• Limited tickets makes this less crowded than the standard day tour
• Upon docking, your visit will be less crowded than tours at midday, and you’ll be led up the hill to the Cellhouse itself, hosted by an experienced docent. You will stop along the way to discover the island’s history, from before the U.S. Civil War to family life of the prison staff.
• For guests unable to make the climb, a tram is available, although it would miss the docent tour.
• You will go through the Cellhouse at your own pace. The award-winning audio headset tour is included. Available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
• You’ll see solitary confinement cells, and hear dramatic stories from actual prisoners and correctional officers who lived or worked on Alcatraz.

• Located in the hilly Carneros region near the SF Bay where the climate is a bit cooler, the Bartolucci family’s Madonna Estate has been operating since 1922, Now using organically grown grapes to produce Estate Bottled wines, this third oldest winemaking family in the Napa Valley combines traditional and modern winemaking techniques.
• Similarly, the Trinchero family has been running Sutter Home Winery since 1948, creating some history of their own when they created White Zinfandel in the 1970s – introducing a new, sweeter flavor profile. They also changed the way Americans enjoyed wine by offering them high-quality varietals at an affordable price. By the 1980s and 1990s, Sutter Home became a household name and the second largest independent family-run winery in the U.S.
• With over a century of wine-making history in Sonoma, Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery focuses on crafting small lots of super-premium wines from Sonoma County.
