Description

This special wine country combo tour from San Francisco begins with a convenient pick-up at (or near) your downtown hotel, then a scenic morning cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge. Your guide will set the mood and prepare you for a day loaded with sensory experiences.

Bask in the Awe-Striking Redwood Trees in Muir Woods

On our way to Napa and Sonoma Counties, we’ll make a stop in Marin County at the Muir Woods National Monument. There, you will enjoy an easy stroll through the ancient forest of Coast Redwoods, many as tall as 200 feet! After communing with nature on the Redwood Creek trail, hop back on board to continue the trip to Napa Valley.

Lift a Glass and Toast Spectacular Napa Valley

Your wine country tour starts at a quintessential Napa winery. A wine educator will present a flight of wines hand-picked by the winemaker. Enjoy every sip as you explore their art salon and wrap-around porch overlooking a sun-soaked vineyard. The wines are only available at the winery, so pick up something for dinner!

Wine and Dine in Historic Sonoma Plaza

All smiles and a bit hungry, the tour heads to historic Sonoma Plaza filled with boutique shops and restaurants, catering to every taste. Have a sit down meal or grab food to go for an impromptu picnic on the lawn surrounding the 150-year old Sonoma City Hall. If you would like to reserve a gourmet lunch, check out our Redwoods and California Wine Country Tour with Gourmet Lunch.

Get to Know Sonoma Through its Winemakers

After lunch, we’ll go deeper in search of the laid-back Sonoma Valley vibe at two boutique, family-owned wineries. Learn how winemakers use the unique soils and micro-climate in their vineyard to create their latest estate wines. If you find something you love, check with your host to see if wine can be shipped to your home.

Take a Moment at the Golden Gate Bridge

Heading back to San Francisco, you’ll travel the historic El Camino Real, reflecting on the amazing day you just had! For a perfect ending, we’ll make a photo stop (weather permitting) at the Golden Gate Bridge for stunning views of the city skyline and Alcatraz Island perhaps shrouded in a bit of San Francisco fog.

He gave us a great tour around the city while picking up our tour goers and told us so much about the redwoods and the wine making in the region. The drive was beautiful. Muir Woods was stunning and we had a good amount of time to explore there. The wineries were all delicious and we learned so much about the process of wine making and how to fully enjoy wine tasting. It was a great day!

Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide

Excellent organization of the day allowing maximum enjoyment. More time in Muir Woods would have been preferable but time did not permit. All in all a first class experience.

Wonderful tour, new vehicle!

Wonderful tour, very polite guide, new vehicle, and departure time as agreed. We visited 3 places and all were very well attended. We stopped for lunch with enough time to choose a restaurant. I recommend

Excellent day out!

Don was our guide and driver on our Muir woods and Napa tour. He gave great continuous commentary during the whole trip and is probably the best guide we have had. He knew a lot of facts about the area etc.

Had a great day out

Our driver and guide , Kimmy, was extremely knowledgeable (albeit obsessive about the seatbelts😂). She had a great patter and was funny. Good music selection as well. The three wine tasting sites were great choices. The visit to the Muir Redwood Forrest was mind blowing.

The three wine tasting sites were great choices. The visit to the Muir Redwood Forrest was mind blowing. I wanted to lie down on the ground and just look up and that was before the wine tasting. All in all a great day with an unexpected stop at the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint.

We had such a great day trip with Dustin for our wine tour + stop in the Muir Woods!

He is friendly, polite, and hilarious, and balanced all of that with the perfect amount of banter and history + knowledge of San Francisco, Sanoma, Napa Valley and the Muir Woods/surrounding area. Anyone lucky enough to be on one of his tours is guaranteed to have a wonderful experience!

Our tour was awesome!

Then we visited three different wineries which was the perfect number of stops and the wineries were all very different from each other. On the way back, we did a photo stop at the Golden Gate Bride. Our guide, Kimmy, helped to make the whole day very enjoyable. She was friendly, upbeat, helpful and very informative. You could tell that she wanted everyone in her group to have the very best experience!

We had a wonderful experience with the Extranomical tour of Muir woods, Napa, and Sonoma. Our guide, Ben, was knowledgeable and funny, and he did a great job of informing us about the history of the area. We had a good amount of time in Muir woods, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

We had a wonderful experience!

We also liked that the wineries we visited were all small and family-owned. They all had something different to offer. This was our favorite day in the San Francisco Bay area!

Dustin was a great tour guide.

Gave us extra recommendations for dinner, etc. Muir was beautiful.. I probably could have spent more time there. Wasn’t blown away by the wine but good price for 3 winery tastings and everyone was very nice and welcoming and wineries were pretty. Last one I got to pick figs and mulberries right off the trees and that made my whole day. :)

Dustin was a great tour guide.

Went at end of summer. Make sure to wear layers. Muir was cold but wineries got very warm. Safe to leave stuff on the bus so don’t feel like you have to carry it all with you the whole time.
