Tours - Wine Country

Wine Country Tour
"Wine Country" consists of several counties just north of San Francisco, but the main destinations tend to be Napa and Sonoma. But it's not just the wine that draws visitors to this region. Wine country is also home to natural spas, relaxing mineral pools, therapeutic mudbaths, and all-round luxurious pampering. Calistoga is known for its mineral waters and mudbaths, while St. Helena is home to a number of fine spas. Sonoma's town square attracts both tourists and locals. Spend some time in Santa Rosa for charming bed and breakfasts, fine dining, and of course, delicious wines.

You could rent a car and tour the area yourself if you don't intend to do much wine tasting. This is a great option if scenery and shopping are your preferences. If the fruit of the vine is your primary interest, however, you might consider booking one of the many bus tours that depart from San Francisco every day. These tours typically include a leisurely ride to Wine Country, often along scenic routes, visits to several different wineries, and lunch at one of the many fine restaurants this region has to offer. Be sure that the tour you select includes a behind-the-scenes look at how wine is made!
