Top 10 Day Trips from in California, United States

March 24, 2022 Almeta Stockton

California is a fertile, peaceful place where you’ll find a near-equal balance of vineyards and deserts, beaches and mountains, hippies and traditionalists. Catch an epic wave in Big Sur or swirl a glass in Napa Valley. Be dazzled by the Joshua Tree night sky or just star-gaze in Hollywood. Swish down the slopes of a Tahoe ski resort, or cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge with the top down and the music blasting. Above all, don’t forget to soak up some Golden State sunshine.

Lonny was excellent! He was able to add some last minute reservations and recommend additional wineries. One of our faves was a place we weren’t planning to visit but he recommended. Friendly, great driver, go with the flow but professional.

As a first time Temecula Wine Tour guest, I really had a great time! Best Coast Temecula Wine Tours was very professional and they answered all of my questions. They were timely in their pick up and the knowledge provided during the tour regarding Temecula Wine history was excellent. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if Joseph is your tour guide! He was amazing!

I can’t say enough about Dandy. She made choosing wineries to visit easily based on our likes/interests and knew her way around Napa & Sonoma very well. Dandy was our tour guide, listener, photographer and great person to hang out with throughout our tour. Dandy’s dining recommendations for after the tour and places to visit throughout our stay were excellent! She took amazing photos and captured beautiful moments.

SB Limos went above and beyond! We just did a wine tour with them last weekend and it was so much fun. From the moment i called and booked they took care of everything. They called the wineries, set up our reservations, made sure we had plans for lunch, arranged for the driver to pick it up for us, and the driver made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. He even offered to take pics of us at one of the wineries which was so awesome! This pandemic has changed everything, but this day was such a fresh breath of air, and i thank SB Limos for everything they did. Highly recommend. Ask for Stephanie when booking, she will help you with everything.

Paul is such a great tour guide! He is not only knowledgeable and super friendly, but also well managed our expectation by communicating clearly the tour details before the tour day. He is also passionate about his job and has never asked us to give tips or reviews like other tours may do. I rarely write reviews but this one does make me want to leave one here. The place Valley of Fire itself is stunning and breathtaking.
