About This Tour
The adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Downtown San Francisco or Fisherman’s Wharf. After a scenic ride across the Golden Gate Bridge, we stop at the Lone Sailor Vista Point to capture sweeping photos of the Bay, bridge, and skyline.
Next, we arrive at Muir Woods National Monument, home to the tallest trees on Earth. Enjoy over an hour strolling along shaded trails, wooden boardwalks, and listening to the redwood creek that flows through the forest. Some of these ancient giants are over 1,200 years old, creating a serene and awe-inspiring experience.
Our journey continues to Sausalito, where you’ll have one hour to explore its Mediterranean-style waterfront, boutique shops, art galleries, and marina views. Many travelers say it feels like stepping into the Amalfi Coast.
From Sausalito, we head north into Sonoma Valley, California’s birthplace of wine. Here you will visit two carefully selected wineries to sample unique varietals — from bright Sauvignon Blancs and crisp Chardonnays to elegant Pinot Noirs and bold Cabernets. Between tastings, we stop at the historic Sonoma Plaza, where you can enjoy lunch (not included) at one of its many restaurants and explore local shops and galleries.
After a relaxing afternoon of wine, nature, and history, we return to San Francisco in the early evening.

Combo Tour Muir Woods & Sausalito + Half-Day Wine Country - FAQ
Want to combine redwoods, waterfront charm, and Sonoma wine tasting in one day? Here is what to expect, how the timing works, and what is included.
Plan on a full day. Most departures start in the morning with hotel pickup in San Francisco and return in the early evening. Exact timing can vary with traffic, park entry flow, and tasting room pacing, but the itinerary is designed to fit Muir Woods, Sausalito, and two wine tastings comfortably in one day.
The day usually begins with a scenic drive across the Golden Gate Bridge and a quick photo stop at Vista Point. After that, you spend time in Muir Woods, then enjoy free time in Sausalito, and later continue to Sonoma Valley for wine tasting.
Many dates include a short handoff in Sausalito where a guide meets you to continue the Wine Country portion, so your day stays smooth and on schedule.
If your booking includes Muir Woods entry (as listed on the tour page/confirmation), you do not need to secure a separate reservation. We recommend reviewing your voucher for the final inclusion details for your date, since park requirements can vary by timing and season.
Most guests spend a little over an hour in Muir Woods. The main boardwalk and wider paths are generally easy, mostly flat, and great for first-time visitors. You can keep it relaxed on the main loop or take a slightly longer walk if you want more of the forest.
Comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended, especially if you plan to explore beyond the main grove.
Sausalito is typically a one-hour stop, which is perfect for a waterfront stroll, coffee, quick bites, boutique browsing, and marina views. If you want to maximize your time, ask your guide where the closest spots are for photos, restrooms, and fast lunch options.
The Wine Country portion includes visits to two Sonoma Valley wineries, with standard tastings included. Any extra pours, bottles, or personal purchases are optional and at your own expense.
This is a great option if you want a curated taste of Sonoma without committing to a full day dedicated only to wineries.
Lunch is not included. The itinerary typically builds in a lunch break around historic Sonoma Plaza, so you can choose what fits your style and timing. It is an easy spot for casual cafes, sit-down restaurants, and quick grab-and-go options between tastings.
Pickup is typically offered from selected locations in Downtown San Francisco and Fisherman’s Wharf. Your exact pickup time and meeting point are confirmed in your booking details. Drop off is usually back in the same general area where you started.
Yes, guests under 21 can join for the sightseeing portions and enjoy the scenery, Sausalito, and Sonoma Plaza. However, by California law, they cannot participate in wine tastings. Bring a valid photo ID if you plan to taste.
Dress in layers. Muir Woods can feel cool and damp, while Sausalito and Sonoma Valley are often warmer and sunnier. Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, and consider sunscreen and sunglasses for the afternoon.
Bring a photo ID, a light jacket, a phone charger, and a small day bag. If you are sensitive to motion, consider motion sickness remedies for the scenic drives.
The price shown on the page is $254 per adult, $230 for seniors, and $169 for kids. Since seasonal promos and availability can affect pricing, always confirm the final total during checkout for your selected date.
Yes. If you prefer to split the day into separate experiences, you can book the individual tours, like the Muir Woods & Sausalito Tour and the Half Day Wine Country Tour. If you want a longer day focused on more tastings, consider our Full Day Vintage Wine Country Tour.
