The region offers a wide variety of options for those looking for a special dinner at one of our 19 MICHELIN-recognized restaurants or a power lunch.

In the mood for wine? In a destination that has “Everything California”, of course, you’d expect wineries, and you will not be disappointed. The City of San Carlos offers the Mid-Peninsula Wine Trail, which is made up of small, urban wineries, all located within walking distance, while Half Moon Bay is home to coastal wineries offering wonderful wines. No matter what you're looking for, wine lovers will find it all at one of our wineries on The San Francisco Peninsula.

Looking for the freshest cuisine during your visit? Many of the local restaurants on The San Francisco Peninsula are part of the “As Fresh as it Gets” program, which rewards and promotes local establishments that take advantage of our local agriculture in order to serve outstanding fresh and local food.
