HEY ENGLAND! - My husband and I went on this tour as part of our honeymoon road trip around California. This half day tour was amazing and covered so much! We had a great tour with Patrick as our guide. Patrick was very entertaining and knowledgeable.
We visited to two vineyards in Napa which were both incredible. All the wine samples were delicious and we left very happy and merry. We were lucky enough to meet a lovely couple at the 2nd vineyard who we got on great with and had even more drinks with them when we got back to San Francisco. A fantastic fun tour, brilliant if you are a bit tight for time. Would highly recommend!

Wine Tour - We had an enjoyable time on the wine tour. It was a nice ride in an air conditioned bus with an amusing driver. We visited two different vineyards and tried several different wines. There was no hard sale tactics, just a genuine imparting of knowledge regarding the wines we tried. The folks at each vineyard were lovely!

Excellent experience - The tour wineries were excellent. Madonna Estate bring us very tastefully and excellent wines and the experience in Ru Vango was very good.

Be on time, take a drink... - Sit back and enjoy the views.! I'm so glad I chose this tour instead of trying to navigate my own way through wine country... It was informative and quite a comfy ride. Remember though, be on time, take a drink/snacks for the drive out there and wear comfortable shoes! I can't stress that last one enough...

Relaxed, Enjoyable Half-Day in Wine Country - As a local living in San Francisco, I appreciated how stress-free this tour made visiting Napa — no need to worry about logistics or driving, everything was taken care of, which made for a relaxed experience. Visiting two wineries felt just right for a half-day trip — enough variety without feeling rushed or overly tipsy (three might have been too much) — though I do wish we had an extra 15–20 minutes at each stop to linger longer. The tour includes a 24-hour bus pass, which I haven’t used yet, and the instructions on when and how to activate it weren’t super clear, but customer service responded quickly and assured me I could use it later, which was helpful. I initially thought the price was a bit steep for a half-day tour, but assuming I’m able to successfully use the 24-hour bus pass (planning to do so in a few weeks), it actually seems like a pretty good deal. All in all, a smooth and enjoyable way to spend a relaxed day in wine country without any hassle.

Fun afternoon in wine country! - Grady was an excellent tour guide, with lots of personal and historical anecdotes about the areas we drove through on the way to Napa county. He was very accommodating when traffic caused a slight delay in the schedule. The two wineries visited were very generous with their tastings of a delicious selection of wines. I would highly recommend this tour!

The first winery,... - The first winery, Madonna, was great. The guide was interesting and the wines were good. The second winery, Ru Vango, allowed us a better view and some interesting artwork but I didn’t care for the wine.

The wine tour overall was... - The wine tour overall was average. The bus driver, however, was excellent. She shared interesting history about San Francisco, pointed out landmarks along the way, and even made an extra stop on the return trip so everyone could capture great photos with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
Our first stop, Madonna Estate Winery, was a highlight. The host was knowledgeable, answered questions thoroughly, and was very generous with the wine samples.
Unfortunately, our second stop at Ru Vanga Winery was less enjoyable. Our group had to wait about 15 minutes before the tour began, as they were running behind. The host seemed unprepared and surprised to be leading our group. Her presentation was underwhelming, focusing heavily on the history of the owner rather than providing meaningful information about the wines, winemaking process, or unique characteristics of what we were tasting. She even made a disparaging remark about the previous owners, which felt unprofessional.
With a different host, the Ru Vanga experience could certainly improve, but as it stands, it fell short of expectations.

This was a great way to... - This was a great way to see the wineries. We were a little surprised we went to Napa since we signed up for a trip to Sonoma. The wineries were beautiful, there could be more simultaneous wine tasting while the guides are talking. Our driver was also very kind and friendly! Although, a little overstimulating at times during the bus ride with lots of speaking. Overall a fun way to experience wine country.

We had a very nice time... - We had a very nice time very punctual and safe driver.
We had a very difficult time getting the bus driver to stop for a bathroom break after the wineries. The drive home took longer than expected. He wouldn’t unlock the bathroom door in the bus and it took me 3-4 tries to convince him stop. There were multiple people who needed to use the restroom.
