The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa 

Enjoy a 3-night stay in a standard Fairmont room (one king or one queen bed) including daily breakfast for two in the dining room at this resort blessed by natural mineral hot springs and set in the heart of the California Wine Country. The spa’s inspiring architecture reveals pools, baths, and treatment areas unique in the West. It is a true spa, created in the grand European tradition and based on the benefits of the property’s thermal mineral springs. Santé Restaurant is the Inn’s premier dining room and has earned a national reputation for its outstanding food. Recipient of the prestigious AAA 4-Diamond award, Santé is the only restaurant in the Sonoma Valley to receive this accolade. Condé Nast Traveler said “it’s worth a special trip just to eat here” and Gourmet Magazine calls the food “the best of the new Wine Country style.” It was recently one of the few hotel restaurants in the United States to be awarded a Michelin star rating.

Benziger Family Winery (Sonoma)

Enjoy a private tour and tasting for two. To craft wines of uncommon character with a distinct sense of place commands the enthusiasm of an entire team devoted to a singular passion. At Benziger that team is a family, and their passion is Sonoma Mountain winegrowing. Learn about Benziger’s biodynamic growing practices during this behind-the-scenes vineyard tour, visit the gardens and wine caves, and taste award winning wines in a private setting while enjoying a wine-paired cheese platter.

Imagery Estate Winery, (Sonoma)

Enjoy a private tasting for two of Imagery’s special varietals. Imagery, also part of the Benziger family, is the “hidden gem” in Wine Country – a winery that produces just 9000 cases of unique, award-winning varietals that are not distributed outside of the winery. Imagery also houses the world’s largest collection of contemporary, original artwork commissioned for wine labels. Learn about the connection of art and wine, then stroll through the art gallery. Leisurely enjoy a picnic basket of locally sourced ingredients as you have lunch on Imagery’s beautiful picnic grounds.

Dedicated to crafting small quantities of rare wines from uncommon varieties and character rich vineyards, Imagery Estate Winery was born of a thirst for experimentation and willingness to take risks. After a few years of helping his family make large production wines for their Benziger brand, Joe Benziger decided that there were some vineyard lots that were just too good to get lost in a big blend. He set out to showcase these special vineyard sites in a series of small artisan wines.

It’s no wonder that Imagery was voted “2012 Best Sonoma Winery” by Bay Area locals.

The birthplace of golf and the British Open Championship, Scotland is many golfers’ dream golf vacation destination. The most popular and famous are the links courses that have evolved on sandy coastal strips which, centuries ago, were beneath the sea. Here nature is the architect, the course being fashioned out of the natural terrain rather than having design imposed upon it. All about you, there is an overwhelming atmosphere of history… knowing you are walking in the footsteps of the greats who made golf the game it is today.

Carnoustie Golf Links (Angus, Scotland)

Enjoy one round of golf for two on Carnoustie’s Championship Course.  Carnoustie is located north of St Andrews, across the Firth of Tay, in the east of Scotland.  Situated in the town of Carnoustie, Angus, the links are ranked as one of the most difficult of all the Open Championship venues with player records dating back to 1527 — even before the game reached St Andrews. In 1953, Ben Hogan came here to play in his only British Open Championship. Its historic Championship golf course has hosted the Open Championship seven times, the Senior British Open in 2010, and most recently the Women’s British Open in 2011. Carnoustie is approximately 27 miles (55 minutes) by car from St Andrews.

The Championship Course – “A Monster” or “the Beast” are terms most associated with the Carnoustie Golf Links’ Championship Course, nearly universally acknowledged as the most difficult course in Scotland. Prior to the 1937 Open Championship, the final three holes were redesigned by James Wright, who produced what has come to be regarded as the toughest finishing stretch in golf.  The Carnoustie Championship Course is now in the finest condition it has ever been. Not only does it offer the ultimate challenge to every golfer but it provides a playing quality second to none. (6,941 Yards/Par 72)  Note: Players must be at least 14 years of age.

Fairmont St Andrews / The Torrance Course

Originally designed by Sam Torrance, the Torrance Course is now re-designed with eight new holes and classic Scottish revetted bunkering throughout Scottish style links design. This course is a test for all levels from tour professionals to amateur golfers. With beautiful sea views and intricate USGA greens, the Torrance Course is one of Scotland’s finest. (7,230 Yards/Par 72)

Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is considered a sport or a hobby by some, and an art form by others. Call it what you want, fly fishing is a pleasurable pastime built on the camaraderie of the anglers themselves, the oceans, lakes and rivers they fish, and the beautiful fish they pursue. In the U.S., fly fishermen spend most of their time pursuing trout, particularly rainbow trout. Other types of trout include golden, steelhead, brown, brook and lake trout. There’s nothing better than the push and pull of a fly line, and the sight of a fish rising to take that perfectly placed fly.

Recommended destinations:

• Colorado Springs, Colorado River          [Hyatt Place Colorado Springs, Summerfield Suites Colorado Springs]

Freshwater Bass Fishing

Bass fishing is one of the most popular types of angling in the U.S., particularly popular in the Southeast. Fishing for largemouth bass is a vacation choice good both for inexperienced anglers and skilled competitors. That is not to say bass fishing is easy, just not overly complicated. Bass are worthy adversaries, often hungry, and willing to fight back when hooked. That combination has seen the prevalence of bass fishing rise tremendously over the past 50 years.

Recommended destinations:

• Buffalo, Niagara River   [Hyatt Regency Buffalo]
• Florida’s Lake Okeechobee   [Hyatt Place Ft. Lauderdale, Hyatt Place Coconut Point/Ft. Myers]

Variety (Tarpon, Snook, or Redfish)

Everglades National Park is a spectacular setting for the adventurous angler to try light tackle sight fishing. From the foredeck of a quietly poled skiff, fish are visible as you navigate through the Everglades, a vast, shallow water maze of islands and creeks, wilderness lakes and hidden lagoons. If it’s your lucky day, be the true sportsman and catch the Everglades Fishing “slam” (snook, redfish and tarpon)!

Recommended destinations:

• Everglades   [Hyatt Place Ft. Lauderdale, Hyatt Place Coconut Point./Ft. Myers]

Salmon Fishing

The Pacific Northwest region provides an exceptionally rich and nurturing environment for salmon. With a local captain and crew as your guide, enjoy the abundance of salmon that run through the Puget Sound. Depending on the season, Coho, Chinook, Sockeye and Pink salmon swim through the Puget Sound to spawn in nearby rivers. Puget Sound’s near-shore region, composed of shallow saltwater, wetlands, estuaries, beaches, and bluffs, are critical zones for salmon as they make the transition from rivers to the ocean.
