Muir Giant Redwoods and Wine Country in one day ! - Departures from San Francisco - Small Groups by Van

Muir Giant Redwoods and Wine Country in one day !

The ONLY tour combining the two most popular destinations outside of San Francisco ! Groups no larger than 13 make this a great way to travel.

The 9 hour Muir Woods National Park & Wine Country Tour starts in San Francisco and heads north to an extended stop in Muir Woods National Park. The afternoon is spent wine tasting in Sonoma County and then returns to San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge

The day begins with picking you up from your lodging between 8:00 and 9:00 am and we will head North across the Golden Gate Bridge

We wind our way through the coastal mountains near Mt. Tamalpais, the highest point in the North Bay region, on our way to Muir Woods. There are great views of the Pacific Ocean and the dense forests that thrive in the foggy environment around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Maps and guides in hand we begin with a short walk in Muir Woods, a National Monument set aside in 1908 as a federally protected area. Here you will see the tallest trees on earth and a portion of a forest that used to cover large sections of the west coast. Now this is one of the only parts of the forest that has never been logged. The Coastal Redwoods will be towering above you as you walk along Redwood Creek, which flows from Mt. Tamalpais nearby.

You will have approximately 1.5 hours in Muir Woods to do what you like, hike the trails that are in and around the Monument, sit and reflect, check out the Visitors Center. From easy to strenuous the sights, sounds, and smells are sure to remind the visitor what the woods are all about, and there is something for everybody.

Regrouping again a bit before noon, we make for the Wine Country stopping for a short break in the historic town square of Sonoma and a chance to visit the Sonoma Jack Cheese Factory for a tasting.

After lunch we visit 3-4 wineries for tasting in the world class Sonoma wine regions. You will have a chance, if you are over 21, to taste a wide variety of whites, reds, and dessert wines, whatever is your fancy at such places as Viansa, Cline, Homewood and Benziger Family Wineries.

 

During the tour you will see the beautiful valleys that have been supplying California and now the world with fantastic wines for over 60 years. The scenery of the rolling hills and the rows of wine grapes will amaze you as well as provide great snapshots. To conclude late in the day we head back to San Francisco passing by the seaside tour of Sausalito returning you to your lodging between 6:00 and 6:30pm.
