Small groups.  Big Trees.

Our tour begins at Muir Woods, an old-growth Redwood forest that contains some of the tallest trees on the planet. These 1500-year old beauties soar nearly 300 feet over the valley floor. We will spend over an hour walking down paths that have been growing for centuries.

The day continues at wineries in Sonoma County. We go to a typical small Sonoma-style boutique winery for a taste of wines you will rarely find outside of Northern California This is followed by a visit to historic Sonoma Square where you will have time for lunch and a chance to explore some of the wine tasting rooms, see the historic Mission San Francisco Solano, or experience olive oil or chocolate tasting. Then we move onto a grand tasting room and have a private tour of the caves and learn about winemaking.

Tasting fees are included in the ticket price.

Muir Woods National Monument

The Giant Coastal Redwoods trees can be found only in a narrow, cool coastal belt from Monterey to the Oregon border.

Just north of the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the great preserved forests of of these amazing trees. They are 400 to 800 years old and their height is up to 250 feet. The one-mile trail is very flat and loops through the grove. The National Monument was established in 1908 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places one hundred years later, in 2008.
