Afternoon Itinerary :
1. pm to 2. pm -Visit the Sonoma Historic Downtown Plaza , a paradise for the foodies, beer and wine lovers as well as shoppers. Visit wine tasting rooms & enjoy your lunch break. Some spend hours there while others enjoy a 90-minute lunch break on average before heading to the next winery. The advantage of being at the Sonoma Plaza is that you can choose your own restaurant and visit multiple wine tasting rooms in one place without appointments or driving around; this is the best way to go , it saves you time and cost much less than tasting wines in a winery to taste the same wines.
-2.30 pm .3.30 pm: Visit the winery of your choice-
Since we don’t include your wine tasting fees to keep the cost down, you may choose your own winery and book it either for 1 pm or 2.30 pm. ALL WINERIES REQUIRE ADVANCE RESERVATIONS (at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance)We do not work on commission and leave customers full freedom to choose their favorite winery. See next

Afternoon Itinerary part 2 :
-2.30pm .3.30 pm: Visit the winery of your choice: We don’t recommend going to Napa Valley as it takes smore time and costs much more to taste wines there. Please bear in mind that this is nota full day wine tour and Muir Woods + the driving time takes 6 hours out of your 8-hour tour.
This leaves barely time to enjoy lunch & visit Wien winery.
-Here are some of the best suggestions for you so you can BOOK the winery of yourchoice :In Sonoma Valley: Viansa Winery, Jacuzzi , Sebastiani, Larsson Winery, or Buena Vista Winery. This takes at least 90 minutes and costs between $35 to $75average per person. Or go wine tasting in Southern Napa Valley at one of these famous wineries: Domaine Carneros, Artesa or Bouchaine ,Etude Wines or Cuvaison. (1221 Duhig Rd,Napa) ( $100 average wine tasting each & 8 week's advance booking is required ) Best option: Sonoma Historic Plaza has it all without appointments or driving around & more affordable.
