Experience San Francisco like you never have before - with a gaggle of gay men ready for fun! A city of alternative vibes and whimsical life, San Francisco is the home of flower power, free love and Gay Pride! San Francisco's hilly streets, lined with charming Victorian homes, provide breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The city is a rich mosaic, crafted from the colorful tiles of bustling Chinatown, the gentrifying Mission, gay Castro, clubby SoMa, hippie Haight-Ashbury and faux-hemian North Beach.

FRIDAY, experience Halloween in the Castro! This is San Francisco's wildest night of the year! Join the party when thousands of costumed revelers and throngs of gay men flood the streets, restaurants, bars and clubs of the Castro! Vibrant and scintillating costumes abound, from fabulously done-up drag queens, to sexy sailormen, to glittery bare-chested angelboys. Bare what you dare!
SATURDAY night we'll be seen at AsiaSF Restaurant, Lounge & Dance Club, one of the city's hottest new nightspots. Amid the bamboo-clad walls and shoji screens the evening's entertainment unfolds on the blazing red runway where the 'gender illusionist' waitstaff heat up the night with outrageous performances. Drag, stylish decor, music, dancing, Cal-Asian cuisine and festive cocktails await!
SUNDAY we'll enjoy a Napa Valley Day Trip, complete with Winery Tours and Tastings! Renowned for its prime wines, golden vineyards and scenic vistas, Napa Valley promises to fill your senses and revive your spirit. Aboard a private coach with our personal tour guide, we will stop in the town of Napa and visit Francis Ford Coppola's vineyards and movie museum. Then it's on to Domaine Chandon Winery for a tasting and tour to learn about the champagne making process, followed by a tour & tasting at Charles Krug Winery, the first winery founded in the Napa Valley.
