An Autumn Journey through California Wine Country

Two itineraries are offered for enjoying wine country in the fall. "Vintner's Choice" is an ideal trip for learning about both food and wine. "Culture of the Vine" is wine-focused, with tastings and educational chats with winemakers along the way. Both itineraries kick off at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, and the chance to schedule an additional day to explore that bustling city in more detail can easily be arranged.

No matter which itinerary, the focus of this Cruise West voyage is on exploring the region rather than viewing it from the distance of the ship. An added bonus of Cruise West's trademark small ship for this specific tour is that it keeps driving in this congested region to a minimum.

Another distinguishing characteristics of Cruise West's tours is their desire to embrace spontaneity and seize new experiences - hot air balloon rides, inflatable boat rides, or an olive grove tour - wherever or whenever they might occur.

Cruise West trips have a casual dress code, inviting atmosphere, friendly crew, and a dining schedule dictated by the day's events, so everyone will feel at home here. And guests onboard are usually open to making friends along the way. All in all, it's a pleasant way to explore the wine country.
