Take the Alameda/Oakland Ferry from either the Ferry Building or Pier 41 (from the Ferry Building, it takes less than 30 minutes to get to the East Bay and you’ll be literal steps from Jack London Square when you get off). If you’re staying closer to the water in San Francisco, the San Francisco Bay Ferry will be the easiest option. If you’re coming from the heart of San Francisco, take BART to either the Lake Merritt or 12th Street/Oakland City Center station. Jack London Square is easily accessible by ferry, subway, and car. Here we’ve rounded up the best spots to visit.

There are no vineyards in sight, but on a day trip to the walkable Jack London Square, you can still pack a full itinerary centered around wine. His work there as an oyster pirate and sailor provided inspiration for many of his stories later in life. The square hosts dozens of annual events, including an Art & Wine Festival in the Spring and a Wine Walk in the Fall, and is named for the famous author Jack London, who spent much of his youth at the port.
It’s still a working seaport today, but in recent years has been reenergized as a lively, mixed-use commercial district full of restaurants and bars, urban wine tasting rooms, shopping, and recreational activities. Located right on the waterfront, this area has been at the heart of Oakland’s Port operations since the mid-1800s. If you’re staying in San Francisco and are limited on time, a small wine haven sits just a quick subway or ferry ride away in the East Bay at Oakland’s Jack London Square. A visit to Napa Valley or Sonoma Wine Country is on the bucket list of many visitors to the Bay Area, yet with roughly 1,000 wineries in total, it begs for at least a few days of exploration.
