Overview
The City and Wine country combo ticket offers a comprehensive exploration of San Francisco and its surrounding wineries. The tour starts with a fully-guided city tour and in the afternoon, you can lean back and enjoy the visit to the famous California Wine Country.
Half Day Wine Country Tour (approx. 4-5 hours)
Your tour departs from Fisherman's Wharf at midday and we head north, crossing the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge with great photo opportunities from high above the San Francisco Bay. The tour continues through the charming seaside town of Sausalito, and then passing through Marin County into the world famous Carneros Wine Region and beautiful Sonoma Valley.
Enjoy the drive through the beautiful scenery with magnificent vineyards along the road and visit two highly regarded Sonoma wineries for delicious wine tastings and an exclusive estate tour. A wine expert will introduce the fermentation process, barrel aging, and bottling, and you will be able to taste some of the best wines yourself. Towards the end of the day, enjoy the scenic drive back to San Francisco, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge once more as the sun slowly starts to set into the Pacific Ocean!
This fun and informative Wine Country tour not only offers a taste of superb wineries in the region, but it also offers a chance to enjoy the splendor of the beautiful vineyards and picturesque Sonoma Valley as your guide escorts you from winery to winery.

Explore Chinatown, North Beach, the Civic Center and Haight Ashbury, or go shopping at Union Square. Take a stroll in Golden Gate Park or around the Palace of Fine Arts, and try the ‘fresh catch-of-the-day’ at Fisherman’s Wharf.
The highlight of the tour is the ride across San Francisco’s most iconic landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge. While crossing the 1.7-mile span on an open-top bus you will have breathtaking views of the bridge, Alcatraz Island and the stunning skyline. Hop off at North Vista Point to take your best selfie, or walk across the bridge high above the bay.
You can choose to stay on the bus for the full tour and see all major highlights of San Francisco in 2 hours, but with your flexible 1-day ticket you are free to explore the city at your own pace and hop on and off the bus as often as you like for the entire day.
