ITINERARY AT A GLANCE:

Welcome to San Francisco! Arrive in San Francisco and make your own way to to the Taj Campton Place check-in. The FAM kicks off with a welcome dinner at Taj Campton Place Restaurant, followed by an evening at leisure in “the Golden City.” The following day we will start with breakfast and a site tour of the hotel, followed by a surprise activity in the city!

The remainder of the day is for you to explore the city or to organize independent hotel site inspections. The following morning, we will say farewell to the Taj and walk 5 blocks to the Fairmont San Francisco for a hosted breakfast and site tour.

World renowned, The Fairmont Hotel presents an awe-inspiring picture of historic San Francisco. The grandeur of the fully restored hotel coupled with its reputation for impeccable service promises a truly memorable experience. Centrally-located to the Financial District, Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf, the Fairmont Hotel is the only spot in San Francisco where each of the City's cable car lines meet.

After our visit to this iconic hotel, we will make our way out of the city and into wine country. Once in Sonoma, we will enjoy our first wine experience at Ram’s Gate Winery before arriving to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. The evening concludes with a group dinner. The following day will rise early to start the day with a guided hike, followed by a delicious breakfast. After a site tour of the property, the afternoon is yours to enjoy with a reserved cabana at the pool. Spa treatments (not included) may be booked prior to arrival. At 4:30pm you are in for a treat - experience the hotel wine tasting hour. The rest of the evening is at your leisure. On our final day together, we will say farewell after breakfast and transfer back to the San Francisco Airport.
