We've partnered with quality wineries, which offer the best California Wine Country experience for our clientele. The wineries we visit on our Muir Woods and Wine Country tour provide complimentary wine tasting for our groups. We visit a range of wineries that are boutique and family-owned to large and grand, but they must have a friendly atmosphere, and offer beautiful scenery, quality wines and good value. Occasionally a winery on our tour may be closed for a private event, so our tour guides may change the itinerary on the day of the trip.
Our partner wineries for the Muir Woods and Wine Country tour include Gloria Ferrer, Madonna Estate & Cline Cellars. Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards is a renowned sparking wine house, where an inviting sun-drenched terrace showcases the sweeping estate vineyard views. Madonna Estate, located in Napa's Carneros appellation, has been in production for over 80 years and hand-crafts a bevy of organic wines from Pinot Grigio and Cabernet Sauvignon to Riesling and Dolcetto. Cline Cellars is a quaint, boutique winery nestled in the Carneros region of Sonoma. They offer delicious Rhone varietal wines and classic California Wine Country style. Roche Winery's tasting room sits a stone's throw from the Sonoma Plaza lunch stop and offers guests tastings of small-batch, premium wine.
Discover our Redwoods & Wine Country Tour - We maximize the time you spend in Muir Woods National Monument and allow guests to enjoy the trails before the crowds. Explore the Coastal Redwood Sequoia groves in Muir Woods, home to the tallest tree species in the world. You'll spend an hour enjoying California's native flora and fauna, taking in giant ferns, moss-lined creeks, fresh bay leaf scented air from the many Laurel trees and squirrels, blue jays and deer if you're lucky.
A brief drive North and you'll find yourself in California's renowned Wine Country. Spend a relaxing afternoon wine tasting, strolling the vineyards and learning about the practice of winemaking. Our Wine Country tour makes 4 tasting stops: 3 wineries and 1 at the historic Sonoma or Healdsburg Plaza spending 45 minutes to 1 hour at each location. We are the only Muir Woods and Wine Country tour that visits both Napa Valley & Sonoma wineries! All our wine tasting is complimentary and you'll be able to taste a wide variety of amazing wines. The Wine Country plaza stop lasts a couple hours, so you'll have time to grab a bite to eat and visit a few more tasting rooms located around the plaza. We'll provide you with a map of the plaza and must-see local shops and tasting rooms to maximize your time.
As a bonus, you have the option to be dropped off at the picturesque seaside town of Sausalito, where you can browse the gift shops or stroll the waterfront and take the ferry (fare not included) back to San Francisco. Otherwise, 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, San Francisco bay and city skyline, Alcatraz and the Bay Bridge.
