The nine-county San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most dog-friendly regions in the world. From the stunning coastal counties of San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, and San Mateo, where dog-friendly beaches abound, to the lively, pet-welcoming urban centers of Pleasant Hill and Oakland, San Francisco Bay Area is a paradise for pups and their people who follow.

Beyond the coast and cityscapes, the Bay Area serves as your gateway to wine country, where dogs are welcome alongside their humans at wineries in Sonoma County, Napa Valley, Santa Clara County, Livermore Valley, and Suisun Valley. Vacaville offers comfortable accommodations close to the vineyards for a budget-friendly wine country stay.
