REGIONAL WINES
Taste wines from mountain terrains and cooled by ocean
breezes in one of California’s oldest wine regions
There are over 200 vintners that make up the Santa Cruz Mountain wine
appellation with roots that date back to the 1800s. The region spans from
Mt. Madonna in the south to Half Moon Bay in the north. The mountain
terrain, marine influences and varied micro-climates create the finest
conditions for growing grapes that produce Cabernet, Zinfandel, Pinot
Noir, and Chardonnay.
Meet and chat with the wine makers of many family owned vineyards. For
more information on tours, tastings, and special events visit, Santa Cruz
Mountain Wineries (scmwa.com) or the wineries of Santa Clara Valley
(santaclarawines.com).

REGIONAL DISCOVERY DAY TRIPS
FAMILY FUN
OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
Santa Cruz and Monterey
Natures Playground
Head to the coast with a quick drive on Highway 17 into Santa Cruz, or catch the train
at Roaring Camp Railroad and enjoy a day of fun in the sun as the 1880’s locomotive
travels through magnificent redwood groves en route to the Santa Cruz Beach
Boardwalk. Catch a ride on the Giant Dipper, a classic wooden roller coaster, and don’t
forget a swimsuit for a dip in the ocean.
Adrenaline junkies and outdoor enthusiasts will love the abundance of activities in
Northern California’s backyard.
Venture farther down to coast on Highway 1 and visit Monterey to experience life
underwater at the Monterey Bay Aquarium with up-close views of jellyfish, sea otters,
penguins, sharks and other creatures of the deep. Afterwards stroll through Cannery
Row for classic dining options and charming boutique shops.
Take a surfing safari in Santa Cruz and “hang ten” while riding the waves. Arrange for
lessons at Cowell’s Beach Surf Shop, near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, or skip the
lesson and paddle out to local surf spots like The Hook, Steamers Lane and Pleasure
Point for the area’s best waves.
Further inland, soar through the canopies atop towering redwood trees on an
exhilarating zip line at Mount Hermon Adventures, or stay grounded with a hike through
miles of pristine trails in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Wilder Ranch State Park and
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park.
HIPSTER URBANITE
GRAPES GALORE
San Francisco
Santa Clara Valley, Tri-Valley, Napa Valley
Hop on the train and head north to San Francisco for a day of fashion, food and art.
Jump start the morning with coffee at Blue Bottle Coffee in the Ferry Building and
continue along the Embarcadero for magnificent views, active parks and trendy
shops. Bring a camera for photo-ops among the colorful streets of Chinatown, power
shop through Union Square, or head to North Beach (SF’s Little Italy) to relive the
beatnik era.
Northern California’s vast wine region offers sips at every stop. Discover nearby
vineyards in the Santa Clara Valley, Tri-Valley and Napa Valley.
No visit to “The City” is complete without a cable car ride to Fishermen’s Wharf for
fresh seafood and fun tourist attractions; and while the Flower Power movement has
faded, Haight-Ashbury, the counter-culture capital of the world, remains an iconic
place to visit.
South of San Jose on Highway 101, find over 20 tasting rooms and vineyards in
California’s first premium wine production region scattered throughout the towns of
Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill. Take a 45 minute drive Northeast off Highway 580
and 680 for a trip to over 50 wineries in the Livermore Tri-Valley wine country, where
nearly 80% of California Chardonnay vines trace their genetic roots. And well worth the
hour and a half drive, Napa Valley is home to over 450 wineries specializing in
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel.
