“A great wine education class. I was amazed by the instructor's wealth of knowledge, the
great wines to taste and talk about, and the small, intimate class size. A fun way to learn a lot
about wine.”
—Will, Ritchie Creek Vineyards
Wine Country Drive Suggestions
One of the great advantages of the San Francisco Bay Area is its proximity to many extraordinary wine producing districts. Visiting any one of them, without the aid of friends who live locally, pretty much requires renting a car. And it can't be done in half a day. But with one to four days of free time it can be a tremendously relaxing and memorable experience. You'll dine out back home on those stories for months. A couple of tips should enhance your enjoyment significantly.
- Ensenada ∼ 4 to 5 days
- Livermore & East Bay ∼ day trip
- Los Angeles to San Francisco ∼ 3 to 4 days
- Mendocino ∼ 2 to 4 days
- Napa ∼ 1 to 4 days
- Santa Cruz Mtns and Santa Clara ∼ 1 to 2 days
- Sierra Foothills ∼ 2 to 5 days
- Sonoma ∼ 1 to 4 days
- South Coast, Mexico ∼ 1 to 3 days
