What to Expect:
Our trip begins in historic Sonoma Valley, the Valley of the Moon, and the Sonoma Mission Inn where we begin to discover the hidden secrets of the California Wine Country. While in Sonoma, we'll hike to ridge-top, 360-degree views of the entire Napa and Sonoma Valleys as well as explore Beauty Ranch, the novelist Jack London's former estate. Then it's on to Calistoga, a picturesque hamlet known for its hot springs in the heart of Napa Valley where we'll spend three days as guests at a family winery/inn. A hike to an old mining settlement will lead us up one of the highest peaks in the area as well as through lush forests. Each hike on this tour is dramatically different from the last, offering an overview of the terrain and flora in the area. In addition to hiking, we'll have wine-tasting opportunities at local wineries and enjoy the first-class spa facilities at our inns.
