Redwood and Wine Country Tour Highlights

• Only tour to combine Muir Woods’ redwood forest with an afternoon in the wine country
• Demonstrations by wine makers and educators at three Napa/Sonoma Valley wineries
• Includes a  three course wine-pairing lunch on historic Sonoma Plaza
• Photo stop at the Golden Gate Bridge
• Reservations, tasting fees, gourmet lunch…everything is included
• Award-winning experience with guaranteed daily departures.

Begin this incredible full-day tour by visiting an old-growth California Redwoods forest in Muir Woods National Monument (or an alternative park) ahead of the crowds and in time to feel fog lifting from the Coastal Redwood canopy that soars above. Stroll along pristine nature trails and look out for native coastal ferns, clover, squirrels, foxes, and even deer.

While still exhilarated from what you’ve seen, your expert wine guide will lead you to sip the good life on this Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley tour. All three wineries you visit will be delightful in their own unique ways. You’ll enjoy a friendly wine country welcome and breathtaking scenery while learning the stories behind the wineries.

In the afternoon, be ready to add to your wine cellar - most of the wines are not sold in retail stores. The stops on our wine tour are Napa and Sonoma wineries hand-selected by our local experts.

For the food and wine pairing experience, your group will sit together for a table-side presentation of local wines paired with each expertly prepared course of California cuisine. See what is on our seasonal three-course menu for this tour. After lunch, you’ll have a little time left to spend your lunch break exploring Sonoma Plaza’s boutique shops and historic buildings.

The afternoon portion of your redwoods and wine country tour will include exploring Napa Valley and Instagram-worthy experiences at two more boutique wineries. Get to know the winemakers and unique features of their wine offerings.

We’ll make one final stop on the way back to San Francisco from the wine country at a scenic look-out point with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, and the Bay Bridge where you can take some fabulous photos while reflecting upon the amazing day that you have had!
