  • Experience the historic tasting room of Sequoia Grove Winery to sip wine behind a redwood bar.

Sonoma

Flora’s Field Kitchen

Turn up the heat with a salsa-making class and a long lunch at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico. Master Chefs will teach you how to make authentic salsas, tortillas and more in a beautiful outdoor kitchen. At the end of your cooking class, you will get to enjoy the recipes you crafted and receive a cookbook to bring home with you.

Hana Highway

Hop on the next flight to Maui, Hawaii, to escape winter’s chill and bask in warmth and sun. Then adventure the island with your significant other, hunting for waterfalls and the region’s many colorful sand beaches. A romantic drive on the the Road to Hana offers the perfect fun-in-the-sun adventure.

Visitors have said that the road to Hana is about the journey, not the destination. The full drive takes a day, and we highly recommend not rushing it. During your road trip, you’ll want to stop off at these places:

  • Spot sea turtles sunbathing on the shore at Ho’okipa State Park in Paia.
  • Sneak at kiss overlooking two stunning waterfalls at Twin Falls.
  • Share Hawaiian Shaved Ice and fresh fruit at the roadside stand at Huelo Lookout.
  • Grab some of Aunt Sandy’s Banana Bread.
  • Walk the black-sand beach and archaeological site at Nu’u Bay.
