Had such a great day with my besties on this trip. There was something for everyone: cute coffee shops, beautiful hikes, and a multitude of wineries. Would recommend this trip, and Guess Where Trips, to anyone who wants a unique experience.

I live in the area and was familiar with a few of the stops, but also discovered a few new amazing hidden gems! We had a great time :)
