I know there are quite a few CA folks on the board here. The wife and I have 2 passes for free round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the continental US and we thought CA might be a fun place to go since neither of us have been there before.
Where should we go and what are the best attractions? Suggestions? We're thinking early July for about a week. |

Not sure about tours at Anchor Steam, you'd have to contact them. I do know the Bud brewery in Fairfield has an extensive tour that I would like to go on. As far as Napa, they all charge for tastings and tours generally cost something too. Some tours you need reservations to do, so if you plan to go there pick your faves or I can recommend some. I went last summer on the paid tours and it has totally made Napa a much better experience since droves of folks are no longer there.
I'd recommend staying at Big Sur. The place is very peaceful, beautiful and affordable places can be found there. There's camping too, although I think that would be hard to pull off traveling by airplane with your gear.
Reason for edit: added some stuff
