The first wine tour stop...
Gyanna_D
, Jul 2022
The first wine tour stop was so nice . Our tour guide talked with us and was informative. The second wine tour stop was not good at all ! All we did was sit in the hot sun and taste wine there was no tour and no tour guide talking with us and they gave us our last tasting when it was time for us to leave. When we did not have any time to actually drink or enjoy it.

Disappointing
Anonymous
, Jul 2022
The best part of this was seeing the countryside north of San Francisco., We visited one winery where we had a brief lesson in tasting but nothing about the grapes, the method or anything.
Then we visited a place that doesn’t even grow grapes - they just buy up others. The manager was really hostile when we asked questions about wine production etc.
The driver was way over top. The music he played was so loud I got a headache and on the way back the lyrics included “you motherf*****”
Lovely tour with commentary. Comfortable bus and niche wineries. Great day!

We were able to see the wrarf, Golden Gate bridge, Sausalito and small towns in Napa and Sonoma. The tastings were not rushed. Great presentations at the wineries. Beautiful setting for pictures. We truly enjoyed our day and are happy that we chose the half rather than full day becuae it may have been overload for us. Half day was just right.
Lovely trip

The trip really surprised us, lot of things for a half day trip. It included a point view stop in the Golden Gate Bridge, we pass throughout Sausalito and Sonoma downtown. The two wineries was very good, and we tasted 4 wines in each one. Please eat something if you won’t want to be drunk 😝. The guide was very nice and he was telling everything during the drive. We definitely recommend this tour. Thanks Matt.
Adequate

The tour was fine. Driver/tour guide was informative and pleasant. It was great seeing the scenery. The Madonna Estate offered very good wines...but there was a lot of talk and attempts to be funny (which really didn't work). At the second winery - Muscardini Cellars - the wines were adequate at best...and if you wanted a "charcuterie plate" the cost was $30 (for what probably cost them $3 to make). Disappointing choice in winery.

Unfortunate start with miscommunication at pick up point. The bus was a different color but Marco was nice enough to circle around to find us. The pick up is at the side door of the WESTIN. Across from the Handlery Hotel.
The Tour is 5 hours with no food.BRING A SANDWICH AND WATER. Again- hungry tourists are not happy.
The Madonna Winery tour was lovely and informative but wine was underwhelming.
The second winery was also red wines I did not care for.
Excellent wine tour

We had a great time on our wine tour! This was a great way to see wine country on a busy trip to San Francisco. We went to Madonna Estate where we learned about wine making and tasting and tried 4 different wines. Then to Muscardini Cellars where we relaxed on a beautiful day tasting 4 more wines. Our tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable of the area and made the trip very fun!
My first time in Napa!

Could hardly call this a “tour”
Claire
, Apr 2022
The only reason I’m even giving this 2 stars is because the first winery (Madonna) was nice and very informative - what a real wine tour should be. We had a lesson on proper tasting, the guide walked us through the 4-5 wines we would be tasting and then they poured and answered our questions. The second stop was at a place that was just a collection of shops where the wine sample was poured and ready on a table for us to grab and just walk around the garden and stores in an attempt to make you spend more money. Zero tour, zero explanation of the wine - I don’t even know what the “winery” was called. Save your money, and go somewhere where you’ll
Actually experience what wine tours are all about. If you just want to drink wine, you’re better off buying a bottle at a restaurant.

Great trip. Marco was a good driver and was knowledgeable of the areas.
We loved the stop at Madonna. Tasted 5 Wines which were all good. Second stop at Meadowcroft was just ok. They gave us small pours of 2 wines but they had some shops and gardens that we could enjoy while sipping our wine.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
