Painted Ladies Vintage VW Bus Sonoma Wine Tour with Wine Cave and Lunch
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
San FranciscoThe ride in a vintage VW bus starts with stories about San Francisco's history before the wine begins, then heads through Sonoma Valley to three award-winning wineries. Each one was picked for its character, friendly and knowledgeable staff, setting and wines. One stop is a tour of a wine cave at one of the most scenic wineries in Sonoma and Napa. The second tasting comes with lunch at an Italian winery: artisan cheeses, salami, deli and green salads and pizza, with vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus wine by the glass. At the last winery there is time to walk the vineyards and take photos.
