Located just 45 minutes
north of San Francisco, the charming town of Sonoma offers the best
of California food and wine. With its shaded central plaza lined
with adobe buildings, the town is filled with boutiques, restaurants,
and galleries.
If you are looking for
a short culinary getaway, this is the trip for you. Accommodations
for the weekend are at MacArthur Place, an intimate 19th century
inn and spa situated just minutes from Sonoma's historic plaza.
Each of the inn's 35 "designer showcase" guestrooms has been individually
decorated with beautiful furnishings, oversized comforters and original
artwork. The inn's spa features the latest in massage and treatments.
You'll also enjoy two
cooking lessons at Ramekins Culinary School in Sonoma. Highly acclaimed
chefs, famous restaurateurs, cookbook authors and TV personalities
teach both demonstration and hands-on classes for all levels of
home cooks. The classes last about three hours and include recipes
and a generous sampling of all the dishes prepared.
