The Home Tour Legacy

Home Tour has come a long way since the first Kitchen Tour in 1995, when it was limited to one room in the house. In 1997 it was renamed the Home and Kitchen Tour. Back then the tour included an exciting luxury raffle, gourmet luncheon, and home boutique. In 2001, the decision was made to drop the word “Kitchen” altogether to give the event its current-day title of Home Tour. 

From the views of Sea Cliff to the heights of SOMA, the annual Home Tour has taken guests through the most exclusive neighborhoods in San Francisco. This year we are proud to celebrate 26 years of Home Tour and the women whose tireless efforts have made each event a unique success.
