San Francisco & Napa/Sonoma Wine Country

Eclectic, colorful, historic and avant-garde - San Francisco is a lively city with a little something for everyone. From famous sights, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz Island to legendary neighborhoods like North Beach, Chinatown and Haight-Ashbury, the City by the Bay appeals at every turn. Visitors come from around the world to stroll its fog-draped hills, ride its iconic cable cars and marvel at its well-preserved Victorian architecture. Highly regarded for its superb dining, especially seafood, San Francisco is also noted for its central role in groundbreaking cultural and artistic movements, including the Beat Generation of the 1950s, the psychedelic rock music scene of the 1960s, and the gay rights milestones of the 1970s and beyond. With a story that stretches from the Barbary Coast to the Silicon Valley, San Francisco welcomes travellers with an almost magical vibe.

In California's premier wine region, the abundance of food, wine, and nature delivers the perfect 'blend'. While there are plenty of trendy wineries and in-town tasting rooms, discovering and experiencing 'hidden gem' wineries, cafes, galleries and more along country roads is perhaps even more satisfying, especially when paired with gourmet picnic fare. Iconic small town charm along with stellar hotels, inns, and spas abound in Calistoga, Yountville, St. Helena, Healdsburg, and Sonoma. Napa County and Sonoma County boast over over 1,000 wineries and the region is blessed with many parks, miles hiking trails, dozens of golf courses, and hundreds of dining options, from food trucks to casual roadside cafes to Michelin-starred restaurants.
