Experience the best of San Francisco on a tour that combines two of the best day trips from San Francisco: a stroll among the towering sequoias of Muir Woods and a delightful journey through California's wine country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

Tour Details

After picking you up from your selected location first thing in the morning, we'll leave San Francisco behind and head north, crossing the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.

Our first stop will be at Muir Woods, a significant U.S. National Monument located atop Mount Tam, one of the highest points in the county.

On the way to Muir Woods, you’ll learn about the world’s largest trees: the giant sequoias. Upon arrival at the National Monument, you’ll have an hour to explore the park at your leisure, taking in the fresh air as you stroll along the streams and wooded trails.

We'll continue toward Sonoma Valley, the heart of California's wine country. Before lunch, we’ll visit our first vineyard for a wine tasting to sample some of their exquisite wines. Afterward, we’ll stop at Sonoma Plaza, where you’ll have an hour to enjoy lunch on your own and explore the historic square.

Next, we’ll head to Napa Valley to visit two more wineries. Here, you’ll savor a variety of California wines while taking in the picturesque views of the surrounding hills.

After our final tasting, we’ll make our way back south, pausing along the way for photo opportunities of the stunning Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, and Alcatraz.

Finally, we'll say our goodbyes at the meeting point after a total of 10 hours. 

Lunch at Sonoma Plaza

If you'd like to enhance your experience with a taste of local cuisine, you can opt for the lunch package. This includes a delightful three-course meal paired with California wines at a charming restaurant in the heart of Sonoma Plaza. The lunch includes the following options:
