Angelenos, get ready for a super-fun staycation with this ultimate summer bucket list
This city may have great weather throughout the year, but summer is arguably the best time to explore Los Angeles, with longer days, cooler nights and an endless list of things to do. To celebrate the season, we teamed up with Francis Coppola Diamond Collection wines to bring you some of the best summertime adventures you can have right here in your favorite city.
Whether it’s Dirty Dancing at Cinespia in Hollywood Forever Cemetery or Raiders of the Lost Ark at Rooftop Cinema Club on a Downtown rooftop, L.A. has screenings almost every night. Grab some popcorn and a bottle of red—and don’t forget a bottle opener!
Settle into the bleachers with a beer (or glass of wine, if that’s more your thing) and some cracker jack to root for the home team—then grab a cheap bite or drink after the game. Go blue!
Catching a show under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl is a summertime rite of passage for all Angelenos. The best part? You can pack your own picnic spread and your favorite wine—we recommed the Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon—to enjoy during the show.
Head to Echo Park Lake for a stroll, quick bite or a pedal around the lake. You can pedal to the middle and lounge in the sun, letting your boat drift past lotus flowers and families of ducks.
Forgo your sad brown bagged lunch in favor of one of L.A.’s best mobile eateries. Order at the truck window and find a bench or shady patch of grass; there’s nothing like alfresco dining in the middle of the day.
Grab a bud and a sturdy pair of boots for a hike that will take you past the Griffith Park Observatory and the Hollywood Sign for a view overlooking the entire city. It’s a haul that will definitely earn you a glass (or three) of wine afterward.
There are tons of free summer concerts and theater productions across the city this summer—and some even let you bring your own booze. Grab a bottle of Diamond Collection Pinot Grigio and get ready to groove.
Watch one of L.A.’s gorgeous sunsets at a rooftop bar where the views rightfully rival the booze, whether you’re overlooking the ocean or a twinkling city skyline.
Lace up a comfortable pair of shoes for L.A.'s finest music festivals, from free neighborhood fests to camping excursions that extend into the fall.
Stroll along Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the beach-adjacent street filled with unique boutiques, beach cruisers and hip bars and coffee shops. Grab a latte or glass of wine when you need a shopping break.
