Reviews of our treks from respected travel and vacation media.

“We were thrilled to discover that many outfitters share our vision that travel should ultimately not be acquisitive and superficial but connect us more deeply to the planet and to the people in it,” notes Norie Quintos, senior editor at National Geographic Traveler magazine. “The other wonderful thing we discovered is that one doesn’t necessarily have to rough it to travel authentically and sustainably.”
"Wine Country Trekking has introduced Euro-style village-to-village hiking to the New World. From San Francisco, trek to Sausalito, Muir Woods, Point Reyes, Tomales Bay, and on to Sonoma. Bring your walking shoes and nose for wine and the outfitter does the rest, including arranging private tastings and tours at wine estates, gourmet picnics, kayaking, and stays at luxury inns along the way."

“Head to California for a truly special vineyard tour with Wine Country Trekking. Not only will you get to sample antioxidant-packed wines and delicious local foods, but you'll also walk off those extra vacation calories as you hike your way through the gorgeous hills of Sonoma. Take in the scenery of the private estate wineries by day, and rest your feet in first-class lodging by night.”

A Wild Ramble, Near the Golden Gate |
“Pierce and Carmen Morris were on a northward walk markedly better organized than our own: having rambled throughout Europe, they had entrusted a local company [Wine Country Trekking] to plan their trip.”

Taking a page from inn-to-inn hiking vacations in Europe, Wine Country Trekking runs independent walking tours in the San Francisco Bay area... The forays make the most of city promenades, coastal paths, mountain trails and village lanes...
