Yahoo Finance Here’s How to Have One Spectacular Day in California’s Monterey County
We asked Jorge Macias, the concierge of Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, to plan a single, spectacular day in Monterey county...
1. Private tour of Carmel Valley wineries
Fly to Monterey Airport via Surf Air, the first private air-travel club in the U.S. I'd have our private driver take you to Monterey Peninsula's own wine corridor in Carmel Valley for a private tour of Jack Galante's wine estate.

2. Spa at Pebble Beach
Afterward, a few hours of luxury pampering at the Spa at Pebble Beach, followed by a late lunch at the Bench, which overlooks the 18th hole of the world-famous Pebble Beach golf course.

4. Stargazing session at Post Ranch Inn
To culminate the night in Big Sur style, you'll head back to Post Ranch Inn for a late-night stargazing session with our in-house astronomers, who will instruct on the constellations and teach you how to use our 14-inch Meade telescope.
