California Restaurant Month: splurge, savor, save in January.
Sexy outdoor cafes in Southern California, ultra-fresh ingredients in Northern California, just-caught seafood along the coast—virtually every corner of the state has extraordinary restaurants, bistros, and cafes. You can sample California’s incredible variety of dining experiences year-round, but in January, there is even more reason to try them out. Welcome to California Restaurant Month, a month-long statewide celebration of special offerings and events. Treat yourself to that urban hotspot you’ve always wanted to try, or plan a quick getaway (and a great meal) in gorgeous wine country, along the dramatic coast, or at a cozy mountain retreat. Look for special deals on a host of experiences, including:
• celebrity chef dinners
• wine-pairing specials
• gourmet prix-fixe events
More tasty news: Check our events listings for restaurant and wine & dine festivals throughout the year. And search our site for inspiration on what to see and do no matter where you visit—perhaps places to shop for a slinky little something to wear to that ultra-posh restaurant. Or maybe a calorie-burner hike or bike ride…so you can go out and eat again. Start dreaming—and planning—now.
