San Francisco Wine Country Tours

Your journey to the beautiful Napa and Sonoma Valleys begins here.

 

I enjoyed visiting the different wineries visited on the Muir Wine & Wine Country tour.  Each winery had a distinct personality, and it was a pleasure to be introduced to so many different places.  Curt [the tour guide] was informative and gave a very intimate tour of Sonoma and Sausalito.

Wine Country History and Information

Springtime in Northern California’s Wine Country

Buds on a grape vine. Once the days begin to lengthen and the air begins to warm up in the California wine country, the vines respond by pushing new growth. This can be a worrisome time for growers as a late spring frost can destroy new bud growth and devastate the year’s crop. First to appear on the vines are new tendrils and fresh leaves.

Next come the buds themselves, each with a cap called a “calyptra.� Once the calyptra has fallen away and pollination occurs, actual wine grape clusters will begin to form.

Spring temperatures are typically mild and the rolling hills of the California Wine Country still have their lush green winter colors, making it a beautiful time to visit and take a Napa and Sonoma Valley winery tour.
