Napa and Sonoma Day Trip
San Francisco, Pacific Coast Highway
About This Activity
Napa and Sonoma valleys, about an hour north of San Francisco, produce some of the finest wines in the world. Napa is polished and upscale with renowned wineries like Robert Mondavi and Opus One. Sonoma is more laid-back with smaller, family-run vineyards. Visit charming towns like Yountville (home to French Laundry), St. Helena, and Healdsburg. Tasting fees run $25-75 per winery. Drive yourself, join a guided tour, or take the scenic route through the Golden Gate.
Seasonal note: Year-round; harvest (Sep-Oct) is peak season; spring mustard blooms are beautiful
