availability for Muir Woods and Wine Country

Tour type: Bus Tour

Cities: San Francisco

Tour operator: Incredible Adventures - San Francisco, USA

Our journey begins with picking you up from your lodging between 8:00 and 9:00 am and heading North across the Golden Gate Bridge offering great views of San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the Marin Headlands, and Fisherman's Wharf. 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. The panoramic views of the Bay and Pacific Ocean are a contrast to the intense dense forests that thrive in the foggy environment around San Francisco Bay. With map and guide in hand, you’ll have 1-1.5 hours to do what you like… an easy hike of Muir Woods National Monument trails. President Theodore Roosevelt set this small redwood grove aside in 1908 as a federally protected area. You will see some of the tallest trees on earth. This forest is a small reminder that nearly all of California’s North Coast was covered with these great trees. Today, this is one of a handful of groves that have never been logged. The Coastal Redwoods tower above as you walk along Redwood Creek. From easy to strenuous, ocean vistas to deep woods, the sights, sounds, and smells are sure to reconnect you with a natural world where there is something for everyone. Regrouping again a bit before noon, we travel to the wine country stopping for a short lunch break. Afterward we take in a few wineries for tasting in the famous Sonoma Valley. Savor (if you are over 21) a variety of white, red, and dessert wines at the Larson Family, Homewood, Cline Cellars, and the Benziger Family wineries among others. Also, you can experience some of California’s tastiest cheeses at the Sonoma Jack Cheese Factory in downtown Sonoma. You’ll see the beautiful valleys that have supplied California and the world with fantastic wine for over 60 years. The landscape of rolling hills with row upon row of wine grapes is astonishing and provides great backgrounds for memorable snapshots. If you haven’t already experienced the awe-inspiring view of San Francisco from the Marin Headlands in the morning, it’s just as great in the late afternoon as you return to San Francisco. An ‘Incredible’ day in the woods and wine country is a great segway to a great San Francisco night on the town. We return you to your lodging between 5:30-6:30 pm. www.incadventures.com INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES CANCELLATION POLICY # Minimum 20% fee charged for any cancellations once the tour is booked. # Cancellations less than 72 hours before trip departure are charged 30% of the total price. # Cancellations less than 24 hours before trip departure are charged 50% of the total price. # Cancellations less than 12 hours before trip departure and No-Shows are charged 100%. # No-Shows are not entitled to any refund and so are responsible for the full amount (100%) of the trip price.
