Picnic Lunch - Napa Valley
Upon entering V. Sattui, you will be greeted with complimentary cheese and food samples in a European-Style Marketplace. Here, you will have the opportunity to shop the gourmet cheese market & deli ($10 voucher provided) before venturing outside to sit with the rest tour group or by yourself on a wooden picnic table and look out into the beautiful vineyards and winery grounds. We highly recommend meeting some friends on the tour and sharing a bottle of wine during lunch. While the special deli provides a wide variety of food choices, some people just get bread, cheese and wine for thier picnic lunch.
Ferry/Bay Cruise
It's not just any Napa Wine Tour from San Francisco. On this tour you will take a ferry cruise from Napa Valley back to San Francisco as the sun begins to set. You can go outside or inside the boat during this 50-minute calm boat cruise across the bay back to the Ferry Building. This ferry cruise is key because it completely avoids bad traffic back to San Francisco.
From the Ferry/Bay Cruise you will get close to Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, the city of San Francisco, as well as the Golden Gate Bridge from a short distance away. Thus, during the Ferry/Bay Cruise portion of your wine country tour, it will be at this point, you will know you made the right choice!
Brand New Shuttles
We don't use motor coaches on any of our tours - we use shuttles. Many Napa Valley Wine Tours from San Francisco tend to use larger motor coach buses and as a result cannot go to most wineries. We only use brand new shuttles for our wine country tours, so our customers will get to ride to Napa in luxury.
Your Tour Guide will show you many things about the California Wine Country and will also give a short presentation on wine 101.
On our wine country tours, it's not uncommon that you will talk to many other people on the tour and take group pictures to remember the people you met.
