A morning in San Francisco begins with the city slipping away under the Golden Gate as sparkling wine is poured for the group on the North End at Fort Baker. The road hums north through Marin; vineyards and rolling hills lay out like maps of soil and sun. In an XL SUV, the tour moves with the slow, deliberate pace of tasting—pauses at castle-like cellars, hilltop estates and family-run caves where fermentation rooms smell faintly of oak and earth.
