Bachelor/ette Parties

The Bay Area is a spectacular place for every kind of bachelorette. From a wine country exploration in Sonoma or Napa to an outdoorsy adventure in Marin County to a day and night out on the town in San Francisco, we’ve planned all kinds of bachelorettes. Here’s what one of our groups did for their friend Inessa’s bachelorette:

Friday

It is obviously worth taking the extra day off work to make a trip to Napa or Sonoma. Some of our favorite vineyards here are Cline and Jacuzzi, but the list of great places to visit is long. (Pro tip for a wine-tasting day: Pick at most three to four vineyards to visit, keeping them close together, make sure to scout out a lunch spot (Gott’s Roadside in Napa, for example) and get a driver or bike.)

Saturday

After a brunch at the apartment they were staying in, the ladies headed to a dance class for a dance workshop (and recorded a final choreographed dance together) plus some customized bubbly for the group.

Then it was back to the house for bachelorette games and getting ready for a night out. We arranged a limo to dinner at Mamacita, a Mexican restaurant with to-die-for guacamole and inventive tacos and then it was out to dance until early morning with bottle service at Audio Discotech. (Pro tip: Looking for late night food? The best chicken and waffles in town can be found at Box Kitchen in SoMa.)

Picking from the wide variety of fantastic brunch options available in San Francisco, the group had a late brunch at NOPA and then roamed Hayes Street, lined with chic shops and cafes, before heading home. (Another pro tip: There are some surprisingly good food options in the airport in San Francisco if you need one more meal to tide you over on your flight home!)
