Friday
Pizza & Pinot Fridays at Lynmar Estate
PIZZA FRIDAY

Pizza & Pinot Fridays at Lynmar Estate

Eat fresh-from-the-wood-burning-oven pizzas, drink current releases of Lynmar's Pinot Noirs, and soak up views of the redwood-surrounded vineyards. Yep, it just edges out Pizza Day at the cafeteria.

SUNDAY HIKE

Tourist Club's Annual Sommerfest

Truly a bier garden like no other, Sommerfest offers you the chance to hike on in, sip some cold German beer and consume some authentic bratwursts on the patio. As for making your way back out on the trail—how do you say "good luck" in German?
