By car, but returning your car to the San Francisco airport is tricky. You really need to watch for the signs and make sure you take the correct exit.

Country estate charm abounds at the Harvest Inn. Guest room cottages are nestled throughout 8 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. Each guest room and suite has its unique personality, with views overlooking Whitehall Lane Winery's 14-acre vineyard or lushly landscaped gardens. The views were breathtaking.

The wine tasting was great! The grounds at the wineries were fabulous--so pretty, with perfect gardens. The background information that you can learn about a winery is amazing. Take a tour--it's worth every penny.

There are MANY wineries to stop at on the way to CIA. I suggest stopping at the smaller wineries. There are great stories of families who own the smaller wineries and how they got where they are today.
