Local operator · San Francisco
A small van picks up in San Francisco and takes 12 guests at most to two included tastings, Jacuzzi in Sonoma and Artesa on the Napa side of Carneros, with two hours on Sonoma Plaza between them. Pick it for the small group and the bay viewpoints at the same price as a big coach.
The van leaves San Francisco between 8:45 and 9:00 am (confirm your pickup time with the operator after booking) and stops for 15 minutes on Treasure Island for the skyline. From there it's up to wine country, with 12 guests at most, which is the main reason to book. Bottled water and light snacks are on board.
There are two wineries. The first is Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in Sonoma for an hour; from 1 January 2027 the listing switches it to Roche Winery, also in Sonoma. Then two hours of lunch on your own on Sonoma Plaza, and an hour at Artesa Vineyards & Winery in Carneros, a modern hilltop estate on the Napa side with views across Carneros. Both tastings are included ("$95 value", the listing says). On the way home you stop for 25 minutes at Battery Spencer, the classic Golden Gate viewpoint in the Marin Headlands, and you're back around 5:30 pm.
Two tastings in nine hours is a gentle day, not a big one. Artesa is the only Napa stop, so don't book this expecting the valley floor. For three tastings in a coach, see the Napa and Sonoma tour; for Napa proper with a small group, stay in the valley on the picnic lunch tour.
Confirm the exact time and place with the operator after booking.
