Go where the season takes you.
Each choice has a different rhythm: Carmel for the coast, Napa for the table, or Maui for a full week of island time. The winner selects one package after being contacted.
01 · Coast + village
A few days in Carmel.
Spend four days and three nights at L’Auberge Carmel, with airfare for two, a standard rental car, Monterey Bay Aquarium admission, and a $250 Visa gift card for dining, shopping, and exploring.
02 · Wine country
A long weekend in Napa Valley.
Settle into Andaz Napa Valley for four days and three nights, with a standard rental car for exploring the valley and economy airfare for two to either Oakland International Airport or Sacramento International Airport. The package also includes a wine tasting for two at Chandon.
03 · Island time
Seven nights on Maui.
Spend seven nights at Hyatt Vacation Club at Ka'anapali Beach in a one-bedroom Mountain View accommodation. This is a lodging-only package: flights, rental car, meals, and other travel costs are not included. Availability is limited, so the winner must be flexible with their schedule.

Carmel-by-the-Sea
Where the Coast Becomes a Canvas
Rugged cliffs meet white sand beaches. Windswept cypress trees frame the Pacific. Art galleries line village streets, and the light shifts from golden to silver as the fog rolls in. This is the Monterey Peninsula — the inspiration behind our debut collection and one of three destinations in this year's choose-your-escape giveaway.
01Carmel-by-the-Sea
A Village Built for Wandering
Carmel's white sand beach sits at the end of a village with no street addresses, no chain stores, and no shortage of charm. Walk beneath ancient Monterey cypress trees along the coastal bluffs, duck into galleries and boutiques tucked inside storybook cottages, and end the evening at one of the restaurants that make this one of California's most beloved small towns.
02The Art Scene
Galleries Around Every Corner
Carmel has been an artist colony since the early 1900s. Today, dozens of galleries line the streets — from contemporary paintings and sculpture to photography and fine craft. It's the kind of place where you turn a corner and stop walking because something in a window catches your eye.
03
17-Mile Drive
The Lone Cypress & Pebble Beach
One of the most scenic drives on Earth winds through Del Monte Forest along the rocky coastline. The Lone Cypress — standing on its granite perch for over 250 years — is the most photographed tree in North America. Nearby, the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links hugs the cliffs where the Pacific crashes against the shore. Even if you never pick up a club, the views alone are worth the drive.
04Worth the Drive
McWay Falls & the Big Sur Coast
Head south from Carmel on Highway 1 and the road becomes the destination. About 45 minutes down the coast, the cliffs of Big Sur give way to one of the most photographed spots in California — McWay Falls, an 80-foot waterfall that drops straight onto a pristine cove beach in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. The walk to the overlook is barely half a mile on a mostly paved path — ten minutes and you're standing above it. The drive alone, winding along the edge of the Pacific with nothing but ocean and sky, is one of the great road trips in the world.
05Monterey
Cannery Row
Once the sardine capital of the world — immortalized by John Steinbeck — Cannery Row has reinvented itself as a waterfront destination of restaurants, shops, wine tasting rooms, and the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. The old cannery buildings still stand, their industrial bones now filled with energy and light.
06Included with Your Trip
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Perched on the edge of the Pacific at the end of Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of the finest in the world. Stand face-to-face with sea otters, watch jellyfish drift through electric blue light, and peer into the vast Open Sea exhibit. Two admission tickets are included with this trip — it's the kind of place you don't want to rush.
07Just Up the Road
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
Tucked into the golden hills east of Monterey, Laguna Seca is one of the most iconic racetracks in the world. Its famous Corkscrew turn — a blind, downhill left-right with a five-and-a-half-story elevation drop — has to be seen to be believed. Whether or not there's a race weekend during your visit, the track and surrounding area are a destination of their own.
