LADIES’ DAY (AND NIGHT) OUT
MARK THE HAPPY OCCASION WITH A WEEKEND OF SHOPPING, SPA
TREATMENTS AND A TASTE OF LIVERMORE VALLEY’S FINE WINES.
> Skip Starbucks and head straight to Sideboard for a potent dose of
artisanal coffee. Coffee not your speed? Don’t worry: They’ve got mimosas
and spicy bloody marys, too. Indulge in puffy beignets or a sour cream
scone while planning your itinerary on the sunny patio or in the eclectic
dining area—complete with a sideboard, of course. itsonthesideboard.com
> Dive into the world of retail at the San Francisco Premium Outlets located
in Livermore—the largest outlet center in California. For boutique bounties,
head to Main Street in Pleasanton or Prospect Avenue in Danville,
where local fashionista faves such as Prim, Drift Co. and Flaunt will help
you keep on trend. premiumoutlets.com/outlet/san-francisco, iloveprim.

> Before the big day, say goodbye to stress and hello to the relaxing wonders
of The Purple Orchid Wine Country Resort & Spa. Get revitalized with
the spa’s signature Hand Prints massage, an 80-minute experience that
incorporates rosemary olive oil made at the property, along with warm
towels, compression, light stretching, and acupressure on your back and
feet. purpleorchid.com

> Need to “wine” down? Take in the scenery
at one of the numerous wineries in Livermore
Valley wine country, where tasting
flights await. For a tour of the region, hop
aboard the Livermore Wine Trolley and sip
sans stress. livermorewinetrolley.com
> Channel your inner Picasso at the Danville
outpost of Pinot’s Palette, where wine and
paint join forces to release even the most
suppressed creative spirits. Enjoy strokeby
stroke instruction, with a paintbrush
in one hand and a glass of sauv blanc in the
other. pinotspalette.com/danville
> Every Thursday evening during the
summer, Sin City meets Pleasanton in the
enormous outdoor backyard at Barone’s.
Stiff cocktails, live bands and questionable
outfits are worth every penny of the $20
cover. Tip: Reserve a cabana for a home base
(and a place to hold court) after you let loose
on the dance floor. baronespleasanton.com
