California Beaches & A-List Retreats on the American Riviera
Santa Barbara cool. If only we could bottle that luxurious laid-back vibe. We’d start with a bike ride through the Santa Ynez Valley, then squeeze in a relaxing massage. Stir in stops at boutique wineries and a coastal cycling route in the heart of the Ojai Valley. Infuse with exquisite meals, luxury hotels and plenty of family time. Quench your thirst on the American Riviera.
Highlights
- Discover California's "other Wine Country"—back roads and authentic tasting rooms of the Los Olivos area that feel like 1970s Napa Valley
- Pedal together down serene palm-fringed bike paths that spread out along the sun-kissed coast of the spectacular American Riviera
- Explore a wealth of diversions on your journey—quaint towns, historic sites, a beach boardwalk and stunning views of the Pacific
- Experience the casual energy and small-town charm of Ojai, where natural beauty and an independent spirit merge
