Top Rated Highlights

• San Francisco: Linking San Francisco to Marin County across the three-mile Golden Gate strait, this magnificent suspension bridge was built between 1933 and 1937. Renowned as an engineering marvel due to the precise planning, design and construction processes that were applied, all over treacherous open water, it remains one of America's most fascinating landmarks.
• San Francisco: Federally protected as a National Monument since 1908, this stunning 558-acre site preserves one of the last remaining ancient redwood forests in the Bay Area. Wander the magical paths among the trees, some of which are 1,000 years old and over 250 feet tall.
• Mendocino: One of the Mendocino Coast's most unique and photogenic destinations, Glass Beach gets its name from the smooth colorful glass pieces mixed into the pebbly beach. This colorful wonderland is the result of shards of broken bottles, windows and other debris worn down over the decades by the rolling surf.
• Napa: Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley are both world famous for their vineyards and wine production, and for good reason! Taste some of the finest wines produced here, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel.

Make Travel Matter

• Healdsburg: Visit the Heidrun Meadery in Point Reyes and learn all about the production of sparkling mead varietals (wine made from honey rather than grapes), using the traditional French Methode Champenoise. Flowering plants are cultivated in the pastures, gardens and greenhouse to provide healthy, natural, yearlong forage for Honey Bees colonies.
• Mendocino: Walk along this unique blend of gentle trails, rugged coastline and secluded beaches. Myriad trails wind along the cliffs, giving you spectacular views of sea arches and hidden grottos.
• Mendocino: Founded in 1961, the gardens aim to engage and enrich lives by displaying and conserving plants in harmony with the Northern California coastal ecosystems, and to preserve public access to the coast. The beautiful site features manicured formal gardens and flower-filled coastal slopes overlooking the ocean.
