Although not along a coast or body of water, the Napa Valley Wine Country is a beautiful place for a scenic bike ride. Start in picturesque Yountville and take the less crowded Silverado Trail that parallels CSR 29. You will find yourself surrounded by the yellow mustard fields in the spring and vineyards that stretch for miles that for a moment, you might think you were in Tuscany. You can not go wrong with a bike ride here any time of year. After an invigorating ride, you can enjoy a leisurely picnic and a wine tasting or two at a choice of wineries, including Duckhorn and Rutherford Hill.

"Learn about the 19th-century Native Americans and ranchers who lived in the fertile valleys as you ride through golden meadows surrounded by tree-covered mountains." Brace yourself for the views from the summit of Bald Mountain, where on a clear day, you might see San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.

This is American cooking at its absolute pinnacle. Perfectionist chef Thomas Keller coaxes otherworldly flavors and textures from once familiar ingredients. His famous salmon tartare "ice cream cone" is the first clue that there's alchemy in the kitchen, and the subsequent parade of nine courses confirms it: Keller is the nation's foremost curator of ingredients and flavors.

The footpaths in Bothe-Napa Valley State Park, a peaceful swatch of green just down the road from the Beringer winery, provide a perfect way to work off food-and-wine-related excess.
