What advice would you give a tour operator regarding
packaging your area? What advice would you give a tour operator regarding

We are close to Santa Barbara, but we give groups access to
lower midweek rates. You can combine a two-night stay in
Solvang with team-building options, wine-blending workshops,
painting in a vineyard or learning how to bake like the pros. Everything there is to do and see in Southern California is just
about an hour away, which makes the Temecula Valley a great
hub for day trips to San Diego, Orange County, Palm Springs and
Los Angeles.
