Escape for the day to the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley and savor the fruits of its bounty. Known for its Mediterranean climate, this Valley has long possessed the perfect combination of temperature and soil to grow the grapes harvested for world-class wines. But it’s more than just wines that this region is now known for. We will learn this firsthand during a visit to a craft brewery with origins as a small-batch craft beer brewery in California’s Central Coast wine country. Since its founding in 1996, this brewery has grown into one of the biggest and most respected craft breweries in the country, scooping up piles of awards and accolades along the way. We will taste a variety of their award-winning beers before enjoying an included lunch with choice of entrée at their charming restaurant. Note: Extensive walking & standing involved.

Route 66 End of the Road Tour

Today’s adventure will begin with a complimentary churro at the Mother Road’s original Western boundary in the theater district of downtown Los Angeles and conclude at the recently designated End of The Road, The Santa Monica Pier. Along the way we will pass through Broadway and the Los Angeles theater district, drive by the Hollywood Forever cemetery where luminaries of Los Angeles history and stars of the golden screen have found permanent residence, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Dolby and Chinese Theater, the Formosa café, and the Pacific Design center. We will stop at the world-famous Farmers Market for lunch on your own. With over 30 international specialty restaurants to choose from, your taste buds can travel the world in the comfortable patio style setting. Resuming our journey after lunch, we will stop at the Beverly Hills Sculpture Park which features Ringo Star’s 800 pound chrome icon, Peace and Love amongst other fabulous 3-dimensional creations. Arriving at the Santa Monica Pier, we will sample the hand “smashed” lemonade from the original Hot Dog Stick stand that dates back to 1946. After leisurely strolling the pier’s midway, we will conclude our journey at the farthest reaches of the pier, The Route 66 Last Stop Shop, a fabulous collection of the Route’s memorabilia and the Robert Waldmire Memorial. Our drive home will be via PCH.

On this unique tour, we will see how Los Angeles has transformed from a tiny pueblo into a sprawling metropolis that is still developing at an incredible pace. Between its most historic buildings is a progressing cultural renaissance and building boom – in fact, it is the largest in over a century and has to be seen to be believed! We will be making photo stops along the way except for today’s highlight, SoFi Stadium, where we will get a behind the scenes tour! You will not believe your eyes when we see the fabulous new home to the NFL’s Rams and Chargers. Built at a cost of $5.5 billion, it is the most expensive stadium ever built in the world. During our guided, behind-the-scenes tour of this magnificent NFL stadium, you’ll experience what it’s like to be a VIP fan, broadcaster, player and more – on and off the field. Following our tour, you’ll have time to explore the official team shop offering stadium-exclusive merchandise and gear.

Let us Roll out the Red Carpet on Today’s Tour! Our day will begin at the new ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES. The $388 million project is part of an evolving stretch of Wilshire Boulevard. The Academy Museum’s intention is to create a unique and unparalleled museum experience. Achieving this has required a highly complex construction effort, renovating a 1939 L.A. landmark, building a new spherical structure that includes a 1,500-panel glass dome and joining them together to produce 300,000 square feet of spectacular public and exhibition space. The museum is devoted to the history, science, and cultural impact of the film industry. It will be the first large-scale museum of its kind in the United States. We will dine at Fogo de Chão where our Brazilian dining adventure begins at Fogo’s Market Table, where you can return as many times as you like for fresh seasonal salads, exotic vegetables, imported cheeses, smoked salmon, cured meats, seasonal soup and more. Once you are seated, the authentic Brazilian side dishes arrive – warm pão de queijo (cheese bread), crispy polenta, mashed potatoes, and caramelized bananas. Set your dining card to green and you are in the rodizio – continuous table-side service of signature cuts of meat, prepared fire-roasted and served by the gaucho chefs. The variety of meats include filet mignon, rib eye, picanha, lamb chops, chicken, sausage and more. And do not forget to leave room for dessert! Tour includes: Deluxe Motorcoach with water on board, lunch at Fogo De Chao. Admission into the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and tour guide.

On September 11, 2001, the world stopped. On September 12th, their stories moved us all. Join us when we travel to the Segerstrom Center For The Arts in Costa Mesa to see “Come From Away”, a powerful yet lighthearted musical that takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded airline passengers and a small town in Newfoundland that warmly welcomed them following the 9/11 attacks. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust and laughter, music soared into the night and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. This portrait of heroic hospitality under extraordinary pressure is nothing short of inspirational. Will have an early included dinner at Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant at Knott’s Berry Farm.
