This was the worst tour I have been on. The bus driver never said a word the entire trip. We were just dropped off at each stop no explanation or direction. No WIFI on the bus. This was a waste of our time. NEVER AGAIN!

I had a great time! I was celebrating my birthday along with 9 other friends and decided it would be best to do this because we wanted everyone to be able to drink & enjoy themselves. We had so much excitement right when we got on the bus. But our tour guide was sending negative vibes from the start. I felt like I was being scolded by a parent the whole time. We all didn't think he even enjoyed his job, which made it very difficult for us to want to listen to him. For someone that is going to be guide a WINE tour where people will be drinking alcohol, you'd think he'd be a little more laid back and chill, or even happy. We weren't even that loud and he kept shushing us. A couple times he's mentioned very eerie details during the tour, like bringing up how many people have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and how San Franciscans would "gladly push you off" because there's already too many people in SF. It was a total buzzkill from my birthday celebration. Aside from that, we had a wonderful time. We made friends with another group that was also celebrating their birthday (Happy Birthday Courtney!) The winery choices were wonderful (Viansa, Madonna Winery and Sutter Home). We got to stop in the little downtown in Yountville and had lunch at R&D Kitchen. If you're going with a larger group, I'd suggest a private tour. But I think this option was best for smaller groups.

Great locations and wine, perfect day trip out of San Francisco. Guide was great, shared a lot of interesting info about the areas including SF itself. Vineyards were more focused on wine tasting and the history of each vineyard, not much about the wine making process.

Lovely vineyards included in the tour. Viansa was a small winery we visited and it was by far the most scenic. The drive was relaxing and overall an excellent experience.
