Things to Do

San Francisco

Reach out to us for our fave spots!

Muir Wood National Monument

Mill Valley, CA 94941

Scenic park with giant redwoods, hiking trails, and a visitors center. While you’re there, check out Muir Beach as well! 24mi from the venue

Rams Gate Winery

28700 Arnold Dr, Sonoma, CA 95476

Gorgeous Sonoma winery just 7mi from the wedding venue! I suggest making a reservation if you’d like to do a tasting here. You can also grab a bottle and picnic out back. Beautiful vineyards, grass and a pond. We are planning to visit this winery in addition to Viansa and more local Sonoma wineries on Saturday after the wedding. All are welcome!

Sausalito

Sausalito, CA 94965

Waterfront town with shops, restaurants and views of San Francisco. 20mi from the venue toward SF

Ocean Beach

San Francisco, CA 94116, USA

This is Colin's favorite spot in the city. Chillaxing, beach volleyball, bonfires, you can do it all here! But watch out, the water is cold cold.

Chubby Noodle North Beach

570 Green Street off, Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133, USA

Viansa Winery

25200 Arnold Dr, Sonoma, CA 95476

800-995-4740

Viansa is another one of the closest wineries to our wedding venue. Only about 15 mins away with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the vineyards. We would love to continue the party with all of you at Viansa and Rams Gate winery the Saturday after our wedding! I’ll be looking into reservations. Reach out to Alicia for more details.

Saturday Festivities

Due to the number of people that are interested in wine tasting, we were unable to make any large group reservations. Most wineries require reservations to taste, especially due to Covid restrictions and limited staff. Most do not allow large groups without booking a group event. Please plan on making your own reservation if you want to be sure to taste at a particular winery.

There are a TON of wineries, so I would think that everyone will be able to find one or two to taste at. The Hwy 12 corridor going North is really pretty, too.

Other ideas include:

Sonoma Plaza for lunch & window shopping

Multiple Coastal locations to visit Stinson Beach, Bodega Bay, Marin Headlands

Sonoma Train Town for those with kids

Sonoma State Historic Park for those who want culture

Hanson Sonoma Distillery for those who like vodka

Sonoma Springs Brewing

Lagunitas Brewing Company

Bartholomew Park
