Notably home to some of the top culinary “musts” in the country and ground zero for the best hot air balloon rides in Northern California, Yountville – just south of Rutherford and Oakville and north of Carneros – is considered by most as the poshest of Napa viticulture areas. It also happens to be the site of Napa Valley’s first known planted grapevines.
On Sept. 1, Pacific Hotel Management’s The Westin Palo Alto celebrates its long-awaited grand reopening. The opening comes after the completion of a multi-million-dollar transformation and a year-and-a-half closure.
Together, Healdsburg and its sister region of Dry Creek are equal parts quaint town and quintessential Northern California at its best. The region also happens to be among the most important (and biggest) wine-growing regions in the United States
The magical waters of Monterey, which happen to be home to 34 species of marine mammals, will undoubtedly woo those with a love of sharks. During a weekend visit, we were bowled over to learn the region was so much more. So, let’s (metaphorically, of course) dive in.
Just in time for back to school, Great Wolf Lodge, including its Anaheim location, has announced its flash sale for August 4 (a k a “8/4 Day” in honor of the water park resort’s comfortable 84-degree temps).

Within walking distance of the theme park and packed with lovely amenities and services, the Southern California resort offers something for everyone.
The idea of Carmel for a weekend away is so utterly enchanting. Its downtown square is full of those magical cottages, with five-star restaurants, quaint inns and wine tasting rooms inside. The walkable waterfront oasis and sister inland region are equal parts charming, elegant and eclectic.
A color-drenched retro surf-inspired resort in San Diego since the 1950’s, Town and Country features all the makings of a memorable summer escape: a massive pool, a twisty waterslide, crazy-good seafood, towering palms and pretty cocktails. Like a scene out of a Beach Boys’ song, it’s only good vibes at this landmark stay.
