Avoid airport hassle and relax on your deluxe motorcoach for this five day tour! Spend the first night in historic Santa Maria Inn en route to San Francisco and the Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf. After a city tour visit the De Young Memorial Museum for a special Dale Chihuly exhibit. He is the most famous craft and glass artist living today.
Adjacent to the museum is the Japanese Tea Garden built as part of the 1894 Fair. Lunch will follow at the Empress of China skyroom with time to explore Chinatown - even a visit to a fortune cookie factory. In Napa Valley visit Copia (the american Center for Wine, Food and the Arts). After lunch in Julia Child's Kitchen, enjoy the three and a half acre "edible garden" modeled after the exquisite 16th century, Jardin Du Villandry of France. Spend this night in the beautiful Harris Ranch Inn where a farewell dinner is planned. After breakfast the last day head for home with pleasant memories.
