It’s the home of sunshine, tanning, celebrity chefs, movie stars, healthy living and did I mention sunshine? California is one of the most diverse destinations on Earth and a drive up along her exhilarating coast is at the top of most peoples bucket lists.
Myself and Guest Editor, Jayne Gage, took to the wheel of a white convertible Mustang (we revelled in the cliche) and drove north from LA to Mendocino, then back down to San Francisco. On our journey we gorged on Californian fare, slept in heavenly hotels, danced with the locals and gasped at the beauty of the sunset as it dipped into the Pacific Ocean.
This is the QH guide to the Golden State, so sit back as we take a deep dive not only into the rooftop pools but the best restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards.
