There are no shortage of amazing wineries, restaurants, and more in wine country! The Napa region is pretty vast, but is generally 45 minutes-1 hour 30 minutes from the hotel in Walnut Creek, depending on where you decide to go. The link above is great for finding places to go for varying budgets!
The list goes on and on for awesome things to see and do in San Francisco. There's a BART station right next to the Embassy Suites Walnut Creek with trains that will get you to the city in about 40 minutes! Also accessible by car and ferry, of course. Some fun and/or touristy things to do (to name a few): - Alcatraz Island: https://www.alcatrazislandtickets.com/ - See the SF Giants at Oracle Park: https://www.mlb.com/giants - Enjoy some amazing food, like Mission Burritos or Chinatown's best with a food tour: https://sidewalkfoodtours.com/san-francisco/ - See where we got engaged (and the Golden Gate Bridge): https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/landsend.htm - Visit Golden Gate Park: https://sfrecpark.org/770/Golden-Gate-Park & more!
Get a taste of Northern California nature at Muir Woods National Monument. It's a little over an hour from the wedding hotels in Walnut Creek. Note: Parking reservations are required!
About an hour and a half from Walnut Creek, Point Reyes is another beautiful piece of Northern California worth visiting.
This is where we live! Lots of fun stuff to do in Alameda, good breweries like Almanac (https://almanacbeer.com/), hit the beach (https://www.ebparks.org/parks/crown-beach) or just meet up with us somewhere :)
