A TDS Favorite!

Facilitator: Derrick Story
Closest Airport: Sonoma County Airport - 6 miles from TDS HQ

This multi-dimensional workshop features a variety of locations spanning from the rugged Sonoma Coast, to magistic redwoods, to colorful, sprawling vineyards, and the amazing Safari West African Animal Preserve.

Referred to as the Sonoma Serengeti, Safari West is located on 400 rolling acres in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains and is home to hundreds of African animals, including exotic birds, mammals, and reptiles. We will explore this habitat in a private tour designed for photographers. We'll be driving through large open areas with unobstructed views of the creatures we discover.

But the adventure does not end there. During this workshop, we'll enjoy a private wine tasting led by a wine educator, and stand on the cliffs of the rugged Sonoma Coast for stunning landscape work, and so much more. A true adventure indeed!
