Californian Splendour

EXPERIENCE THE RICHNESS OF HETEROGENEITY

California is amongst the few places in the world where you can experience a little bit of everything: ocean drives, lush forests, elegant vineyards, towering mountains, expansive deserts, magical amusements parks, cosmopolitan cuisine, and agricultural heritage. Whether you’re taking a road trip, riding a train, or hopping on a couple of flights, there are some of the very best cities in the world to visit in California. The place is not just about beaches, surfers, and movie stars as is the common perception. Given that California is the most populous and the most diverse state in America, there’s more to this West Coast destination than meets the eye.

EXTRAORDINARY CHEFS AND SUPERSTAR DINNERS

Watch chefs work their magic at The Restaurant at Meadowood-The Napa Valley: The best seats at chef Christopher Kostow’s Wine Country haven don’t just have a view of the line; they’re inside the kitchen at the coveted chef’s counter, where the Michelin three-star tasting menu is upgraded to a 20-course feast that kicks off at $500. The reward for that extraordinary expenditure? A front row seat to a kind of culinary sorcery where your dinner might include cheese candles, house-smoked eel, and a photo souvenir with Kostow himself.
