Here are the best green Bay Area destinations oM has discovered this year.<\/p>\n

A Wine Time: East Bay Winery Bike Tours<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Oakland
\nCalifornia’s newest wine sensation is closer than you think. And you can reach it by BART. And bike. Enjoy a day away exploring the urbanite oenophile’s dream in Oakland and Berkeley.<\/p>\n

American Pie: Pie Ranch<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Pescadero
\nA working farm with a pie-in-the-sky mission of spreading food knowledge to the community, Pie Ranch is a real treat\u2014both for the delicious pies it turns out, and for its monthly “work party,” a volunteer day followed by a barn bash.<\/p>\n

The Train Gang: Roaring Camp Railroads<\/a>\u00a0| <\/strong>Felton\/Santa Cruz
\nAnything that celebrates train travel gets five green stars in our book. Add majestic redwoods and a historic railroad camp, and we’re hooked.<\/p>\n

Water Play: Shoreline Park<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Mountain View
\nAquatic center, bike trails, Gold Rush history… The Shoreline is about so much more than great concerts.<\/p>\n

Sanctuary of the Sea: Marine Mammal Center<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Sausalito
\nWhether you volunteer or just wander around, this nonprofit veterinary research hospital will leave you both inspired and outraged.<\/p>\n

Bay Bliss: Adventure Cat Sailing<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>San Francisco Bay
\nNothing beats a day at sea (or bay).<\/p>\n

Get to the Point: Point Reyes<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Marin County
\nThis rugged national park has it all: Jaw-dropping views, delectable eats, and all array of outdoor adventures.<\/p>\n

Saratoga Dreaming: Eat, Play, and Relax in Saratoga<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>Saratoga
\nWineries, bike trails, arts center… There’s a reason most Silicon Valley CEOs choose to live in Saratoga.<\/p>\n
