When one family wanted to celebrate Mom's 75th birthday together, we put together a easygoing, no-fuss trip that mixed some favorite things and a bucket list hike: Southern Oregon wine country and the giant redwoods along the California coast.
Over five relaxed days, sisters and cousins met at a manageable regional airport, wound through wine country to a riverfront house with a hot tub, then headed south along the coast to a cozy oceanfront home near the Redwoods. Think wine tastings, backyard dinners, big hikes under ancient trees, and slow mornings in a sleepy coastal town — no rushing, no stress, no one worrying about logistics.
This is exactly the kind of trip we love putting together: fresh air, good food, easy company, lots of laughter, and designed to make mom feel special.
Fly In & Settle Into Wine Country Land in Oregon and cruise through wine country, stopping at a couple of cozy vineyards along the way. Settle into a riverfront home for the night — hot tub included — with a laid-back dinner in.
Head for the Coast A pretty drive south lands the group in a charming little coastal town. Grab a seaside lunch, pick up groceries for the house, then check into an oceanfront home for a few easy nights by the water.
Big Trees, Bigger Memories A full day wandering through a quiet grove— towering trees, easy trails, and no shortage of photo ops. End the day with a casual seafood dinner overlooking the harbor.
Explore & Celebrate A go-with-the-flow day exploring more of the coast and nearby redwood groves, with a relaxed lunch out. That evening, everyone gathers back at the house for the celebration dinner — the whole reason for the trip.
Fare thee well: Stop at the delicious bakery before the drive back to the airport, everyone heads home relaxed, bellies sore from laughing, and already talking about the next trip.
This is just one example of what a trip can look like when it's built around your family, your celebration, and your pace. Every stop, from wineries to waterfront dinners, hand picked to reveal the dream.
