While
staying at the Washington Square Inn, you simply must visit some of
the vineyards in the famed California wine country! Just a short drive
and you will find yourself amidst many of the most famous wineries
in the world. California's wines account for over 90% of the
production in North America, making it the world's fourth largest
producer. Visit the Napa Valley and Sonoma vineyards to experience
both mass production facilities and the smaller boutique wineries
that have become favorites of many San Francisco locals.
The Napa Valley wine region is most distinguished by its'
extraordinary range of appellations and wine styles, which range
from rich red wines with soft tannins and intense fruit, to spicy
zinfandels and rich creamy chardonnays.
The Sonoma Wine Region is north of San Francisco and to the west of
the Napa Valley, close to the Pacific coast. Larger geographically
than the Napa Valley, Sonoma is overall more quiet and has smaller
wineries than Napa. The cooler climate with offshore breezes makes
it ideal for growing more delicate grape varieties like Pinot Noir.
Once you cross the famed Golden Gate Bridge into the spectacular
rolling hills populated with these historic and impressive
destinations, the best tasting wines and most sought out vineyards
are at your fingertips. Enjoy a tasting at any of the wineries and
become a connoisseur of the most premium wines in the country. The
tours are scenic, fun and informative entertainment to add to the
memories of your San Francisco vacation.
After your day spent touring California’s vineyards and wineries and tasting their wares, return to the unique level of comfort you’ll experience at the Washington Square Inn. Our goal is to provide our guests with contemporary luxury in a European-style atmosphere. Enjoy gorgeous bed and breakfast lodging, a variety of excellent amenities and exemplary service at the Inn.
