San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2005 -- Donna West of Lighthouse Travel & Tours is offering a unique 3-Day Wine Tour with an optional cruise afterwards in May 2005. The focus is on California wine tasting and sightseeing along the California coastline, discovering the central coast wineries. The tour starts in San Jose, CA, and finishes in Los Angeles where the guests will have the option of going aboard a ship for a relaxing cruise or simply return home on their own.
West, Owner and Professional Tour Director said, We are excited about offering this all-in-one, extended-day California vacation, and I will be personally escorting the trip. It is a different type of an adventure, short and very economical for our guests."
West has built Lighthouse on a strong foundation of customer service for the private day tours she organizes in the San Francisco Bay Area where she recently won Best Guided Tour" from the Silicon Valley Concierge Association at their April 2004 Hospitality Awards. As a result, each tour has an individual flair, catering to the tastes of the client and the personal stories provided by the local tour guide.
Wests popular day wine tours of local Santa Clara Valley and Santa Cruz Mountains inspired this 3-day Wine Tour highlighting this other wine country along the central coast.
Is it an educational or leisure trip? It is both. People will have fun tasting wine and talking with the winery personnel. They will also learn some of the secrets of why so many people are coming to Californias central coast. They will be able to relax and enjoy the trip with their new friends, letting Professional Tour Directors organize the trip for them.
There will be another Professional Tour Director present – thus offering the guests the added customer service they deserve," says West.
We usually have two Professional Tour Directors on tours that I organize, which separates Lighthouse tours from tours that other companies provide. Our guests not only receive the value added service they deserve, our guests gain different perspectives of the stories both guides share," adds West. And, our groups are smaller which makes the tours more enjoyable for our guests."
Tour Directors share stories of the family owned wineries, plus stories about the California central coast. This is something that you will miss if you try to drive this route on your own. The Tour Directors will also organize the details of the trip such as: ensuring the hotels are focused on making your stay comfortable, verifying that your baggage is safe and present, and preparing each days itinerary details for you while you are enjoying the sights.
My best ideas have come from listening to what people want. I try to focus on what our guest truly wants by creating unique experiences and memories off the beaten path or within familiar areas. I give my guests the tools through my information that allows them to discover new places on their own when they have their free time on my tours," says West.
As I am a traveler from the baby boom generation; I know that the freedom to discover on your own is important to the busy professional during vacations. This freedom allows my customers to have their own enriching experience on a vacation while at the same time making new friends and memories as they travel with a group," adds West.
The tour departs in Northern California from Clarion Hotel San Jose Airport in San Jose, Capital of Silicon Valley. The hotel is accessible to the San Jose International Airport and guests will explore Californias other Wine Country by motor coach for 3 nights. Some wineries that will be visited are: Harmony Vineyards, one of the best kept secrets on the central coast, along with Edna Valley Vineyards, Firestone Vineyards, and Fess Parker Vineyards.
Other attractions include the magnificent Hearst Castle, historical Mission San Luis Obispo De Tolosa, peaceful Pismo Beach, Solvang, the Danish Capital of America, and of course, a tour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Breakfast and Dinner are included with the motor coach portion, leaving lunch available for guests to explore. Guests will have the option to book a 4-day cruise at the end of their tour or simply return home.
