The good parts: - You get to see so many things in one day - The price is great for what you get The not so good parts: - This is more of a tour than a wine tasting bus. I was expecting more of a relaxed vibe, but it felt a little rushed with the addition of the tour guide narrating for about 75% of the driving. It felt at times the tour guide was trying to just fill up time with talking. - The wine venues you visit are very small, so don't assume you are going to visiting any of the bigger/more expensive vineyards. Note: For anyone that gets nauseous easily, make sure to account for the fact that you will be on a bus on windy bumpy roads. I felt very nauseous for part of it and another person actually threw up.

The scenery and a brief stop to get a view of the Golden Gate was fantastic. The vineyards were stunning. Muir woods were more beautiful than we ever imagined. The wine at the vineyards was very expensive and the cost to get into Muir Woods is not included in the price.

(Recommend with *) Overall the experience was great. We got to try different varieties of wine in both Napa/Sonoma Valley. The only things to be aware of is: 1. If you don't buy the optional lunch you'll likely be pressed for time on the lunch break (only an hour to walk to, view menu/order, wait on food, then eat) 2. It isn't as relaxed as drinking wine should be

This was an amazing trip! There was so much packed in, but we didn't feel rushed at all. The walk at Muir Woods in the morning was a perfect start to the day while the afternoon was filled with lovely views of these iconic wine regions and delicious wine. It couldn't have been better!
