Inside Scoops, Deals & VIP treats...

Just ask a Concierge

The Northern California Concierge Association membership comprises approximately 150 professional concierges representing over 50 major and world class properties in the Sonoma and Napa counties, Carmel and Monterey areas, and the San Francisco Bay Area. We have studied, trained and acquired knowledge of our profession to enhance our guest’s experience when visiting our areas. We network and share information with each other. We pride ourselves to give the best recommendations in lodging, dining, recreational and cultural activities, therapeutic and beauty needs, shopping and whimsical wants. We offer romance and lasting memories. The Northern California Concierge welcomes you into our world! Ric Lee President, Northern California Concierge Association Four ways to get the most out of your Concierge: See your Concierge as soon as you arrive, particularly if you want reservations to the hot new restaurant or tickets for the latest hot show. Many sold out shows/ restaurants will save tickets/seats just for Concierge guests.

Ask for their favorites and recommendations as no one knows the city better then Concierges. Ask them to make your reservations since they have direct contacts to get you the best table or best seating with a view to make your experience a memorable one. Ask if they have any special deals or VIP discounts. Many companies will give special discount passes to Concierge to give to guests (ask them to print VIP Tasting Passes from the Concierge Webpage of our website).
