Things To Do
The Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill
Great seafood bar and grill on Lake Merritt
Drake's Dealership
A former garage in Oakland that was repurposed to be a garage. Great local beers and pizzas. This feels like Josh C's vibe :)
Roses' Taproom
Bar with some good natural wine options in the heart of Temescal, Oakland area.
A16
Fantastic restaurant that serves Italian food.
Pizzaiolo
Cholita Linda
Great cuban food and tacos restaurant. Highly recommend the cuban sandwich
Burma Superstar
Delicious southeast asian food!
Two Pitchers Brewing Company
Great brewery with indoor and outdoor patio in Oakland. The burgers from Lovely's are amazing.
Kingfish Pub & Cafe
Old and classic Oakland bar in the Temescal neighborhood. Great beers and super walkable to next stop.
Nick's Pizza and Bakery Made in Oakland
Delicious pies and it's close to our place :)
La Note
A fantastic French-style brunch spot to visit. Ask for the back-patio if it's available. Usually busy on the weekends
Napa / Sonoma Wine Country
Some of the best wine in California is about an hour drive from Berkeley. We recommend Sonoma as it's just as good, but cheaper, than Napa. For Sonoma, we recommend MacRostie, Gloria Ferrer, or Viansa wineries.
South Lake Tahoe
For those staying longer than just the wedding, we recommend visiting South Lake Tahoe. About a 3 hour drive from Berkeley. It has beautiful mountain scenery, plenty of hotels and bars, and a crystal blue lake. We recommend checking out Zephyr Cove while you're there.
Yosemite National Park
Hands down one of our favorite places. Yosemite national park is only a few hours drive from the Bay Area. Due to so much guest traffic, we recommend looking into lodging or glamping spots in nearby towns. We stayed at Yosemite Pines Resort during last years RV trip, and they had shuttle buses to drive you into and out of Yosemite at the end of the day. You'll also need to make sure you check out the Yosemite website for more details and travel restrictions. Download Alltrails to find the best hikes.
