second stop at Madonna Estate was almost as good as the first stop. Our tour guide Danny was very enthusiastic and engaging. The only disappointment was the stop at the Sonoma winery Robledo. The atmosphere was great but the wine not as good as the previous stops. With all the wineries to choose from they could find a better one.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the wineries, Sonoma lunch stop, and your experience with Danny. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the winery selection and will share it with our team.
Don was not a great tour guide. We started out with him stating two different bus leave times from GG, and he almost left us and others from the tour when he meant the earlier of the times he said. Then talked way too much about info nobody seemed to care much about, like his previous job, prisons, and not wine. Roche Winery was great, good people and info. Artesa was not as great, host kept making comments "for the ladies" and talking about shoes and men. Madonna wine was pretty good but "tour" was 15 minutes max, which was frustrating given how rushed we'd been all day. We planned to leave at 430, then Don proceeded to honk at us at 425 when we weren't on the bus. Felt like a massive waste of money and will not be using Grayline again.

We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback regarding the communication and guide experience, and we’ll share your concerns with our team for review. Thank you for sharing your experience.
It is a long day. Wear comfortable clothing and enjoy the experience. The driver is there to give historical context during the trip, so a part of the adventure is designed to help you learn about the wine and the families who create it.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Went from cold to hot. Some of the vineyards were air conditioned inside
Comfortable bus. I’ve forgotten
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Very nice wineries.. All the staff were nice and very knowledgeable. One issue was the sound system in bus sucked & could not understand driver.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the wineries and apologize for the sound system issue. We’ll share this with our team!
Adolfo made the whole experience unforgettable. My family was there celebrating my nieces 21st and we decided to take this tour. He was fun, informative and kept us entertained. The tour was good, we could have left the 3rd winery out as it wasn’t that great but the whole experience was great!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled Adolfo made your family celebration unforgettable. We appreciate your feedback on the wineries and are glad you had a great experience overall!

Great tour guide, lots to see, nice lunch place, but Madonna winery is terrible. Not big enough for a bus load, not informative and wine not good.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and our guide. We appreciate your comments about the winery experience and will share them with our team.
Danny was our tour guide and he was great. First stop was the Golden Gate Bridge then we started on our adventure to the wineries. Our first winery was Jacuzzi in Sanoma. This winery is more of a traditional looking winery and is beautiful. The views from here are beautiful. The next winery was Artesa in Napa and Rick was our guide here. He is funny and made the tour a great experience. This winery is more of a modern looking winery and is also beautiful. The views from here are beautiful as well. Next we went to Sanoma for lunch. This place is nice but it was hot and we didn’t walk around much after eating. Our final winery was Madonna in Napa. All the wine tasting were great but Madonna was my favorite as they have a sweet wine Muscat. I would definitely recommend this tour.

My main advice take a battery pack phone charger or your charger cord , if you like taking pics. With your phone . Cristin was our guide and she was phenomenal and super knowledgeable about San Francisco and the wine country region. Enjoyed the tour ! 🍷

The Napa Valley/Sonoma day tour from San Francisco was fantastic. Our guide/bus driver Don met us promptly at our pick up site. The bus was larger than our 18 people tour group but was very comfortable. We visited 3 wineries and had time to eat and do some shopping in Sonoma. We visited Roche winery first and had great attendants there who explained a lot about growing of the grapes and making the wine. I loved this winery because after each wine taste we were offered water which helped cleanse the palate but keep us hydrated. Then we went to Artesa winery. This winery is at the top of a hill with stunning views all around. This winery had a strict time limit for our visit so we had to be there on time, but the tour itself didn't feel rushed at all. Then lunch in Sonoma. Our last winery was Madonna Estates (no, not that Madonna). Once again, a great tour but the best part was the vineyard just outside the building and we were encouraged to pick a grape and eat it. It was like eating a little bubble bursting with flavor. A very lovely day indeed.

Great! You Will stop by the GG and have a good view of it!, 3 wineries are awesome, get as much wine as you can,it’s free
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the Golden Gate Bridge views and the three wineries. We hope to welcome you back for another great day in wine country!
My boyfriend and I had a really great time on this tour. The first two wineries were the best, we got to try lots of wines. Lunch in Sonoma was also lovely, the third winery was ok, but not as good compared to the first two. I wish we had a little more time at the first two wineries but overall a great day and really good trip from San Francisco. Be on time for the bus because the driver leaves right on time. Our driver was also incredible, very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information throughout the whole drive.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

The third stop was not worth the stop but the other two were very impressive. Artesa was by far the best. Driver was also rude
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the wineries, especially Artesa. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue improving.
This tour is definitely worth it! My husband was in San Francisco for work and it was a great solo activity for me to do. Edith is the best driver and guide! Della Santina’s is a great Italian restaurant for the Sonoma lunch stop.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with Edith. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Fun experience. Each winery shared different things about wine making. The wine was delicious. Each winery was very different but each one beautiful.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the wineries, the wine, and the unique experiences each one offered. Cheers!
The main host guy is not very good, he was rude to one of my friends. We were sitting in the middle and the people in the back were talking so loud. The old man grabbed my fried. By the shoulder and asked him not to talk so loud and it wasn’t even us. Would not recommend that guy as a host. The wineries are good, Madonna was the worst one but Rosch and Artesa are great would recommend those.

A must do! We went to B.R. Cohn, Roche, and Madonna Estate. We also stopped for lunch (out of picket) by Sonoma Plaza.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Amazing full day tour of Napa and Sonoma. Perfect day out between grand, historic estates and laid-back, intimate vineyards. Definitely worthwhile
