After Muir Woods, the tour travels to Napa Valley for a vineyard tour and wine tasting at Ru Vango Winery. Guests sample three to four wines, including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while enjoying views of the vineyards and onsite artwork.

The second is Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, a Tuscan-style estate offering Italian-style wines and a complimentary olive oil tasting. Tastings at all three wineries are included, along with guided tours led by a local wine expert.
