With its year-round pleasant climate and endless attractions, it’s the perfect destination for large group vacations. Our rentals provide spacious layouts, high-end amenities, and prime locations to ensure your group can relax and enjoy every moment together.
When Should You Visit California with a Large Group?
California is a year-round destination, but each season brings its own unique charm. Here’s what your group can enjoy throughout the year:
Spring
Springtime in California is ideal for outdoor adventures and wine tastings. The weather is mild, making it perfect for hiking trails in Yosemite, exploring the vineyards of Sonoma, or enjoying colorful wildflower blooms.
Summer
Summer is all about beach days and outdoor fun. Southern California offers sunny skies, ideal for lounging by the pool or surfing at world-famous Los Angeles beaches like Venice and Santa Monica.
In Northern California, summer means enjoying coastal breezes in San Francisco or heading to Lake Tahoe for water sports and relaxation.
Fall
Fall in California is a dream for wine enthusiasts. The vineyards in Sonoma and Napa are at their peak with harvest season, offering vibrant scenery and wine-tasting festivals.
The cooler temperatures also make it an excellent time for exploring national parks like Joshua Tree or Big Sur. Dreaming of staying in a private oasis just a few miles away from an iconic national park? Enjoy al fresco dining and stargazing at our Wander Joshua Tree property, or relax in the hot tub and enjoy breathtaking views.
Winter
Winter in California means a mix of warm escapes and snowy adventures. Head to Palm Springs for a desert retreat, or enjoy skiing and snowboarding in Lake Tahoe.
Coastal areas like San Diego remain mild and are perfect for beachside relaxation without the summer crowds. See our Wander Healdsburg Hills activities guide for inspiration right near your chosen Wander home.
