Description

This private wine country combo tour from San Francisco begins with a convenient pick-up of your small or large group in the San Francisco Bay Area, then a scenic morning cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge. Your own private guide will set the mood and prepare you for a day loaded with sensory experiences.

Do Some Redwood Forest Bathing in Muir Woods

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

Lift a Glass and Toast Spectacular Napa Valley

Your private wine tour starts at a quintessential Carneros AVA 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 your group’s dinner!

Wine and Dine on Historic Sonoma Plaza

All smiles, your 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.

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 to Complete your Wine Country Day

Heading back to San Francisco, you’ll travel the historic El Camino Real, reflecting on the amazing day your group has just had! For a perfect ending, we’ll stop for a group selfie (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.

Very organized!

Randall was a great guide and it was a beautiful day for being outside in the woods and later at the wineries. Definitely couldn’t have covered that much ground if I’d tried to organize on my own.

Fun day in Muir Woods and Wineries My husband and I loved our tour of the Muir Woods, Napa, and Sonoma. Our guide Doug was fabulous! 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.

Caters to your flexible schedule!

We used Extranomical for two separate field trip tours with 2 teachers and 24 students in our college architecture program. In each case working with them to set up the tours and arrange pickup areas went very smoothly.

Caters to your flexible schedule!

We used Extranomical for two separate field trip tours with 2 teachers and 24 students in our college architecture program. In each case working with them to set up the tours and arrange pickup areas went very smoothly. The drivers were very good at keeping up the route schedule, keeping the bus comfortable, and even being flexible when we had to make a last minute route change on the way back from our recent trip. They also had the most competitive prices for our type of trip. We had used them in prior years and based on the number of good trips we have had we will continue to only go to them when planning future trips

Very polite guide!

Our driver was excellent. He was polite and on time and a good driver with a pleasant manor. This is the first time I did a tour so I was expecting more Touring information as he was driving across the bridge, sites along the way, etc.

Very polite guide!

Our driver was excellent. He was polite and on time and a good driver with a pleasant manor. This is the first time I did a tour so I was expecting more Touring information as he was driving across the bridge, sites along the way, etc. He only talked when we were closer to our destination. Since we are locals maybe he thoughts his comments might be redundant. All in all a great day thanks to him for getting us up and back safely.
