Every stop was great in its own unique experience, so no issue there. The only problem for me personally was the age of whom I was sharing this experience with.

Vintage VW ride to Sonoma wineries from SF. Golden Gate mimosa stop, small-group tastings, and a wine cave visit.

“The registration was easy! The day before I received a text from our tour guide Caio letting me know the pick-up time and place! Caio was an excellent driver and conversationalist, and we were very comfortable with him. The first stop at the GGB for mimosa and a photo op was a perfect way to start the trip. All three stops were great as well. I really appreciated that we were never in the van for too long- always very manageable. I will definitely recommend to friends and use again the next time I am in SF!”
