Many people refer to San Francisco as the original Wine Country and often use it as a synonym for the more popular description — California Wine Country. It should be noted that both the descriptions aren’t too different, since San Francisco is at the core of the California Wine Country. Taking part in San Francisco wine tours is the most sought after way of being familiarized with why San Francisco is regarded at the nucleus of wine production in the United States.
San Francisco wine tours are an educated manner of understanding how the local wineries function with the help of professionals who make such guided tours a more enlightening experience. Conventional San Francisco Wine Tours include dedicated wine tasting sessions at each of the distillery and visitors could enjoy up to five or six wine samplings at each facility. There are some popular spots that are a part of all San Francisco wine tours:
Napa Valley — this is regarded as the epicenter of quality wine production in California and is a must-visit among all San Francisco wine tours. The region stretches from the Napa River banks along the fields of Mount St Helena down to the San Pablo Bay area. Most San Francisco wine tours make the longest stopover at the Napa Valley distilleries for wine tasting and for exploring the ruggedness of the rural San Francisco countryside.
Chalk Hill — the name is actually a reminder of the chalky dominant soils that are found here and not of the taste of the wine which is excellent. The wine here tastes a bit different as it is exposed to a slightly warmer and drier climate than other parts of California’s wine-producing areas.
Sonoma Mountain — this part of the San Francisco wine tours is often recommended only for folks who have the ability to hike to a certain minimum elevation. The terrain is not too challenging but it could prove tedious in certain seasons. The region to be explored lies along the stretches of the dormant volcano of Mount Sonoma that provides lava-enriched soils for the wine crop.
Some other notable places that are often included as a part of the San Francisco wine tours include Alexander Valley and the Dry Creek Valley.
