    White wine served in their reusable stemless glass (plastic for safety!)

    Booked a Saturday sunset cruise and it was such a perfect day and wonderful experience! We boarded right on the dot and left the dock on-time, no issues. Water was slightly bumpy on the way to the bridge but that's because we were going against the current. Still, we enjoyed the views and beautiful breeze. Route takes you to and under the Golden Gate Bridge then back towards the Bay Bridge. You definitely get your entire time on the boat! We were served our glass of wine, 3 whites offered and a red and they were yummy! Crew is of 2 and both gentlemen are nice and knowledgeable. The owner is super fun and sweet, we had such a lovely time onboard. Whether a local or a visitor, 10/10 recommend booking this sunset cruise!!

    Such a fun experience. We celebrated my 40th birthday and had an amazing time. I cannot wait to go back next year!

    The best boat tour in SF! Vintage & stylish boat with an awesome crew.

    Best boat tour in SF! Vintage & stylish boat with awesome route and crew that takes you under Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. Fun for groups, dates, or just seeing beautiful SF!

    Evan and Andrea are amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed our boat tour! It was so relaxing and peaceful. We got such great sites of the Golden Gate Bridge, and of the Alcatraz prison we would definitely recommend this boat tour to anyone. They are a great team.

    Second year in a row that our SF office had our summer social on the Wine Therapy. Our team got lucky in that the weather in mid-August was significantly clearer and warmer than the previous year. Brian is super communicative and quick to respond leading up to the day of the boat cruise and his crew mate is friendly and attentive. We've had about 12 people each time and the boat could accommodate another 8 pretty easily. The drinks are good and they allow you to bring your own food so we've gone with Golden Boy Pizza and La Luna Cupcakes which were both a hit. The boat cruise is fairly stable and we've not had anyone feel sick either time. The sightseeing is great as we went under the bay bridge, by Alcatraz and around the ball park. Seeing the kite surfers up close while out on the water was pretty cool too. Bottom line: Great bay cruise for both work and private events that gives a good bang for the buck.

    If you're visiting SF and not on the Wine Therapy, what are you even doing? Don't miss your chance to book a ride with Brian, the host with the most!! The music is awesome, the views are amazing, and the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. The boat goes under the golden gate and around Alcatraz. Theres a great variety of wine, seltzer, beer, and liquor. We have done the sunset tour, which is breathtaking and we have also brought groups on during the day for the perfect group event in San Francisco.

    We had a wonderful sunset wine cruise experience!So fun being on a smaller classy and unique vessel instead of a mega tour boat. Brian was a fantastic host! Great views of the bridge, Alcatraz & downtown SF. Highly recommended!

    Great boat tour bridge to bridge and around Alcatraz! Booked last minute from the pier and had a great time! Loved being able to get right under the Golden Gate Bridge and close to Alcatraz. Highly recommend!

    We stumbled upon a booth selling tickets for this cruise after being bummed that the Alcatraz tours were sold out for the night. What ended up being our second choice turned into better than anything we could have imagined! This family owned business with their crew of three were super welcoming and warm. Not to mention, the wines were actually pretty good! I didn't try one I didn't like, which is surprising to me. I would recommend to anyone wanting a nice cozy way of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge up close at sunset.

    What a fun and great experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the cities history! He kept us all laughing the whole tour! GREAT TIME!

We found Vantigo after asking ChatGPT the best way to see the city. It recommended Vantigo. After looking at the yelp reviews and some YouTube videos, I made the reservation. We can't be happier with our experience. Chad, owner of Vantigo and tour guide, was the friendliest and coolest dude to have guide you around the city. Very knowledgeable, extremely easy to talk to, and more than happy to play photographer. We saw Coit tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, the place that I swear was Naboo in Star Wars, some random local know spot with an amazing view of the city, and drove through pretty much all the neighborhoods while Chad pointed out what he recommended we check out. The tour was about 3 hours long and came with bathroom stops at photo locations. If you are looking for a way to see everything without having to plan it yourself or rent a car during your trip, this is what to do. You won't be disappointed.

A few of us went on a weekday evening after a gym class, and fortunately the atmosphere was casual enough that we didn't feel underdressed. It was pretty quiet, and there were still plenty of high-top tables and lounge areas available when we arrived. The staff were friendly and explained how everything worked - they link your credit card to an Embarc card (with a QR code), which you then scan to select and pour your wines. I appreciated that there wasn't really a pricing incentive for larger servings - so, in a way, that made it easier to try smaller 1 oz tastings of multiple wines without feeling pressured to commit to half or full glasses, which is ideal if you enjoy exploring different options like I do. We were a bit pressed for time since they closed at 8pm that day, so I'm def looking forward to coming back to try more drinks (they rotate their offerings) and spend some more time enjoying the ambiance.

Another fabulous experience is you can try a wine, a taste a half glass or a full glass, without any pressure to purchase the whole bottle. I found a few new wines, to me, that were quite nice. There are plenty of wines available all dispensed from a machine from which you select the amount of wine desired. Definitely a place to go to wind down from a day in San Francisco.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable as well. I came in with a specific ask and they pointed me in the right direction. I also asked for some recommendations and he pulled a few bottles, all under $40. A super fun shop in Pac Heights. Two things that I wish were different, but perhaps just isn't written in the cards: (1) A lot of the wines are very high up on the shelves, which makes casual perusing very difficult. Asking the staff to climb up and grab random bottles just feels like a big ask. I personally like looking at the importer, ABV, and other details on the label to help me shop and this is only possible for about 50% of the wines that are accessible without a ladder; (2) Unfortunately, they no longer allow guests to purchase a bottle to drink in the shop, which is unfortunate because I love browsing the shelves at Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant and finding a bottle to open up in the shop to drink. If you're looking for a great bottle shop to pick up something to drink at home or to give as a gift, this is a great spot. Where else are you going to find old bottles of vintage Cinzano?!

They even let us use their cupcake stands, and through in extra tables for our props and everything. The staff were so helpful in making I'm not sure we had enough food and everything was running smoothly. They even offered to reheat our food when we didn't get to eat it due to being so busy, and when we didn't eat it they packed it in to go boxes for us. When it came time to end our event one of our guests broke a glass and it was no big deal. The staff cleaned it right away and I didn't hear any complaints, we were only told to make sure the kids had shoes on. The venue is located right across the street from the embarcadero. So the view is amazing. I give this place 5+ stars and will definitely be having another event here.

The Golden Gate was 1 hour, and the Bridge to Bridge was 1.5 hours. The Bridge to Bridge has few times, so check their website to find one that works for your schedule. On the boat, there is a bar, popcorn, and snacks you can buy. There is a bathroom, although I didn't use it. There are several floors and the lowest floor with the bar has tables. As you enter, if you need the narration in another language, get the headset. By default, over the loudspeaker is English. The first boat trip I did was more crowded on the top deck with more people talking loudly, so I missed about 1/4th of the narration. The volume was never too loud or painful, but with people talking loudly, you will miss it unless you move closer to the speaker. Biggest tips: Wear a jacket and dress warmly if you plan to sit on the top, open air deck. It is extremely windy. Also, having a hair tie is helpful, so you don't have hair blowing in your face. It can be pretty smooth but by the Bay Bridge, the wind makes the water rougher, so you may want to take a motion sickness medicine if you are sensitive. Staff was friendly from the ticket booth to the people at the end telling your goodbye. Nice boat tour!
