Day trips from San Jose take visitors through the valley and beyond into San Francisco’s Bay Area and Marin County to the North, or south along the Pacific Coast. Enjoy the wine growing regions of Napa and Livermore, breathtaking beach and mountain landscapes, the contemporary bustle of San Francisco, or smaller rural towns such as Gilroy, the Garlic Capital of the World.
