Our Price: from $79 (per person, based on double occupancy) Available: Daily Depart from: San Fransico Highlights:  A tour that combines a Wine Country tour with a Muir Woods tour to see the Redwood Sequoia trees all in one day. We also offer wine tours from San Francisco for wine lovers. These wine country tours visit spectacular lesser known wineries in the Napa and Sonoma wine country.

Day 1 :

Sonoma is one of California's premier wine making regions yet it has remained relatively untouched by tourists compared to its more popular neighbor, Napa Valley (only 5 miles apart). It is said that Sonoma Valley gets its name from the Miwok Native American Indians. The Miwok named it the valley or "many moons" while on their walk through the Sonoma and the Mayacama mountains the moon was said to raise seven times.
