• Chateau St. Jean - Sonoma

I highly recommend purchasing a bottle of wine and sitting out in the rose courtyard or by the bocce court for more shade.

• The Beehive, San Francisco

This Mad Men-inspired cocktail lounge, located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission district, is a unique conglomerate of old and new. And though its signature, namesake concoction is a laid-back affair of gin, honey, lemon and ginger, it’s the cocktails mixed with traditional Martini & Rossi Ambrato and bitter, like Bachelor #3 and Moda Royale, that caught our eye. For something tart, the Thunderbird is Campari-forward with a hit of lime, tonic, thyme and passion fruit, while the Quimbara is a celebration of an alcoholic slushie, swirled with Aperol, rum and lime. Nostalgia is served on all levels, with a retro food menu including fondue, though with these lighter drinks, you might want to gravitate towards the ceviche, coconut shrimp and fish sliders.

• Bar Clacson, Los Angeles

A neighborhood hangout in the city of angels, this airy, international spot boasts a bodega upfront, serving paninis and bruschetta, as well as cheese and charcuterie boards. Once you grab your snack, snake your way back to the long wooden bar or hang out at the full-size petanque court. A notable list of spritz and sherry-based drinks include Campari and whiskey forward Garibaldi and the Clack_Dack, shaken with Amaro Angeleno, cracked pepper, blood orange and lime. The bar’s riff on a classic spritz, served long, will help you get through the day, combining white wine, lemon juice, prosecco and water. A seven day a week happy hour offers $10 cocktails along with small bites.

• Grand Central Market (Los Angeles)

Opened in 1917, Grand Central Market is a Los Angeles institution. Spread across its 30,000-square-foot arcade is everything from a traditional Latin grocery to an authentic Berlin currywurst spot. Sure, you can buy your week's worth of fruits and vegetables here, but as of the last few years, you'll also find some of LA's hippest food purveyors, including sandwich-focused Eggslut, modern Jewish delicatessen Wexler's Deli, falafel emporium Madcapra and more.

• Oxbow Public Market (Napa, Calif.)

Napa isn't just for wine. This fertile corner of California is also famous for its grander agricultural bounty, on full display in the city's famous Oxbow Public Market. The 40,000-square-foot marketplace, which opened about a decade ago along the Napa River, is home to local food vendors and cafes like cult burger spot Gott's Roadside, legendary oyster purveyor Hog Island Oyster Co., charcuterie and butcher shop Fatted Calf and small-batch craft spirits specialist Napa Valley Distillery.

• Ferry Building Marketplace (San Francisco)

The Marketplace in San Francisco's historic Ferry Building, which opened in 2003, arguably heralded the begining of a food hall renaissance that's since spread across the country. Merchants like Acme Bread Company, Blue Bottle Coffee, Boulettes Larder and more can be found lining the building's dramatic indoor street—the Nave—making it a must-visit destination.

• River tubing - Russian River

Floating this exceptionally lazy river is one of the most popular summer activities in Sonoma County, so go during the week if you want a less crowded experience. The move here is to get in the water at Steelhead Beach and end your trip at Sunset Beach, which is a two-mile journey that takes about four hours to complete.

• Konbi - LA
• Trick Dog - SF
• Nari, San Francisco, CA

The biggest problem at Nari will be choosing which cocktail to try next. A sister restaurant of New York’s beloved Kin Khao, this two-level Thai palace pairs bold seasonal flavors with an ambitious cocktail menu broken up into punch, standard cocktails, low-alcohol and zero-proof. The punches are sized for sharing so you’ll have to bring friends to sample concoctions like the Tua Kua, with whiskey, amber vermouth, lime, peanut orgeat, cacao and bitters.
