From the City of Angels to the City by the Bay, California is calling from coastlines to central valley wines. Begin your California tour in Marina del Rey with guided sightseeing on Olvera Street and Hollywood. Head up the coast to the Spanish charm of Santa Barbara to explore the “American Riviera” to explore the Channel Islands and Colonial architecture of this Mediterranean jewel on the Pacific. Get a taste of Denmark amid the windmills of charming Solvang—with authentic Danish streets and pastry treats in the Santa Ynez Valley. Discover art and wine in California’s central valley, then wake up and smell the lavender in a San Miguel farm on the central coast. Feel a breeze in the Monterey Bay where Cannery Row inspired Steinbeck’s famous novel. Be inspired yourself on the waterfront where sea otters and a myriad of marine life flourish. Get in the swing of California life with a visit to Pebble Beach Golf Course and pass the iconic Lone Cypress tree as it clings to the rocky outcrops. Travel the rugged beauty of coastal views on the 17-mile drive to charming Carmel-by-the-Sea—a hamlet to steal your heart with storybook cottages and cobbled lanes beside the bracing ocean air. Go inward to the Central Valley to discover a wealth of agricultural treasures with tours and tastings. On to the rolling vineyards of Napa Valley where California wines hold their own in comparison to the finest French wines. Dig into the wine and culinary scene of Sonoma in the cool Pacific air to explore, eat, and enjoy a glass or two. This Small Group Discovery tour of California is always a good reason to celebrate!
