We took our half-day wine tour with Joanne as our guide in December 2024. Joanne was informative, personable, and entertaining. This was our first trip to San Francisco and she provided us with suggestions and tips for things to do and places to go beyond just our winery destinations. We visited two wineries, Madonna and RuVango, with Madonna being our favorite. RuVango may have had more to offer in terms of scenery, but the people were friendlier and the wine tastier at Madonna. On the way back into the city, Joanna treated us to a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge. Due to the time of year and the time we were returning, the sun was setting and made for some spectacular photos. If you don't think you're up for a full day wine tour (at our age we don't have the stamina) or can't spend the entire day away, the half-day tour is still certainly worthwhile.
