About an hour northwest of San Francisco, past bustling east Marin, you'll find the Nicasio Valley, where cows and horses rule the hills. Despite it's small town vibe, the valley has plenty of activities to fill your three-day weekend.
Choose between music, food, and dancing at Rancho Nicasio, bird watching at the Nicasio Reservoir, cheese tasting via bike at Nicasio Valley Cheese Company and Marin French Cheese, and a tour of the historic Nicasio School and St. Mary's Church. Whatever you decide to do, it'll be the perfect weekend escape from SF.
