Article 5 Girlfriend Retreat

Imagine venturing off into new territory, getting away from the daily grind, stress and workload. Breathing fresh air, enjoying rolling hills of the vineyards and reconnecting with your friends! Wine tasting is just what you need to do so. There is nothing like an escape to wine country to revitalize friendships, renew your spirit and take the weight of the world off of your shoulders. Michele McNeal, Customer Service at Executive VIP Shuttle highly recommends this great adventure. Whether you are familiar with wine country or are new to the scene-it will be a day you will remember for a long time.

Beautiful Temecula Valley, which is located a quick drive from either San Diego or Los Angeles and Orange County, is a hidden gem. Boasting over 30 wineries, many of which are known for their award winning wines, are eager to make your day complete. Wine tasting is a great way to sample wines, allowing you to purchase your favorites to take home and enjoy later. Most importantly, you can schedule a wine tasting tour, allowing professionals to drive you, while you taste without the worry. Take Executive VIP Shuttle, they offer private and personalized wine tours with extensive information of all of the wineries. Most importantly, information on the award winning wineries-and there are quite a few. “Many of the wineries have gained a respectable reputation and have been awarded for having the most impressive wines.” Commented McNeal “Temecula Valley Wine Country is right in our back yard!” she added.

There is nothing like reconnecting with your friends. “Oftentimes, we get caught up in the day to day routine, and we forget to take care of ourselves and our close friends” Michele commented. “I don’t think that there is a better time than having that great roaring laugh-like you do when you get together with your long lost girlfriends” she added.

You can meet the vintners, get a first hand perspective on how wine is produced and take in the impressive valley while sipping your favorite wine. McNeal also suggests you take a picnic along and enjoy lunch while on your wine tour. While on your wine tour, you have access to the vehicle and driver, allowing you to keep your belongings close by. There are plenty of places to enjoy a picnic, so when you do see that perfect setting, with an inviting picnic table near by, you can spread out and enjoy your lunch.

If you live local, you can make a day of it while being picked up for the wine tour, at your home. For those who live a distance away, consider getting a room at either a local hotel or a Bed and Breakfast. Splitting the cost among girlfriends will make it very affordable. McNeal suggested. Especially with the economy right now, you can get away, have fun and save enough money to take wine home to enjoy later. So pack your comfortable clothes, sunglasses and friends and go wine tasting! It will be one of those adventures that you talk about for years to come!
