Bustling San Francisco is the perfect spot for a Girlfriend Getaway. Non-stop entertainment, beautiful nature spots, art galleries and museums, and delectable dining characterize this colorful city.

You'll enjoy a private Nordstrom event, a private cable car tour of the city's most popular sites, a visit to the King Tut exhibit at the DeYoung Museum, and attend a performance of Beach Blanket Babylon, a zany musical comedy.

Then head north for two days in the Sonoma wine country. On the way, stop to nuzzle puppies during a tour of the Guide Dogs for the Blind School in San Rafael. Upon arrival, savor a wine tasting and private tour at Chateau St. Jean winery, then top off your vacation with a private Wine & Dine cooking class.
