Culinary guided tours of San Francisco's Chinatown and North Beach.

 

The university is famous, but Berkeley has more to offer – for example the Gourmet Ghetto, the origin of the ‘California Cuisine’. The other side of San Francisco Bay – only half an hour away on the subway.

 

Two hours, two days, for enthusiasts even a whole week: the Culinary Institute of America in the heart of the Napa Valley offers courses for professionals, but also for wine lovers and those for whom cooking is just a hobby. At weekends there are demonstrations for as little as $15 and the restaurant terrace offers a panoramic view. Informative and entertaining: the programme 'Sophisticated Palate' with John Ash.

 

Whether it’s a mud bath you’re after in the Indian Springs Resort & Spa, a dinner in the chic Solage Restaurant or a night’s stay in the Hotel Christopher's Inn: the small town of Calistoga in the Napa Valley offers time out from the hustle and bustle of the city.
