The California countryside is home to vast lands lined with grapevines that blur into the distance behind glasses filled with newly discovered blends that are perfected at vineyards across the state. One of the best ways to truly experience these locations is through a guided tour. Tours allow visitors to really dive into the history of an area as well as the wine making process. It also makes traveling with a group a lot easier.
According to Travel & Leisure, some of the best wine tours in all of California include the Pained Ladies Wine Country Tour, Toast Tours, and BIN 415 Private Tours. Each offer a new and exciting way to sip your way through the day.
Here is what Travel & Leisure had to say about a few of the best tours:
Pained Ladies Wine Country Tour:
"Painted Ladies Tour Company is beloved for their San Francisco city tours tootling around in a (very on-theme) vintage VW bus. The family-run operation also spins their retro wheels through legendary Sonoma Valley on small-group tours to up-and-coming wine producers."
Toast Tours:
"If your group has some beer and whiskey fans in the mix, this Paso Robles company is an excellent choice. Groups aboard Toast's 12-person shuttle buses can visit distilleries, micro-breweries, and even a cidery, as well as local wineries. (Tablas Creek Vineyard is a favorite for its organic Rhone-inspired wines and herd of cute alpacas.)"
