Why: This isTom's biz; not hobby. He'll supply water, energy bars, occ. wine tasting

A unique combination of wine vitaculture, physical fitness, art, and nature appreciation.

Come join the fun of exploring seldom visited and little known places of interest, such as, caves, hidden lakes and waterfalls, isolated beaches, enchanted forest trails, art, architecture and wineries off the beaten tourist path.

After a days hike, soothe your palate while sampling delicious wine at an authentic medieval Tuscan style castle...

Or...enjoy a wine picnic on a jade lake under a Japanese gazebo....

Or...adventure on a morning art and wine tour at a unique lakeside vineyard and museum....

Or...treat yourself to a special nature outing on a number of private gated land trusts, preserves, ranches, and bird sanctuaries....

Or...grab your flashlight and come along on a mountain-to-beach full moon picnic hike...

...from mountains to beaches...and plenty of places in between...new unique adventures await you!

All ages welcome. Bring your loved one, your kids, come alone, meet new friends, be adventurous and have fun!!

These outings are run by Tom Bold, assistant organizer

This Outing takes us up and across from Mt. St. Helena . I would rate it as upper moderate in difficulty.
It is basically 3 miles up gradually, 2 miles level & 4 miles down.

Really great valley views with a labyrinth on top. The volcanic area has unique formations. Read more

What members are saying

 This Meetup Group may cost a few bucks but you will encounter few people & see unique areas that are not generally known or visited . ... 

 Tom's knowledge of the area and his ability to find such remote adventure treks makes his hikes well worth while. I have not been disappointed. -Lee on Oct. 14
