“Wine country is the center of the good life with sunshine, fresh local cuisine, scenic active pursuits, and - of course - delicious wine!”

Wine Country - The first group of destinations is perhaps the most obvious: wine country. Did you know that every state actually makes wine? Enjoy fabulous unique wine experiences like wine cellar tours, educational vineyard walks and even the opportunity to pick your own grapes! But the experiences go way beyond wine. Visit an olive tree farm and taste all the different varieties of fresh, hand-crafted olive oils. Brush up on your culinary skills with a gourmet cooking class or savor a magnificent dinner in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Kick your morning off with sunrise yoga, a brisk mountain hike or invigorating bike ride through the vineyards. Wine country is the center of the good life with sunshine, fresh local cuisine, scenic active pursuits, and - of course - delicious wine!

Beach Resorts - No need to visit wine country for a fabulous epicurean experience! Why not combine some surf and sand with your Chardonnay? Luxury beach resorts around the country have incredible wine cellars and Wine Spectator award-winning wine lists with winemaker dinners, food pairings and cooking classes. All the resorts are family friendly and offer engaging programs for kids - giving mom and dad some relaxing time at the spa or pool - with an umbrella drink of course!
