Valentine’s Day Prelude: Romantic Escapes in Mill Valley’s Enchanting Woods and Wineries

Embrace the romance of Mill Valley with a Valentine’s Day prelude, exploring the majestic redwoods and indulging in the finest wines of Napa and Sonoma. Despite the overcast skies and chance of rain, the allure of nature and the warmth of wine country create an unforgettable escape.

A Stroll Through Nature’s Majesty

As the sun peeks through the dense canopy of towering redwoods, the Muir Woods National Monument beckons lovers to wander hand in hand through its serene paths. The air is crisp, carrying the earthy scent of ancient trees and the gentle rustle of leaves. Here, amidst the grandeur of nature, time seems to stand still, offering a perfect prelude to Valentine’s Day.

Begin your romantic escape with the Muir Woods and Wine Country Tour, available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both February 1st and 2nd. This enchanting journey takes you across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, through the scenic Marin Headlands, and into the heart of the redwoods. Choose a leisurely stroll along the flat boardwalk or challenge yourselves on the steeper trails, where the whispers of the forest create a symphony of tranquility.

A Taste of Romance in Sausalito
