This tour was awesome! Affordable, diverse, fun, and accommodating! We were unable to make our original reservation due to travel issues and they allowed us to sign up for a different date during our trip! The pick up was right on time by o..ur lovely guide, Anthony. He was super funny, knowledgeable, and speedy :) The Muir Woods were beautiful, but chilly. Bring a jacket! Each winery had something special about it- the flavors, the views, the organization, the people, etc. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a fun filled day with lovely views :)Read full review

I enjoyed every second of this wonderful tour. Our driver and guide, Ben, was friendly, informative and fun. He somehow managed to keep our large group on schedule. The Muir Woods were beautiful and an hour was ample time for a leisurely st..roll and a few photos. We visited 3 lovely wineries, each with generous servings of a wide variety of tasty wines. The scenic drive through both the Napa and Sonoma valleys were so relaxing. Lunch in Sonoma was a highlight. I loved the gourmet sandwich and salad at the Sunflower Cafe. I highly recommend this tour!Read full review
We had a great Napa/Sonoma tour with Extranomical - Anthony did a first class job as our guide, and made the excursion fun and educational! Highly recommend!
We enjoyed the day trip out to Muir Woods and the wineries. We quite enjoyed Mayo Winery due to not only the wine, but the passion behind it. We also enjoyed Cline Vineyards, beautiful location, grounds and personable people. We weren’t t..oo keen on the middle winery, Kieu Hoang as we found it more of a sales pitch then a tasting/educational experience. Ben was terrific!! We chose to do lunch on our own and highly recommend the Sunflower Cafe in Sonoma square. Would book again!Read full review
Pros- My tour guide, Anthony was the best. I absolutely love his British accent and his charm. He was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, comedian, and helpful. I like the commentary water. I like all three vinerys we visited, but my favorite.. was the Cline. The Cline had more wine samples (6 selections, unlike the other vinerys had 3 to 4 selections to taste). All have a tasting room for you to taste more, if you asks. I brought the cashmere black magic and roussane marsane at the Cline. The Cline has a museum, nice outdoor seating, animals, and much more. I enjoy the sunset at the end at the Golden Gate Bridge. Cons- I wish we had more time to enjoy each site. I felt rush because we were on a time schedule. Maybe you guys should consider doing two winery and the Muirwood site. So we can relax and enjoy the sites. I would definitely use this company again. Mahalo!Read full review
This tour was a fantastic way to explore more of San Francisco and wine country. What made the tour in addition to muir woods and the wine was the fantastic service offered from Extranomical Tours. Interactions with them to book the tour we..re very plesent and the driver on the day, Anthony, was amazing. His knowledge, advice and great humour made the trip very enjoyable.Read full review
We had a great time on our tour with Jacob he was great! The gourmet lunch was a little disappointing. The salmon was not fresh the cheese plate was too small and there was no desert! Jacob however was the highlight he kept us all happy and.. went the extra yard to make sure of it. As tourists from Australia it would be good to go to a winery that will send wine home for us. Thanks Ian and DeRead full review

The tour consisted of a stop at Muir Woods, 3 wineries, time in Sonoma for lunch (you can select your own restaurant) and a stop at the Golden Gate bridge for photos. This was an excellent tour and my first time to Napa and Sonoma. I high..ly recommend this tour. Mark, our tour guide, was fabulous and had great recommendations for the lunch options (the tour was on 1/7/18). Just enough time at each stop and nice selection of wineries. Very good value for the cost of the tour.Read full review
