Hotel Oceana Santa Barbara offers value package for stylish beach bums with a sense of adventure and great taste in wines

Hotel Oceana has teamed up with Cloud Climbers Jeep Tours to offer guests an adventure from the beach to one of the most important emerging wine regions in the country. Guests will experience Santa Barbara’s Wine Country with a professional driver from Cloud Climbers Jeep Tours, www.ccjeeps.com, who will guide them in a custom Jeep Wrangler, allowing wide-open, mountain and ocean views along back-country roads and oak-shaded canyons. Passengers will discover insights about area history, wildlife and Santa Barbara County’s wine industry as they venture through the Santa Ynez Mountains, past Lake Cachuma and into the Santa Ynez Valley, heart of the Santa Barbara Wine Region. The six-hour tour features stops at four of the area’s finest wineries to sip and savor a variety of award-winning wines. Patrons will be invited to discuss their wine preferences with their guide; ensuring winery visits are compatible with their personal taste. Mid-day, a casual gourmet picnic lunch for two is served in one of the many picturesque vineyards. After a leisurely afternoon of wine sampling, head back to the ocean with your “designated driver” guide, via mountain passes near Reagan Ranch and along the Pacific. A keepsake 16-ounce connoisseur wine glass is given as a souvenir reminder of this delicious journey. All tasting fees as well as door to door pick-up and drop-off at Hotel Oceana are complimentary. Upon return to the hotel, guests may walk across the boulevard to feel the warm sand and enjoy a colorful California sunset.

This package includes a guest room with king bed, Sunday through Thursday, from $449 per couple. Subject to room availability with advance reservations. For reservations or more information call (800) 965-9776 or visit www.hoteloceana.com.
