Best of California’s Wine Country

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.

Scenes from an unforgettable trip to Jalisco, where we wandered the historic streets of Guadalajara, adventured into the heart of the Mexican Highlands to visit the birthplace of tequila, and immersed ourselves in the delicious flavors of the Jalisco interior.

There are lots of reasons to revisit the newly reopened waldorfnyc (which was closed for a top-to-bottom renovation for the past eight years), but a seat at the original Peacock Alley bar may be what gets us to book our reservation. The iconic cocktail lounge, once a favorite of Frank Sinatra, Elisabeth Taylor, and Cole Porter, is back and more glamorous than ever. Meet you there for a drink?
