San Francisco:

Experience San Francisco, one of America's favorite cities. Take a stroll along Pier 39, sample delicious fare at Ghirardelli Square, or hop on a cable car and explore the sights. At Fisherman's Wharf, you can taste the freshest Dungeness crab, get one of the best views in the entire city, and chat with the renowned sea lions. Sample the delicious Italian cuisine in North Beach, find treasures in Chinatown, or satisfy your shopping urge in Union Square.

The Fairmont San Francisco

Centrally located on Mason Street, The Fairmont San Francisco luxury hotel is a short cable car trip from the bustling downtown, Financial District, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. The Fairmont San Francisco hotel is located at the only spot in San Francisco where each of the city's cable car lines meet. The hotel also offers fine dining with three renowned restaurants and lounges. With a panoramic view of the city and the bay from high atop Nob Hill, The Fairmont San Francisco hotel holds an unmatched blend of luxurious accommodations and superb services which make for an unforgettable stay.

Sonoma:

Wine Country doesn't get more real than Sonoma Valley, whose rich soils mark the birthplace of California's wine industry. It's also the closest wine region to San Francisco, just 45 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Cradled between the Mayacamas and the Sonoma Mountain ranges, Sonoma Valley encompasses a rolling patchwork of vineyards, quaint farms and 13,000 acres of scenic parkland. In the center of town, the eight-acre Sonoma Plaza is a National Historic Landmark, strewn with sprawling shade trees and bordered by carefully preserved adobe buildings.

The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Enjoy a 2-night stay in a standard Fairmont room (one king or one queen bed) including daily breakfast for two in the dining room at this resort blessed by natural mineral hot springs and set in the heart of the California Wine Country. The spa's inspiring architecture reveals pools, baths, and treatment areas unique in the West. It is a true spa, created in the grand European tradition and based on the benefits of the property's thermal mineral springs. Santé Restaurant is the Inn's premier dining room and has earned a national reputation for its outstanding food. Recipient of the prestigious AAA 4-Diamond award, Santé is the only restaurant in the Sonoma Valley to receive this accolade. Condé Nast Traveler said "it's worth a special trip just to eat here" and Gourmet Magazine calls the food "the best of the new Wine Country style." It was recently one of the few hotel restaurants in the United States to be awarded a Michelin star rating.
