Trip Summary

A California, Nevada road trip is an exhilarating journey that seamlessly transitions from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the laid-back beaches of Southern California, offering a blend of thrilling entertainment and natural beauty, from the dazzling lights of the Strip to the majestic landscapes of Death Valley and Yosemite National Park. This road trip promises a diverse range of experiences, from trying your luck in the casinos of Sin City to immersing yourself in the serene wilderness of California’s national parks. You can add you hotels, flights, car rental, activities and transfers to your liking. The itinerary is just a suggestion based on our experience.

DAY 1

Day 1 :

Arrive in LA or Sacramento and pick up your car. Start your drive into Yosemite National Park. You’ll have a few options of places to stay to cater to your budget. Check in and get settled before venturing out to explore the views of Half Dome and El Capitan. Be sure to make your way to the meadows in the evening to see the deer come out to graze.

DAY 2

Day 2 :

Lots of options today but we recommend hiking the Mist Trail, the Mirror Lake hike, lower Yosemite Falls or riding bikes around the valley. Don’t forget to visit the Ansel Adams museum, and if you’re feeling really adventurous do the full day hike to the top of Half Dome. You’ll need tickets for this so let us know and we can arrange in getting them if they are available. Have a nice diner at the Ahwahnee Hotel if you’re staying in Yosemite valley. The hotel is stunning.

DAY 3

Day 3 :

Setting out early you’ll drive towards Lake Tahoe one of the prettiest drives we’ve ever done. Tons of places to stop and see wildlife and nature. Check into the resort and expect a couple days of luxury at one of our favorite properties. Sit by the fire pit overlooking the lake as the sun sets.

DAY 4

DAY 5

Day 5 :

Wake up and when you’re ready head over to Sonoma/Napa Valley. Be prepared for a few days of luxury as there are a lot of things to do and see in the area. We have quite a few hotels and resorts we work with to fit various budget ranges. We’ve been to most of the wineries and have a small list of our favorites that we would be more than happy to arrange private tastings. Napa has some of the best restaurants in the world and we’d be happy to make a reservation at any of the Michelin rated restaurants. Please remember they are sometimes booked months in advance so the earlier we know the better. The hotel spas are generally all fantastic as well.
