Petaluma River Cruise with OLLI

 

Thanks to an opening in the Dolphin River Cruise calendar, we’re offering a new excursion along the Petaluma River on May 16! 

You may recall our two relaxing cruises last summer along the Napa River on this charming vessel. Rediscover this historic Petaluma river artery while treating yourself to an insider’s view of remote settings in Marin and Sonoma County rarely seen on this 3 hour cruise. We’re also reaching out to Los Carneros appellation wineries to include a regional wine tasting during our cruise.
