Wine Country

Our wine tour took us out of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge to an area that looks very much like McLaren Vale - the golden rolling hills and gum trees everywhere. We visited 3 wineries - Jacuzzi (- yes, they are the family that invented the jacuzzi), Clines (which make a very nice Zinfandel), and Madonna (whose tasting sample was such, that if you inhaled the smell of the wine too much, the sample was gone!).


The lovely buildings at Jacuzzi Winery

The following day we did another walk through Chinatown before checking out of the hotel and shifting to the hotel at Fisherman's Wharf, ready for the start of the tour.
The day cleared so we sat out on one of the piers and watched the world go by!
