Eat, drink and be merry

With the world-famous wine regions of Napa and Sonoma just a short drive away, it’s no surprise many of the best bars in San Fransisco are wine bars. If Cabernet isn’t your drink of choice, the city has countless craft breweries and cozy cocktail bars perfect for whiling away a few hours on our San Francisco night tours. But you wouldn’t want to drink on an empty stomach, which makes night tours the perfect opportunity to try some SF specialties. The city has a canon of classic dishes dreamt up over a century ago, and your local guide will show you where to find the best of them.
