Robert Mondavi is one of my favorite wines. I had the opportunity to visit the Winery, and became a club member. I can get great Mondavi wines much cheaper directly. The grounds are pristen and they do a good job on the tour talking about how they make wines and how different regions and soils change tastes. If you start early enough in the morning you can leave San Francisco, drive through Napa and see a few fantastic winneries. Then continue up the road to Highway 101 and double back towards Santa. Just before the Golden Gate Bridge you can exit East Blithedale Ave and make your way to Mir Wood to see the Giant Redwoods. Made for a great day trip from SF.
