Attractions & Activities in the Napa Valley

As the ideal destination for your northern California luxury vacation, Gerstle Park Inn is conveniently situated for exploring Napa and Sonoma wine country and the San Francisco Bay area. Marin County is home to a number of wonderful activities and attractions for you to enjoy during your stay.

Spend your days hiking and biking while taking in the beautiful scenery in Muir Woods and on Mount Tamalpais. Enjoy watersports and relaxing on the beaches of the Point Reyes Seashore area.
