    DESCRIPTION

    Visiting Napa Valley is inspiring and touring Alcatraz Island and prison is one of the most rewarding experiences when visiting San Francisco Bay Area and California.

    Enjoy a private and personalized tour itinerary of California Wine Country and go where you want to go to get the most out of this short-day trip to Nap or Sonoma Valley. Visit caves and hidden wineries and dine in one of Napa Valley's top dining establishments (depending on the season and Alcatraz tickets departure time and availability). Taste elegant red and white cultivars, including California fine champagne, or savor local olive oil and chocolate, topped off by a cheese tasting experience.

    This new tour is not only reserved for wine lovers but a family friend half-day trip to family friendly wineries as well where visitors can also tour an old press or a cheese factory. California Wine Country is one of the world's great tour and vacation destinations, not only for wine lovers but also for families with kids and for those who do not like wine. There's plenty to do in Napa Valley or Sonoma besides wine tasting. There are family-friendly wineries, fantastic food, and beautiful views, amazing attractions and sights, farmer’s markets, historic sites and cave tours are available for families with kids. You can also visit Sonoma Historic downtown, the Franciscan mission and Sonoma plaza —the birthplace of the California State Bear Flag. Take a complimentary tour of olive tasting at an elegant Tuscan olive oil press with delicious olive oils, or you can visit a local chocolate factory.

    You may as well travel further north if you are not interested in more wine tasting off the beaten path, for that, we recommend the full day Napa Valley tour experience due time considerations. For families with kids, we recommend the full day experience, so you can visit family friendly attractions in Napa Valley, and maybe go to the Old Faithful Geyser and goat farm, where you can learn about Californian geology while watching spectacular natural eruptions of this hidden geyser in Calistoga. We can exceptionally offer you Alcatraz tickets for the next day if you choose the full day tour, you may leave us a message on our live chat in this regard, and we will do our best to assist you and secure your reservations.

    Tips and recommendations: This half day tour to the Wine Country requires 70 monies drive each way from San Francisco, which leaves less than 2 hours to enjoy a wine y of your choice. For that, we highly recommend limiting yourself to two wineries of your choice or let your tour guide help you to choose the wineries in Sonoma Valley or southern Napa Valley, so that you don’t spend your valuable and limited time in the vehicle driving to and between wineries. There are amazing castle and small wineries with majoritic views in the southern region of Napa Valley called “Carneros wine region”. The distance between the south and north of Napa can take an hour or even more, so why not rather spend quality time in the winery of your choice, such as in the Carneros wine region (the closest to San Francisco to save you time), the only wine region that extends into both Napa and Sonoma Valleys. It is influenced by the cooling effect of the Pacific Ocean and a combination of summer fog, warm days, and a long growing season with unique characteristics based on climate and on its geographic features – the Pacific Ocean, the Coast Mountain Ranges and the San Francisco Bay – that affects the region's terroir and put a distinctive stamp on its grapes.

    You will find top country wineries and grape varieties in this wine region, including their signature wines like Chardonnays, Pinot Noir, but also Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Champagne and many more.

    Wine tasting and meals are not included in this tour price. We recommend going to wineries of your choice and cover the required wine tasting fees. However, if you are on a budget, and want to go to a regular tasting room versus an elegant or trendy winery, our tour guides know some great wineries where your wine tasting fees may be waived, and you may also enjoy a complimentary olive oil tasting.

    Important note: Alcatraz hours of operation are seasonal. This Napa Alcatraz tour is not available in winter because the last departure for Alcatraz is at 12:30 pm in winter or even earlier due to availability consideration, which leaves no time to visit Napa or Sonoma Wine Country unless you wish to visit briefly a winery in the Carneros wine region in southern Napa and get right back to San Francisco before 11:30 am. Please contact us before you book this Napa Alcatraz combo tour in Winter (December 1, through end of March). If we receive your transaction or reservation during the period of December 1, through end of March, we will either void your reservation, which takes 7 business days before you get your funds back into your account or offer you an alternative tour option.
