California Road Trip

Start your adventure in San Francisco, staying at the vibrant Hotel Triton. Spend your first days exploring iconic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge and hopping on a cable car to navigate the city’s steep streets. Don’t miss Fisherman’s Wharf and the quirky Haight Ashbury district. A highlight is the included sightseeing tour, which takes you to all the must-see spots and ends with a visit to Alcatraz Island. In the evenings, enjoy some fantastic local dining and get lost in the city's lively arts and music scene.

From San Francisco, head to Napa Valley, just an hour’s drive away. You’ll stay at the elegant Silverado Resort, surrounded by rolling vineyards. Spend your day sipping world-class wines along the famous Highway 29, where every turn brings you to another stunning winery or boutique estate. Whether you prefer a sophisticated tasting at a hillside vineyard or a laid-back stop at a family-run winery, Napa offers endless options. Finish your day with a farm-to-table dinner, pairing local flavors with the region’s best wines as you relax in the peaceful Napa countryside.

Today, drive east towards Yosemite National Park, staying at The Pines Resort at Bass Lake. You’ll be surrounded by nature’s grandeur, with towering granite cliffs, waterfalls, and ancient sequoia trees. Hike through Yosemite Valley or visit Glacier Point for sweeping views of El Capitan and Half Dome. If you’re feeling adventurous, there are plenty of trails to explore. After a day of outdoor fun, retreat to your rustic resort, where you can relax by the lake and enjoy the mountain air.

Leave the mountains behind and head to the coast, arriving in Monterey Bay for a stay at Portola Hotel & Spa. Here, you can enjoy a whale-watching tour from Old Fisherman’s Wharf, or simply walk along the coast to spot seals playing on the rocks. Monterey’s Aquarium and Cannery Row are perfect for an afternoon visit. Later, take a short drive to the picturesque town of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Spend your evening strolling its charming streets, filled with art galleries and boutiques, before relaxing at one of the town’s many cozy cafes or wine bars.

Enjoy the scenic drive down the Pacific Coast Highway to Santa Barbara, where you’ll stay at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. The Mediterranean-style architecture and palm-lined streets make this town feel like a slice of paradise. Explore State Street’s boutiques and cafes, then take a sunset stroll along the beach. If you’re feeling adventurous, rent bikes or take the Santa Barbara Trolley for a fun tour around town. Santa Barbara’s laid-back, elegant atmosphere makes it the perfect place to recharge before the final leg of your journey.

Arrive in Los Angeles for the final three nights, staying at The Garland Hotel. LA offers a mix of glitz and relaxation. Spend your days visiting Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive’s luxury shops, and taking a tour of celebrity homes. In the afternoons, slow down with a visit to the beach – Santa Monica and Venice Beach are perfect spots to soak up the California sun. End your trip with a leisurely sunset on Santa Monica Pier or by enjoying some of LA’s renowned Michelin-starred dining.
