Honeymoon Ideas In California

Napa Valley


With access to beaches, mountains and deserts, California has many possibilities for romantic honeymoon destinations. Newlyweds can relax in the peaceful wine country in Napa Valley, gawk at the celebrities in Los Angeles and Hollywood, or enjoy the cultural attractions in San Francisco.


Napa Valley


Napa Valley is located north of the Bay Area in California and is known for its wine industry. It is a popular honeymoon destination because there are picturesque views at every turn, delicious wines and world class dining. Stay at a cozy bed and breakfast such as the Old World Inn, which is an award-winning B&B that was featured in Oprah Magazine. Wake up to a delicious breakfast in bed, and spend the day touring wineries in the valley. Buy tickets to the Napa Valley Wine Train, which takes you on a beautiful tour of the wine country in vintage rail cars. Make an appointment at the Greenhaus Day Spa for steams and massages. Go to Yountville and tour its many art galleries. Reserve a day for a hot air balloon ride above Napa Valley.


Los Angeles


Los Angeles is a perfect destination for newlyweds looking for variety on their honeymoon. Rent a car and take a ride down Pacific Coast Highway with your fiancé. Enjoy the fresh ocean breeze and Southern California sun rays while viewing the beaches along the highway. In the early evening, park at a secluded beach for a romantic spot and enjoy the sunset. Visit Venice Beach for an eclectic Los Angeles experience. Tour the boardwalk to watch the street performers, and impressive weightlifters pumping iron on Muscle Beach. Buy tickets to a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The Hollywood Bowl is a beautiful outdoor amphitheater that hosts world-class performers. Do as the locals do, and bring a picnic basket of gourmet food and wine to share with your fiancé during the concert. At night, dine at one of Los Angeles' hottest restaurants, such as Spago, The Ivy or Koi, where you might chance upon celebrities.


San Francisco


San Francisco is home of the famous Golden Gate Bridge, rolling hills and summer fog. It is a honeymoon destination that offers culture, art and world class shopping. Book a room at Hotel Bohème on Columbus Avenue for a Beat Generation inspired experience. It is a romantic place for newlyweds; poets and artists stay at Hotel Bohème to be inspired by the décor and surrounding environment. Take a tour of Chinatown and stay for a meal of authentic dim sum. Take a cable ride from Powell Street to the Fisherman's Warf for a beautiful view of the bay. Spend a day at Union Square, the epicenter of San Francisco's shopping district that includes department stores and high-end boutiques.
