ITINERARY: 7 Days / 6 Nights
DAY 1: ARRIVAL DAY - Thursday
Travel to DFW Airport via deluxe motor coach. Depart for San Francisco. After check-in at the historic Sir Francis
Drake Hotel, we'll spend an "Evening at the Museum" at the spectacular Asian Art Museum, where we will have
dinner at Cafe Asia, take an architectural tour of the Museum's circa 1917 Beaux Art building, and enjoy
curator-guided tours, cultural performances, and shop for the Holidays in the Museum's fabulous Gift Shop.. (S,D)
DAY 2: Friday
The morning will be spent on a motorcoach sightseeing tour of some of San Francisco's famous locales, such as
Lombard Street, Coit Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Embarcadero, and Nob Hill, before departing for a Day Trip
to Napa Valley, where we will meet our expert "winery guide". First, we will have touring, tasting and lunch at a
Napa Valley winery overlooking the vineyards approaching harvest time, followed by motorcoach sightseeing of Napa
Valley, then touring and tasting at Kuleto Winery, built to resemble a Tuscan Village and sitting atop a hill overlooking
the Lake Hennessey and the Valley. The day will conclude with dinner at Ristaurante Allegria, followed by time to
shop in Downtown Napa and before returning to San Francisco. (B,L,D)
DAY 3: Saturday
We're really in for a treat today!! After Breakfast, we embark upon a specially-created tour just for our group into
the history and cuisine of San Francisco's Chinatown. We'll go along the backstreets to places not generally open
to the public, experience a Chinese tea ceremony, visit a Chinese herbalist, shop in unique stores for the Holidays, and
sample a variety of wonderful foods along the way. Following our Chinatown experience, we'll take a guided tour of
the Haas-Lilienthal House, a pre-1906 earthquake home depicting the life of an upper middle class family in Victorian
San Francisco. We'll return to the Hotel late afternoon, so that you can have dinner on your own at the restaurant of
your choice, and have the evening free to relax or to take in one of San Francisco's many cultural arts performances.
(B,L)
Day 4: Sunday
Free time until early afternoon. This afternoon, you will have a choice of either 1) taking the guided "Vertigo"
tour of San Francisco -- visiting various locations in San Francisco filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in his 1950's movie
classic with James Stewart and Kim Novak; or 2) spending the afternoon Holiday shopping in nearby Union Square
and seeing other sights in San Francisco on your own. Dinner this evening will be at the famed Cliff House
overlooking the Pacific Ocean at sunset, with time to marvel at the Camera Obscura, a historical landmark reproduction
of a Leonardo DaVinci invention which captures images spanning 360-degrees. (B,D)
Day 5: Monday
Day trip to Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel. In Monterey, we'll have guided tours of museum homes from
the colonial period of Old California and Colton Hall, where California's Constitution was signed, followed by a
sightseeing tour of Pacific Grove before we head over to Carmel. The afternoon in Carmel will include a motorcoach
tour of the spectacular 17-mile Drive and Pebble Beach. There will be plenty of time to stroll and Holiday shop in
Carmel, visit its art galleries, before we meet for dinner in one of Carmel's many fine restaurants before we return to
San Francisco. (B,D)

intriguing Mechanical Museum, and, of course, Ghiradelli Square. Lunch on your own before we motorcoach

Enigmatic and romantic San Francisco with its colourful
history, stately Victorians (often referred to as "painted
ladies"), Chinatown, spectacular views, and fabulous
restaurants, never fails capture the hearts of its visitors. It
is especially "magical" during the Holiday season.
Monterey, both the Spanish and Mexican Capitol of Old
California, and forever immortalized by Nobel prize-winning
author John Steinbeck, is a mix of history and Californians'
love affair with the Pacific Ocean.
Nearby Carmel, known for its quaint "cottage architecture",
artisan shops, fine art galleries, superb restaurants and
some of the most beautiful coastline in California, is a
favourite of art-lovers the world over. The welcoming
scent of fireplaces both indoors and outdoors waifs
through the air, inviting visitors to sit nearby and relax with
good food and drink.
Touring, tasting and wine-paired dining in Napa Valley,
world known for its fabulous wines and beautiful wineries,
is also a highlight on this Tour.
