Napa or Sonoma?

we only have 1 day to do a tour from San Francisco and we wont have a car so we have to do a tour that leaves from SF. Any preferences to one place over the other? TIA

Napa - more notoriety; more big-name wineries; glitzier (?)

Sonoma - more laid back, cheaper


We personally liked Sonoma more. Since we're not big winos (we like to drink it but don't know a lot about wine), we felt more comfortable in Sonoma. But honestly, both are beautiful and have some great vineyards!

Have fun!

If I could go back and do it again, I'd do Sonoma.

We did a bunch of vineyards/stayed in Napa and then met my cousin for dinner one night in Sonoma and liked it so much more.

They have this square in the middle of the town with restaurants and stuff right there. I didn't feel the same quaintness in Napa.

As for vineyards, I liked going to the smaller ones as opposed to the larger well known ones - you got more bang for your buck and usually the wines were more pricey.

We've only done Sonoma and we did that because we wanted a less touristy feel. We LOVED Sonoma.

We stayed in a bed and breakfast right off the town square and walked to lunch and dinner...it was wonderful!
