Description

On this Napa Valley wine tasting tour from San Francisco, be delighted with the history, architecture, gardens, and memorable toasts. Your wine enthusiast guide will prepare you for touring and tasting reserve wines at the Castello di Amorosa and two other celebrated Napa Valley wineries. 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. First Tasting. 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. 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. Second Tasting. Experience the charm of V. Sattui Winery, established in 1885 by Vittorio Sattui. Enjoy an elevated seated tasting led by expert staff at this family-run winery. Brooks Painter, a nationally renowned winemaker, skillfully blends tradition and innovation to craft award-winning wines, often scoring above 90 points. Dive into a world of exceptional wines and rich history, all in the welcoming atmosphere of this celebrated winery. Third Tasting. Discover the essence of Carneros AVA at a property once nurtured by the Michael Mondavi Family Estate, nestled among undulating hills of vineyards. Ru Vango, meaning 'Road to Art,' aptly describes the winery, whose tasting salon is adorned with exquisite Winn Slavin Fine Art. Relax on the wrap-around porch with panoramic views of sun-drenched vines, and indulge in a reserve flight of three complex wines. These selections are crafted from grapes cultivated at 2000 feet above sea level, caressed by the cool breezes of San Pablo Bay, promising a memorable tasting experience. 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 so you can capture some keepsake photos of the San Francisco skyline.
