- Serafina: Authentic Italian Cuisine. This small little restaurant is beneath the bachelor pad Connor first lived in when he and Tori started dating. It's homey Italian and delicious - we recommend the burrata and calamari, and also their veal.

- Frascati: Local Italian Cuisine. In our own little neighborhood of Russian Hill, this place has quickly become a delicious option. We recommend either the salmon or risotto - but all is delicious.

- The Crepe House: Good weekend brunch spot if you enjoy crepes. They have other options as well, but a local little spot off of Polk St.

- Golden Gate Bridge: If going to see it from the San Francisco side, route yourself to the GGB South Parking Zone. There is a fee, but it's the easiest accessibility coming from the south side, and has an easy way up to walk the bridge (if you so choose). This is also a great spot to take iconic photos.

- Palace of Fine Arts: This outdoor beauty was originally constructed for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition to exhibit works of art. Since then it has been rebuilt and preserved into the structure it is today. This is a good small little walk and won't take too much time to see.

- Lyon Street Steps: This is a famous staircase taking visitors to a viewpoint showing the Palace of Fine Arts dome & surrounds. Navigate to the top of the steps by going to the cross streets of Broadway and Lyon. You can walk them all the way to the Palace of Fine Arts if you wish, but it'll be a steep climb on the way back.

- Ghirardelli Square: This is a Bayside landmark right on the edge of the Embarcadero. It's a cute little shopping area with Ghiradelli chocolate, a few restaurants/brewery, and local shopping. Pop in for a small little sight-seeing opportunity.

- Fort Mason: Fort Mason is a large park that is up against the marina and has food trucks, outdoor picnic space, bike rentals, etc. On Friday evenings, a food truck festival called 'Off the Grid' happens here, and on Sunday mornings, it's where the local SF Farmer's Market is held. It's easily walkable and sometimes you can even see sealions in the Bay resting here.

- Land's End: This is a park in San Francisco within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It has a beautiful rocky shoreline that you can walk through or hike trailheads on. Please wear walking shoes for this area. Beautiful picture taking views as well.

https://barbocce.com/

- The Spinnaker: A well known seafood restaurant with Bay views and great sunsets. Many different food choices here. This would be more of a nicer dinner/lunch option.

- Barrel House: A waterfront tavern with many beer options and good eats. Recommend the lobster rissoto.

https://barrelhousetavern.com/

https://www.napavalleyburgercompany.com/

- Sausalito Bakery & Cafe: This place is so cute for breakfast, brunch, or lunch! It's great to pop in for a breakfast sandwich or pastry and enjoy a latte as you enjoy the stunning waterfront views outside.

- Francis Ford Coppola: This winery includes seated tastings, a walk up tasting bar, a full restaurant, movie memorabilia (like Oscars) and also a poolside view! We recommend the Director's Cut chardonnay or the Reserve chardonnay. But all of their wine is super yummy! Highly recommend making a reservation.
https://www.francisfordcoppolawinery.com/


- Bella Vineyards & Wine Caves: This is the cutest little boutique like winery where you can have a tasting amongst olive trees or inside the caves themselves. It's a ways back into the hills of Russian River but the wine is worth it. Please note if you go here, service is pretty spot, so plan ahead for knowing directions back out!
https://www.bellawinery.com/


- Seghesio Family Vineyards: This vineyard is one that the Doherty family are members at! Come here if you enjoy reds. We recommend the Venom, Home Ranch Zin, and Old Vine Zins. It has a cool open area with bocce ball courts, Adirondack chairs, and sweet breezes.
https://www.seghesio.com/


- J Vineyards & Winery: Come here if you want a majority of sparkling wines! They have red and white, but they're definitely known for their sparkles. They also have a good amount of charcuterie options and food pairings if you want to go for a while.
https://www.jwine.com/


- Sbragia Family Vineyards: This is one of the potential venues we looked at for our wedding, but decided it was too small. BUT THE VIEW Y'ALL! It's worth the drive. Please note if you go here, service is pretty spot, so plan ahead for knowing directions to get back out! Delicious wines!
https://www.sbragia.com/


- Merriam Vineyards: Recently joined here in 2023! They have a delicious uncorked chardonnay, but all of their wines are very tasty and it's a relaxing, small vineyard vibe. Delicious wines!
https://www.merriamvineyards.com/





- V. Sattui: This has to be one of our favorite wineries. It's a large vineyard and Italian-designed property that allows for a beautiful tasting experience. Definitely get reservations here if you want a sit down tasting. If you want more of a casual experience, you can also just go to their on-site shop and grab some snacks and bottles, and sit out in their picnic area!

http://www.vsattui.com/

- Lola: This is a tiny little boutique shop that is just a garden paradise - with wine! Pop in for a quick tasting - but expect a more casual experience - also we recommend a reservation!

https://www.lolawines.com/

- Castillo di Amorosa: This is a wine tasting in a castle! For the full winery experience, we recommend the Diamond Estate Tour & Reserve Wine Tasting, but you can also just go in to their shop or do a regular tasting.

https://castellodiamorosa.com/

- Schug Winery: This is a smaller winery that has a couple outdoor seating spots. It's quiet and intimate with good tastings. It's one of the closer wineries on the drive up from SF, but be aware it is small and pretty casual.

https://schugwinery.com/

- Domaine Carneros: This is a big estate better known for sparkling wines. They offer different types of tastings, but we would recommend other venues for reds or whites. Stick to sparklings here. Cute area for pictures and the full experience.

https://www.domainecarneros.com/

- Pangloss Cellars: We love this place! It's an indoor tasting room, (not a vineyard), that has great reds and whites to try, but definitely more reds. It's rustic, big leather vibes and casual sitting spaces. You have to have a reservation for this place, but one of the best on Sonoma Square!
