Best of California's Wine Country

We know you don’t need an excuse to visit wine country...but we’re giving you one anyway

Since it’s Global Drink Wine Day, there's no better time to celebrate appropriately in wine country. Check into an enchanting boutique hotel (we recommend staying in Calistoga), then get ready to sip your way through the rolling, golden hills of Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino county, through fruity aroma filled cabernets or maybe a rich, oaky chardonnay is more your style. Marvel in the history of your surroundings as you indulge in some of the best cuisine in the state —hello Michelin star restaurants. We recommend any of Thomas Keller’s restaurants, they never disappoint. Cheers to tannins, acidity, brut, legs, and body, all terms you will likely learn and still use incorrectly. Don’t worry, us too.

Calling all audiophiles. 🎧 Checking into the new Darsena Listening Suite at ilsereno in Lake Como needs to be on your bucket list. It’s outfitted with heritage-grade analog equipment, including horn speakers, tube amps, a turntable, a vintage reel-to-reel deck, and a vinyl library 500+ records deep—oh, and stunning views of the lake from an oversized private terrace, of course.
