Traveling to San Francisco and the Wine Country-be aware of our microclimates!

If you’ve ever spent time in the Bay Area or headed up to Sonoma and Napa wine country, you know one thing for sure: the weather here keeps you guessing. One minute you’re wrapped in a sweater in San Francisco’s fog, and less than an hour later you’re basking in 90-degree sunshine sipping Cabernet among the vineyards.

That’s the magic (and mischief) of Bay Area microclimates—each pocket of the region has its own personality. The Golden Gate might be chilly and breezy, while Healdsburg or St. Helena are soaking in dry, warm afternoons.

🌡 How extreme can it be? Try a 30-degree difference in the same day. Yes, really.

✨ Travel tip for Napa & Sonoma wine country: Pack layers! Think light jackets, breathable tops, and maybe even a scarf for those cool evenings after a day of wine tasting. Our days are hot but our evenings cool off, making for a pleasant evening stroll.

Whether you’re planning a wine country getaway or a quick Bay Area adventure, knowing how to dress for the weather makes the experience even better. Fog, sun, and everything in between—it’s all part of the charm.

Enjoy,
