Begin your day with pickup from select San Francisco hotels. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge and head north to Muir Woods National Monument, arriving in the morning when the forest is often quieter.
Spend about one hour exploring the peaceful trails beneath the ancient coastal redwoods. Walk at your own pace, enjoy the fresh forest air, and take photos among some of the tallest trees in the world.
From Muir Woods, continue into California Wine Country for tastings at three distinctive Napa and Sonoma wineries, each offering a different experience.
Begin your wine tasting in Napa Valley at family-owned RuVango Winery. Taste a selection of red and white wines, including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while learning more about the wines and winemaking process. Relax on the wrap-around porch overlooking the vineyards or explore the winery’s art collection, currently featuring works by Salvador Dalí. RuVango combines Napa wines, vineyard views, and art in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Enjoy free time for lunch in historic Sonoma Plaza, where you can choose from local restaurants, cafés, shops, and tasting rooms. For a more complete Wine Country experience, upgrade to an optional food and wine pairing lunch featuring California cuisine paired with local wines. See details at checkout.
Next, visit Mayo Family Winery, a local Sonoma winery known for its small-production wines and personal approach. Enjoy an educational winery tour that takes you through the barrel room and offers a closer look at how the wine is made. Your tasting may include a variety of red, white, and dessert wines, making this stop both informative and relaxed.
Finish your tastings at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, a Sonoma winery inspired by the Jacuzzi family’s Italian heritage. The beautiful estate incorporates Italian design and is connected to the same family famous for inventing the Jacuzzi hot tub. Taste a selection of Italian-style red and white wines, then visit the olive oil tasting room to sample olive oils and balsamic vinegar, including balsamic imported from Italy. The spacious grounds and Italian atmosphere make this a memorable final winery stop.
On the return to San Francisco, stop at a scenic Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint for photos. Return to you pickup location.
NOTE: If you select the tour with the gourmet lunch upgrade, please specify your choice of one item per course after the booking completion. Our team will reach out to you.
