If you are not a wine connoisseur, there are other things to explore and do. The Metropolitan areas of San Francisco and Oakland are just under an hour away, giving access to famous historic sites, world-class fine dining, the arts, entertainment and night life, and of course professional sports (NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, MLB’s San Francisco Giants and Oakland As, and NBA’s Golden State Warriors).
