Rise for an early morning hike or to catch breakfast at the Hotel. Then, we'll get on our way to the renowned wine-making regions of Napa and Sonoma Valleys. On our way, we'll stop for a stroll on 19th-century wooden sidewalks of the gold rush town of Groveland. Then we will move to Napa Valley. Our first stop will be at Oakville Grocery, the perfect place to pick some freshly-prepared picnic items. Then, on to our first winery where you'll enjoy a friendly wine country welcome, breath-taking scenery, and wines selected exclusively for us by the winemaker. By special arrangement, our second winery visit will be at a small family-owned winery in Sonoma Valley where you will be treated to an in-depth tour of the winemaking process. Be ready to add to your wine cellar - these wines not available in retail stores. After the winery tours, here's a nice option: board the Napa Valley Wine Train's lovingly restored glass-domed Pullman cars to experience the golden age of rail travel. We've also arranged a gourmet food and wine pairing option. At the end of a fabulous day, retire to the comfort of your Sonoma Valley suite.

We'll make a leisurely start on day three on our way to Point Reyes National Seashore. We will also visit Point Reyes lighthouse and the Cypress tunnel of trees! You'll get a chance to sample many of these local treats when the entire group is treated to a departure lunch featuring locally sourced ingredients. Then we will move to Muir Woods National Monument and take photos under the northern footing of the Golden Gate Bridge. Our return across the iconic San Francisco landmark will be as the sun is approaching the restless Pacific Ocean. We'll arrange for an evening of dining and dancing while cruising on San Francisco Bay.
