This small group Napa Valley wine tour from San Francisco features seated tastings at three of Napa’s best-loved wineries, including the 13th-century-style castle at Castello di Amorosa.

The full tour Itinerary is as follows:

Learn about Winemaking on the Trip to Napa Your San Francisco wine tour to Napa Valley begins enjoying the views from the Bay Bridge. As you travel, learn how Napa’s microclimates and soil types combine to produce the world’s best winemaking grapes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc.

Enjoy Medieval Times at Castello di Amorosa Corks pop first at Castello di Amorosa, a medieval-styled Tuscan castle winery constructed with authentic 13th-century European materials and furnishings. On your way to vaulted wine cellars, check out the moat, drawbridge, towers, courtyards, and armory. Thankfully, Castello di Amorosa puts the same love and attention into its elegant, intensely flavored, and well-balanced wines.

Smile at the Napa Valley Welcome Sign Next, your Napa wine tasting tour makes a fun photo stop at the Napa Valley Welcome Sign. Your lunch break is in charming Calistoga, California. Among its hot springs, elegant spas, and yoga studios, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect lunch spot and perhaps sampling another locally crafted wine with your meal.

Stroll Gardens and a Wine Cave at V. Sattui Winery V. Sattui is a family-owned business started by Vittorio Sattui in 1885. Nationally acclaimed winemaker, Brooks Painter, oversees a “vine to cork” blend of artistry, time-honored traditions, and innovation to consistently produce award-winning, small-lot, 90+ point wines for a wide range of tastes. The sprawling estate in St. Helena has beautiful manicured gardens and an underground wine cave for tastings by a friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Experience the Art of Winemaking at Ru Vango This quintessential Carneros AVA property, once cultivated by the Michael Mondavi Family Estate, is surrounded by rolling hills of planted vineyards. Ru Vango loosely translates to “Road to Art”. Fittingly, the winery’s tasting salon features a collection of Winn Slavin Fine Art. From a wrap-around porch overlooking a sun-soaked vineyard, enjoy a reserve flight of three complex wines made from grapes grown 2000 feet above sea level and in the pathway of cool San Pablo Bay breezes.

Snap the Perfect Photo at the Golden Gate Bridge On the journey back to San Francisco, we’ll make one last stop (weather permitting) at a scenic lookout point with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge for you to capture some keepsake photos of Marin Headlands, San Francisco skyline, and Alcatraz Island
