8 days in San Francisco Itinerary

San Francisco is a top holiday destination featuring scenic beauty and great ethnic and cultural diversity.

Get out of town with these interesting San Francisco side-trips: St. Helena (V. Sattui Winery & Pride Mountain Vineyards) and B Cellars Vineyards and Winery (in Oakville). Dedicate the 12th (Tue) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's much more to do: don't miss a visit to Golden Gate Bridge, step off the mainland to explore Alcatraz Island, walk around Golden Gate Park, and browse the different shops at Ferry Building Marketplace.
