California Redwoods and Wine Country Tour

Our Wine Country & Muir Woods tour is a cut above the rest. You'll get to Muir Woods before the crowds, maximizing your time in the park. In addition, you'll visit both Napa Valley & Sonoma Valley wineries (wine tasting fees included!). These are just a few of our tour highlights that outshine the competition. Read on to discover the difference.

Start your morning exploring the Redwood Sequoia groves in Muir Woods National Monument (approximately 1 hour) before other tour groups reach the park. Muir Woods is home to some of the oldest and tallest trees in the world.

A short drive north and you’ll spend a relaxing afternoon wine tasting in California’s renowned wine country. We make 3 tasting stops. We will visit 2 wineries plus we will stop at Vine Alley at Sonoma Plaza where a big variety of wine tasting rooms are located. This will give the guest more time to explore the historic Plaza with all its tasting rooms, boutique shops and cafes.

On the journey back to San Francisco we’ll make one last stop at a scenic look-out point with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, and the Bay Bridge. (Depending on weather and traffic conditions).

Return time is between 6:00pm and 6:30pm depending on hotel location.
