Highlights

The Wine Country Shuttle from San Francisco is designed for travelers who want a more flexible and enjoyable way to experience both Napa and Sonoma without being locked into a rigid tour schedule. This small-group experience includes visits to two hand-selected wineries, one in Sonoma and one in Napa, while also giving you extended free time in Sonoma Plaza where you can shape your day however you’d like. Guests may choose to add an additional tasting at one of the many nearby tasting rooms, enjoy a relaxed lunch at one of the plaza’s popular restaurants, browse local shops, or simply unwind with a glass of wine and take in the laid-back Wine Country atmosphere. Unlike traditional wine tours that rush from stop to stop, this experience is paced to feel easy, social, and customizable. Wine tasting fees are not included, giving guests full control over their spending and allowing them to choose tasting experiences that best fit their interests and budget.

About San Francisco

San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
