Day 1: Arrival and Welcome to Sonoma
Arrive Thursday afternoon and settle into the beauty of wine country. We will spend the evening wandering through downtown Sonoma, exploring local shops, and sharing a relaxed group dinner to kick off the weekend and get to know one another.

Day 2: Private Food and Wine Tour Experience
This day is all about indulgence and flavor. We will enjoy a private, curated food and wine experience designed for our group.

At Kendall Jackson Wine Estate and Gardens, you will experience a multi course wine and food pairing featuring small production wines and seasonal dishes crafted by their executive chef. You will also have time to stroll through the estate gardens, where many of the ingredients are grown.

From there, we continue to La Crema Estate in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Set inside a historic barn, you will enjoy a guided tasting focused on their signature Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays while learning more about the art of winemaking. This is a day of slowing down, savoring each bite and sip, and truly experiencing Sonoma through its flavors.

Day 3: Redwoods and Coastline Exploration
We shift into a more nature focused day with a visit to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve. Walking beneath these towering, ancient trees is a grounding and awe inspiring experience.

From there, we will explore Sonoma Coast State Park, taking in sweeping ocean views, fresh coastal air, and the beauty of Northern California’s rugged shoreline. This day is about balance. Movement, stillness, and reconnecting with nature.

Day 4: Departure
Enjoy a slow morning before heading home, feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to the experience and the women you shared it with.

Yes, we know this part might seem a bit tedious, but it’s important! We kindly ask that everyone who registers for a trip visits the FAQs and Policy page on our website. If you sign up for a trip without reviewing this information, it’s your responsibility. There’s a wealth of valuable information there that could influence your decision. Please make sure to check out all the FAQs and Policies on our website before signing up for a trip with us. Thank you!

We want to ensure that every trip with Her Wilderness is enjoyable and memorable, but we acknowledge that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Mother Nature has a significant impact on our outdoor adventures, so we encourage you to approach each trip with a positive attitude and a "go with the flow" mindset. If this feels unreasonable to you, we kindly ask that you reconsider registering for our events. Weather can be unpredictable, affecting activities like hiking, hunting, and fishing, and our top priority is always your safety. For instance, if your trip is focused on duck hunting but our guide believes a goose hunt is more feasible, we will follow their expert recommendation. If this kind of flexibility is not something you're comfortable with, we encourage you to think twice about joining us. We expect all participants to maintain a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances. Many of our trips have faced changes, cancellations, or rescheduling, yet the understanding and adaptability of the group have made all the difference that still allows for an incredible experience! We take pride in creating fun experiences, even in challenging situations. Please be aware that our trips may involve sharing accommodations with others, unpredictable weather that could impact planned activities, limited bathroom facilities for larger groups, and the possibility of not harvesting the specific animal you hoped for. These are real scenarios that can arise, and while we’ll do our best to minimize issues, they can happen. We strive to maintain a drama-free and stress-free environment. If any participant brings negativity or drama, they will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be allowed to return. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and valued, so we ask for your cooperation in keeping a cool, calm, and collected attitude throughout the trip. We truly appreciate each of our customers and are committed to providing the best possible experience for all participants. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to creating unforgettable memories together!
