Tiburon is a real nice small town just accross SF. If you can rent a sailboat, going to Tiburon is a delight. Otherwise just hop on the ferry and to go check out Tiburon. This is especially a good idea on days when SF is chilly and foggy. Tiburon will be sunny for sure! Good places to hang out at Tiburon is Guaymas, the Mexican restaurant, and Sams, another open bar / restaurant type of place where you can get good food or just hang out sipping Margaritas. Check out their website for ferry schedules and other useful info.

Napa and Sonoma are perfect destinations for a weekend getaway. They are also close enough (about an hour to SF) so that you can just get out of the city for a day... The weather is almost always nice so you'll most probably have a great time in any of these locations. Some good wine definitely helps too! I prefer Sonoma over Napa because it's not so crowded, less touristy and therefore wineries don't even charge for wine tasting. I would suggest buying some groceries at Oakville or Sonoma town and then sitting down at one of the winery's picnic area. Which winery to go to? Just get a map from the visitor's bureau and check out the wineries at random. There are some famous ones that everyone go to, but I can assure you you'll come across some very nice wineries and really good wine if you just check them out at random. but if you definitely need some names, I would suggest Domaine Chandon in Napa and Chateau St. Jean in Sonoma. Especially Chateau St. Jean has a nice picnic area. If you are curious about wine making, Mondavi winery in Napa has a really good tour. By the way, start your day early, most of the wineries close by 5 pm...

Ok I know this is a long shot but one of the best ways to experience the wine county and the vicinity is to fly over it. I am lucky enough to have a friend who is a pilot so I can tell you firsthand that this is a great thing to do! You can rent a small plane from the Petaluma airport (which is about an hour north of SF) and fly over Napa, Sonoma, Point Reyes etc... Check out more pics in the travelogue.
