Itinerary

The day begins at 9:00 am heading North across the Golden Gate Bridge which offers great views of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Island and the skyline of the city. In the Marin Headlands you will wind your way through the coastal mountains and along the base of Mt. Tamalpais (the highest point in the North Bay region) on your way to Muir Woods National Monument.

The Coastal Redwood is the tallest tree species in the world. These trees only thrive in Northern California and Oregon, due to the thick fog that blankets the west coast in the summer months. Muir Woods is the only surviving stand of Old Growth forest in the Bay Area today. In Muir Woods you will have 1 1/2 hours to wander amongst these towering giants. The sights, sounds, and smells of this living museum are sure to reconnect you with a natural world.

The group will reunite before noon and travel to the wine country where you will spend the afternoon sampling fine Sonoma County wines. Taste a variety of white, red, and dessert wines at wineries such as Homewood, Cline Cellars, and Benziger Family among others. A stop for lunch will be incorporated into the itinerary, either at a winery or at the Historic Sonoma Town Square. At Sonoma Square, you will have the chance to visit the Mission San Francisco de Solano, the northernmost California Mission, taste cheese samples at the Sonoma Jack Cheese Factory and peruse the boutique shops that surround this center of commerce.

Traveling through the Northern California wine country you will see the beautiful valleys that have supplied the world with award-winning wines for over 60 years. The landscape of rolling hills laced with rows of wine grapes is impressive and provides a romantic backdrop for memorable photographs.

On our way back to San Francisco, enjoy a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge to witness the awe-inspiring view of San Francisco from the Marin Headlands. The tour will end with a hotel drop-off at around 6:00 pm.
