You'll Love San Francisco Wine Tours
San Francisco wine tours are some of the most popular in the world, and for good reason. Both Napa Valley and Sonoma wine country are located within a short distance of this energetic California city. You can find tours that take you through one of these regions as well as tours that take you through both. The tours that include both Napa and Sonoma usually take an entire day. If you love wine, taking one of these tours can be a wonderful way to spend your time when in the San Francisco Bay area.
Let's look at an example of the average Napa Valley/Sonoma tour. You will most likely be traveling on a minibus with a group of other tourists. On your trip you will cross the legendary Golden Gate Bridge and head south into the Sonoma region. Most of the time, these day long tours allow you to visit between three and four vineyards and wineries in the area. You'll get to wineries both big and small. Big wineries are those that mass produce wine, while small wineries, often referred to as boutique wineries, are those that produce smaller quantities of wine. These smaller wineries are often of great interest to the wine connoisseur.
On your tour you will be guided through the winery and shown how everything works. While the tour is included in the cost of the trip, the wine tasting may not be. This is because most wineries now charge an additional fee for tasting that is not included in the price of the tour. On an average winery tour you will learn about the wine production process from start to finish. You may get to see the grapes being grown and tour the area where the wine is stored. You'll learn the elements that go into making a delicious and distinctive wine and of course learn the proper method of tasting wine.
San Francisco wine tours should be on the itinerary of every visitor to the area. Even if you aren't a wine lover, you will surely enjoy seeing the breathtaking scenery and learning about the fascinating process of wine making. If you are a wine enthusiast, you'll get to explore different types of red and white wine and taste vintages that you've never tasted before. The region of San Francisco is filled with treasures just waiting to be explored, with the incredible wine being at the top of the list.

Today's Tip On Wine Tour
This is just a fancy way of describing the local variances in terrain and growing cycles. Things such as how much sunlight plants get, drainage of the fields, temperature and other such factors define how well the grapes are going to grow. In most cases, grapes need lots of sun and proper drainage systems are the most important factors for growing tasty grapes. Proper pruning of the branches also produce better and bigger grapes. There is such a high demand for vineyards and grapes that even some countries that have never grown vines before are getting into the industry. |
