Our picks
Top tours & tickets in Napa & Sonoma
A tour is the safest and simplest way to visit wineries. Options that start in Napa or Sonoma give you more time at the cellar door; day trips from San Francisco include about three hours of travel but need no car at all. Check each listing to see whether tasting fees and lunch are included, as this varies.

Booking tips
- Tasting fees are often extra and can be substantial in Napa. Read the inclusions before comparing prices.
- Harvest weekends in September and October sell out; book tours and restaurant tables in advance.
- Eat a proper breakfast and drink water between tastings. It is fine to use the spittoon or leave wine in the glass.
- Most tours from San Francisco are listed on our San Francisco tours page too.

A deep, startlingly clear alpine lake ringed by peaks on the California–Nevada border: beaches and boats in summer, big ski resorts in winter.
Sierra Nevada & national parks Yosemite
Granite cliffs a kilometre high, some of the tallest waterfalls in North America and groves of giant sequoias — the Sierra Nevada at its grandest.
