This is a two-day experience spanning separate days. Valid photo identification is required for all wine tasting participants. The tour is partially wheelchair accessible: Alcatraz and the Aquarium accommodate wheelchairs, but the wine country portion does not.

On Alcatraz, you may stay as long as you wish during operating hours. Only bottled water is permitted at Alcatraz and the Aquarium; large bags and outside food are prohibited. Arrive early at departure points and dress in layers for changing Bay Area weather.
