Extranomical Tours · San Francisco

Redwoods in the morning, wine by afternoon

An eleven-hour day from your San Francisco hotel: an hour among the Muir Woods redwoods, a tasting at one Napa Valley winery and two at family wineries in the Sonoma Valley. Pick it when you have one free day and want trees and wine both.

Muir Woods Redwoods & Wine Country Day

About this experience

Extranomical collects you from one of eleven listed San Francisco hotels between 7:40 and 8:15 a.m. and drops you at the same spot in the evening. The morning goes north over the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods National Monument, with an hour among the old-growth redwoods and the entry fee covered.

Then it's wine. The listing promises a hand-picked flight at one Napa Valley winery and tastings at two family-owned wineries in the Sonoma Valley, three in all, with a lunch break on Sonoma Plaza in between. The wineries aren't named. You ride a mid-size air-conditioned bus with Wi-Fi, and audio guides cover eight languages.

Two things to know. It's a long day, eleven hours, and a good chunk of it is driving. And the title says lunch, but the listing only clearly offers an optional food and wine pairing upgrade at the plaza and says children's lunch is a la carte, so ask what adult lunch includes before you book. Gratuities are included, which is rare.

  • An hour in Muir Woods, entry fee included
  • Three tastings: one Napa winery, two in the Sonoma Valley
  • Lunch break on Sonoma Plaza
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off in San Francisco
  • Gratuities included
