Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, Healdsburg, Mendocino and Paso Robles are some of California's most popular wine country destinations. Several bus companies offer day trips to California's wine country from San Francisco, and many wineries and local accommodations offer all-inclusive trip packages.
The Wine Country Bus Tour picks guests up at their hotel in San Francisco, and an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide takes them to three different wineries in Napa and Sonoma Valleys. During the tour, guests will learn how wine is made and participate in wine-tasting events. The bus will also stop at a gourmet deli for lunch. Online tickets are $69 per person and regular ticket sales are $75 per person.
