San Francisco and Napa Valley Private Journey

Upon arrival, meet the representative and transfer to your hotel in a private car. Before heading out for dinner, you may want to enjoy a cocktail at the View Lounge on the 39th floor of the San Francisco Marriott Marquis for amazing views of the city. Kick-off your California adventure with a walk through the famous streets of Chinatown and enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

Few cities boast an international culinary scene like San Francisco. Hop on one of the city’s iconic cable cars to explore the exciting sights and unforgettable neighborhoods of the city while sampling some of its best dishes. Don’t miss the famous Golden Gate Bridge, Ghirardelli Square (make sure to pick up some chocolate!), and the classic San Francisco view from atop the hill on Lombard Street. Top off your day with a seafood dinner at Fisherman’s Wharf, where you’ll encounter some famous local residents, the Pier 39 sea lions!

Pick up your luxury car and drive to Sonoma. You may want to dive right into the flavors of the region with a walking food and wine tour of Sonoma. Sample locally-made wines and artisanal cheeses as you stroll Sonoma’s historic downtown with a foodie guide, then try fine chocolates and olive oil at chic, cutting-edge boutiques. Soak up the latest flavors at six curated tasting stops along a relaxed, route and get an insider’s perspective on Sonoma’s gourmet culture. Learn the stories behind the region’s culinary legends, thriving vineyards, and remarkable artisanal renaissance. Return to the hotel and lay by the pool, soak in the tub, roast s’mores over the campfire, or enjoy your private balcony. This evening, enjoy dinner at Farmhouse Inn’s Michelin-starred restaurant.

Spend more time exploring Sonoma’s valleys and towns. Start off your day with a breathtaking experience and see wine country from above with an early morning hot-air balloon ride. Climb into a comfortable basket and take to the skies as the valley below awakens. Enjoy a bird’s eye perspective of the rolling hills, expansive vineyards, and elegant estates while your pilot offers insights on the landscape and ballooning as you float above. Afterwards, savor farm-to-table delights in Petaluma. You may even want to take a farm tour of McClelland’s Dairy, known for its artisan butter and pumpkin patch (seasonal) - even try your own hand at milking a cow!

Explore scenic back roads as you depart Sonoma for Napa. Take a detour for a quick coffee in Calistoga, a funky town known for restorative hot springs, before descending into Napa’s unforgettable valley and to your hotel, the inimitable Auberge du Soleil. Relax at the pool, pamper yourself with a massage, or soak in the views of the valley.

Today, discover Napa Valley and its endless array of wineries and gorgeous views. Choose from big, showstopping wineries, small local establishments, or something in between. You’ll find everything from European-style castles to wineries that integrate astounding modern art with the scenic backdrop. Finish your day with an amazing dinner at Auberge du Soleil’s Michelin-starred restaurant.

After breakfast, depart Napa for San Francisco to return your car and catch your return flight.
