7 days in San Rafael Itinerary

Intended as a place of healing, San Rafael has its origins as a mission for the native people who resided in villages nearby.

Venture out of the city with trips to Benziger Family Winery (in Glen Ellen) and Sonoma (Wine Tours & Tastings, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards, &more). There's lots more to do: admire the majestic nature at China Camp State Park, look for all kinds of wild species at Marin Headlands, take in the waterfront at Sausalito Boardwalk, and get great views at Vista Point.
