1 Arrive San Francisco, California

Upon arrival in San Francisco, the afternoon and evening stretch ahead, offering time to wander through iconic landmarks and discover eclectic neighborhoods at your own pace. From the soaring silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge to the lively energy of Fisherman’s Wharf, every corner reveals something unforgettable. Fog drifts lazily over steep hills, while cable cars clatter along streets lined with Victorian façades, grounding the modern with its storied past.

San Francisco’s renowned culinary diversity comes to life at the historic Ferry Building, where a private tasting tour awaits. A local guide, deeply rooted in the city’s food culture, leads the way through seasonal bites crafted by top Bay Area artisans. This immersive journey, curated by a food industry expert, offers a deeper understanding of one of the city’s most cherished landmarks and the bold flavors that define it.

Point Reyes — with its windswept beaches, rugged cliffs and rolling pastures — sets the stage for a full-day culinary journey through West Marin’s agricultural heartland. Begin with fresh-baked bread and local olive oils before visiting Cowgirl Creamery, home of the award-winning Red Hawk cheese. Continue to Hog Island Oyster Co. for a look at sustainable oyster farming and tastings of freshly harvested and barbecued oysters. Conclude the day at a regenerative organic farm, where you harvest seasonal fruits and vegetables alongside the farmer. In nearby Sonoma, known for its oak-covered hills and world-class wine country, arrive in Forestville for an evening spent relaxing by the pool or fire pits, exploring the surrounding Russian River Valley or discovering nearby Healdsburg.

A day of curated tastings and refined experiences begins in the heart of Sonoma Valley, guided by a private driver and local expert. At Flowers Vineyard, a focused tasting highlights signature Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge. Seasonal bites accompany the wines, served in a tranquil garden or an elegant indoor space. The next stop, Capo Creek, offers an intimate cave and vineyard tour, followed by a four-course lunch. Estate wines and sweeping vineyard views frame the meal, hosted by owner, chef and winemaker Mary Roy in her private garden.

Nestled among sunlit vineyards and rolling hills, Napa Valley offers a blend of world-class wines, fresh cuisine and scenic trails. The day begins with a guided e-bike ride along the Napa Valley Vine Trail, passing picturesque farmland with stops for olive oil tastings, farm visits and a casual picnic. In the afternoon, a private experience at Peju Vineyards includes a tour, tasting and hands-on cooking class. Located in the heart of Rutherford, the sustainably farmed estate features gardens, elegant wines and a wood-fired oven for preparing a seasonal meal with the executive chef. The day winds down with boutique shopping in St. Helena or quiet time back at your hotel.

Morning mist clings to the vineyards as Napa Valley greets the day with quiet elegance. A shared hot air balloon ride offers panoramic views at sunrise, followed by a sparkling wine toast and a light breakfast. Private wine tastings follow — tailored to your preferences — with a break at Oxbow Market for a relaxed lunch of local specialties. In the afternoon, a visit to Promontory Vineyard brings you to a secluded Oakville estate, where dramatic terrain and thoughtful winemaking produce bold, expressive wines.
