Another Side Of San Francisco Tours - Wine Country Tours

How fortunate for us. For we who live here, for visitors, for those nearby – the wine country of Sonoma and Napa beckons to San Francisco, so close to this historic city, yet so far away in terms of the portal in time you’ll feel like you’ve entered. It is no secret that world-class wine has been produced here for over one hundred years, and that it has been made here on a large scale since the 1960’s, but secrets abound nonetheless in the valleys and hills of these two exceptional wine producing counties.

Different micro-climates of various aspect and orientation to the sun, slopes of hills facing in different directions, varied altitudes and subtle nuances of elevation, different types of soil and attitude of flatness versus slants in the earth all make this prime line of northerly latitude optimally suited to the production of so many separate wine grape varieties. Really, this place is like no other on the planet. Grapes that favor cool conditions flourish here, grapes that like warmth thrive here, too – for the first time visitor you’ll be amazed at the quality and variety of wines grown just a short jaunt from fabulous San Francisco.
