Private Sonoma and Napa Wine Tour from San Francisco

Alex was completely wonderful! The wineries and restaurant he recommended were our favorites. Thank you for making our day memorable!!

We had a great trip with Edward. Very prompt and personable. We were on time for each tasting or booking. He gave us tips at each please to make the most of our experience. This is so much better than being with people you don’t know. Would recommend the private car!

We could not have been happier with this experience. First of all, the coordination and the crafting of the trip were timely, interactive and helped us with a plan for a great day. Secondly, the driver -- Dean -- was great with communications for our initial link-up and throughout the day and lastly, the tour was flexible based on what we wanted, where we wanted to go next and all of the information throughout the day. To be honest, Dean was the real star as he made great recommendations, provided great service and truly made us feel like we were on a special, private tour. We WILL be back to have Dean take us around Sonoma next time (this was just Napa). Hopefully we will have a little more "tasting stamina" as well...

Our driver was Kyle, couldn't ask for a nicer guy! Beyond thoughtful as well!!!! He customized our already specific tour once he realized the types of wines we preferred after our first wine tasting. Kyle even suggested visiting a vineyard that made olive oils and balsamic vinegars, which were really tasty and a great selection to sample and choose from.

The driver was not aware of our itinerary that was discussed ahead of time. We had to ask/request for our bottles of wine that were included in the price. Driver told us that he paid out of his own pocket for one nicer one instead of giving us two ? He even came and sat next to us at one of our tastings as if he was joining us. He was not professional or prepared for this trip and we are requesting a discount.

ALEX is a great guide, saw and tasted great wines. I disliked the way payment was made , I was texted the night before the tour, they were in a panic that I will not pay

Excellent driver, knowledgeable about the Sonoma Valley, appreciated his suggestions about options. Great trip, would book again!

We are so so lucky to have found this tour! We really enjoyed planning our trip with Mason and doing research and mapping out our trip on our own. Donna, our guide, was truly the most incredible person for this trip and we feel so fortunate she was chosen for us. She’s a local resident of about 50 years and that came in handy for she had the answer to any question we had. She picked us up right on time at our downtown San Francisco hotel. We started at Gloria Ferrer Wines which has probably the best view in Napa from a winery. It was slightly busy there even in off season so plan on being there 15-20 min before anyone takes your order. We didn’t mind though. We then went to Trefethen where we didn’t have much time before our lunch reservation but one of the guys there GENEROUSLY offered us a complimentary tasting and we ended up buying a bottle! O-K-D Three red blend- wow, so good! We then had a 12:15 reservation at Farmstead Meadow Ranch....holy cow was that one of best lunches we ever had! We had crab legs and trout. It was such a cute place and we sat outside in the sun- weather was incredible- got lucky! From there we headed to Castle di Amorosa. That place was very popular. Our tour guide there was very cool and we were in awe of everything. We ended up buying 3 bottles of wine- 2015 Sangiovese, 2018 La Fantasia and 2018 Late Harvest Gewürztraminer. So yummy. Last stop for a hot minute was at JCB tasting Salon. You really should try this spot. We ran out of time but would love to go back- it was very swank in there! Again, we thank Donna profusely! She felt like a friend we’ve known forever. My girlfriend really enjoyed her company. She was hysterical as well! She dropped us off at our Napa bed and breakfast right on time. Thanks Viator and Cardinal Transportation for being such great companies!

Our driver was so knowledgeable about the history in both the San Francisco area and the Napa area. He made a special stop on the far side of the bridge for a photo opportunity for us.

Lonnie was wonderful. He toured us a bit in San Francisco before heading to Napa. Great recommendations and flexible!
