10 Nightlife in Marin County That You Shouldn't Miss

September 12, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Some say it’s different, but residents of Marin County like their home that way. We’re betting you will too! Nestled between San Francisco and the Napa Valley, Marin County includes the cities of Tiburon, San Anselmo, San Rafael and Corte Madera.

Activities in Marin County include the highly anticipated Concours d’Elegance, a festival of pre-1978 vehicles and British Sports Cars. Held at the Marin County Fairgrounds in May, the event features a wine-tasting, fine food and “The Drive,” a parade of classic cars winding their way through the scenic back roads of Marin and neighboring Sonoma Counties ending with a lunch reception in San Rafael. In July, be sure to head to the Marin County Fair and in August hit the San Rafael Food and Wine Festival. Treat yourself to some of the world-renowned local wine and watch the sun go down over the hills.

Of course, there’s no shortage of natural beauty in Marin County. Beach lovers will enjoy Stinson Beach or Point Reyes National Seashore where wildlife abounds. Here you just might spot some Elephant Seals or Tule Elk among the rugged terrain or, from Point Reyes Lighthouse, catch a glimpse of a pod of whales. Go butterfly or bird watching and enjoy the many natural wonders of California’s Northern Coast.

For some, no vacation would be complete without a round of golf. If you’re a golf aficionado, Marin County will not disappoint you. The area boasts several public and private courses in a variety of settings, including San Geronimo Golf Course. Situated on 150 acres of stunning landscape, this is a challenging course designed to test your game! Or, try the StoneTree Golf Club, a daily fee, 18-hole championship course. If hiking is more your style, check out Angel Island State Park. Accessible only by ferry, Angel Island offers spectacular views of most of the Bay Area, including San Francisco. Fishing more your style? Try McNear’s Beach Pier in San Rafael.

Hanson of Sonoma Tasting Room at Hanson Gallery

Enjoy a unique tasting of organic grape-based vodka in the sleepy artist community of Sausalito. Sip cocktails and savor caviar while enjoying sweeping views of San Francisco and the bay area. Learn both how to taste vodka and how it’s distilled and explore the extensive art collection of Hanson Gallery.

Reviewed By M8172KZbrianw - Sausalito, United States

Had a great time with a friend here. Stopped to look at the art and found the bar upstairs. Had a delicious vodka cocktail of Mango & Hanson’s organic Vodka, the bartender Shannon was really friendly & knowledgeable about all aspects of the gallery & local neighborhood. Stop in, it’s worth a visit!
