Did get to visit Aressa which the most beautiful of the three with absolutely beautiful and breathtaking views of vineyards in the hills. It was a very quick n rushed tour due to lost time although our guide Rick was awesome!!! Wines were excellent @Artessa!!!”

It might have been the jet lag & the wine but I was exhausted after the day, in a good way :) Overall, a great experience.

14.Napa & Sonoma Valley Full-Day Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 55 reviews · 9 hours · from $140

“Tantissime degustazioni! Tre cantine in totale. Si passa poco tempo all'aperto, cioè ci saremmo aspettati di visitare le vigne; anche solo un giro veloce, che invece è sempre mancato. Non posso valutare correttamente il rapporto qualità prezzo perché non ho idea di quanto vengano pagate le cantine a fronte delle degustazioni. Il prezzo dell'escursione basso non è, ma d'altronde senza guidare una macchina la soluzione è ottimale. Consigliamo!”
