    Things To Do

Things To Do

Northern California is full of things to do and we love all of them! We have curated a few of the classics but can't possibly list out everything you can see. Areas that would be great to explore in addition to coming for the wedding include San Francisco, Napa Valley, and the Monterey/Carmel area! There are so many great road trips and ideas mapped out online, we highly encourage seeing what would best fit your interests.
Golden Gate Bridge

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most iconic landmark in SF. There are multiple ways to experience the bridge including driving across, viewing it from the Presidio, by boat, or my personal favorite, biking across. It is a must-see when in the city!

Philz Coffee

Philz Coffee

Philz is the best coffee in the Bay! They focus on making pour-over coffee - one cup at a time. The most popular being their iced mint mojito made the house way ( Sweet & Creamy).

Cable Cars

Cable Cars

San Francisco’s cable cars are symbolic of the charm and distinct flavor of the city. In no other place can you ride a moving national historic monument. I recommend hopping on at Fisherman’s Wharf. There are two lines that service this stop and it puts you in the heart of many destinations. The famed Buena Vista Cafe is right by where you hop on. Would highly recommend getting yourself an Irish Coffee to go and then sightsee!

Napa Valley

Napa Valley

If you are looking to keep the winery theme going throughout your time in California, there is no better place to go than Napa Valley! n the city of Napa, Oxbow Public Market features regional gourmet food. The Napa Valley Wine Train is a vintage locomotive and traveling restaurant running through the valley. Northwest of Napa is Yountville, a town known for high-end restaurants and sparkling wine. There are more than 400 wineries open for tastings and 90 urban tasting rooms in the valley so you can absolutely find a few that fit what you are looking for!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Monterey Bay Aquarium

A must-see if you are looking to spend time in Monterey! It is very well done with amazing sealife. The aquarium is located right in Cannery Row and is the city's main attraction. If you are planning on visiting, it is highly recommended to book your tickets in advance

Muir Woods

Muir Woods

Muir Woods' old-growth coastal redwoods are truly incredible and are so iconic to the area. If you haven't seen Redwoods before, there is nothing quite like it. The woods recently switched to a reservation system to limit overcrowding, so make sure to book your time slot in advance.

Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel is a small beach town known for its charm. It is on the end of 17-Mile Drive - a scenic road through Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove. It houses an adorable downtown and it is the last main town before heading into Big Sur. The drive is known for winding turns, seaside cliffs, and views of the often-misty coastline. It is beautiful and a really unique experience!
