If you visit the Wine Country, it goes without saying that you’ll probably drop by a winery for a Pinot Noir, Cabernet, or sparkling-wine tasting?maybe even play winemaker for a day or learn a little about how to pair food and wine. In this list of great experiences, we’ve got suggestions for all of these, but don’t stop there: hop on a bike, ride in a balloon, hike in the redwoods, ogle the art, and by all means splurge on a fancy meal or a luxurious spa treatment. (If you need to cleanse your palate, there are always breweries and distilleries that offer tastings.) If you partake of even a few of these adventures, you’re sure to have a memorable time and be among the high percentage of Wine Country visitors who declare themselves very likely to return. When you do, you can experience the ones you missed the first time around.
