Embark on a unique adventure that blends the beauty of California's old-growth redwoods with the charm of Wine Country. Experience breathtaking views, explore the majestic Muir Woods, savor lunch in historic Sonoma, and indulge in wine tastings at three select wineries, all capped off with a photo stop at the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
If you’d like a splash of wine country with your expedition through the Bay Area’s only old-growth redwood forest, you’re in luck! Traverse through two of California’s unique landscapes with one trip in a unique tour that combines nature and culture.
Enjoy a scenic drive, taking in panoramic views of the city skyline, Alcatraz Island, and the boat-speckled bay. The journey continues through the Marin Headlands, offering glimpses of Mt. Tamalpais before arriving at the cool, shaded canyon that houses the majestic coastal redwoods.
You’ll have 60-90 minutes to explore the ancient redwoods, the tallest trees in the world, along wooden boardwalks. These trees, unique to Northern California and Oregon, thrive in the region’s summer fog. Muir Woods, the only surviving old-growth forest in the Bay Area, was preserved thanks to a 1908 land donation by Senator William Kent and his wife.
After your time in Muir Woods, we’ll head to Wine Country. As we travel north, your guide will share the history of the region, known for producing exceptional wines even before California became part of the Union. You’ll enjoy lunch in Sonoma’s historic town square, with options to pack a lunch or dine locally, and time to explore the town’s shops and historic sites.
The afternoon is dedicated to wine tasting in Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley, with visits to three select wineries offering a variety of wines, including whites, reds, and dessert wines.
The day concludes with a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge for a photo opportunity before returning to San Francisco, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel with time to enjoy a relaxing dinner.
