SAN FRANCISCO
I recently had perhaps my most adventurous eating experience. It was at Kinjo, a spare and elegant omakase restaurant in Russian Hill. At $120 per person for a nine-course meal, this is what I consider a very special occasion restaurant. The head chef, Takatoshi Toshi, who’s earned Michelin stars and wins global sushi competitions, flies in the fish from Tokyo’s oldest fish company. He serves it raw in simple preparations over rice. (Don’t even think about ordering a sushi roll.) I won’t forget seeing the moving antennae of two glistening live prawns behind the sushi counter and being told they were caught in Santa Cruz that morning before the chef proceeded to use his knife skills and place them on a plate in front of me. After that, the following course of horned sea snail seemed innocuous enough. Adventurous eaters and sushi enthusiasts, look into reservations!

TEE TIME
The Bay Area’s Best Golf Courses By Chelsea Iversen SAN FRANCISCO offers plenty of opportunities to work on your golf game.
Less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean, TPC Harding Park has views of serene Lake Merced, a practice area for putting and chipping and onsite golf instructors. The course will host the PGA Championship in 2020. Presidio Golf Course is a National Historic Landmark and a leader in environmental practices (using roughly 75 percent less pesticides than similar courses). At Lincoln Park Golf Course’s 17th hole, the Golden Gate Bridge looks like it can be reached from the tee box. This course is located in the northwestern corner of the city, where the sea meets the bay.

The bluff-top vistas from the final few holes of the Ocean Course rival those of the Monterey Peninsula. Finish your day with a sunset cocktail set to a bagpipe.

The Course at Wente Vineyards
Designed by World Golf Hall of Famer Greg Norman in 1998, this course is included on the PGA Tour’s Nationwide Tour.
Part of the 1,017 acres of San Francisco’s prized park and located just a few blocks from Ocean Beach, the friendly par 3 Golden Gate Park Golf Course is perfect for working on your short game before heading to Beach Chalet for a beer. Fleming 9 is adjacent to the 18hole TPC Harding Park and shares its challenging style and unparalleled views. The unassuming Gleneagles Golf Course at McLaren Park prides itself on having a legendary pub, dubbed “the finest 19th hole in all the Golf Kingdom.” For more great places to explore in the city visit wheretraveler.com

CLASSIC SHOPPING
Quintessential Local Retailers That Have Stood the Test of Time By Renee Brincks SOME OF THE most interesting players in San Francisco’s retail scene are the homegrown brands that have operated here the longest, like the iconic Gump’s department store. Gump family members established a Union Square shop in 1861, selling home goods and gifts to customers who amassed California Gold Rush fortunes. Owners rebuilt and restocked after the 1906 earthquake and continue carrying high-end decor, apparel and accessories. More than 150 years after opening, Gump’s displays still showcase elegant luxury goods, and a Ch’ing Dynasty gilded wood Buddha acquired in the early 20th century still overlooks the first floor.

IT'S EASY TO enjoy a lovely day in Wine Country tasting at different wineries, but there are some obstacles: crowded tasting rooms and lineups of California Cabs, Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs that start melding together. And there are always the questions around navigating Wine Country and who's going to drive responsibly between tastings (unless you use those spittoons). To avoid such tasting drags, wineries spanning Napa and Sonoma to Healdsburg and Bodega Bay have stepped up their tastings to appeal to more senses, many offering wine and food pairings and inviting guests to linger. Because they are enhanced and extended, many require reservations, so be sure to plan ahead. What's more, many wineries are happy to assist in customizing your tasting further to make sure you have an experience you'll remember. FOR OUTDOORSY TYPES CLOS PEGASE WINERY in Calistoga offers a bento box picnic with a three-wine flight on their patio or garden surrounded by lush vineyards. 1060 Dunaweal Ln., Calistoga, 707.942.4981 KUNDE FAMILY WINERY'S Mountain Top Tastings begin with a private tour of their caves followed by a coach ride to a mountaintop tasting deck overlooking the family-owned-and-operated winery and the Sonoma Valley.
