ONEHOPE Wine

Why You’ll Love It

  • Wines by Robert Mondavi, Jr.
  • Wines have been served at past GRAMMYs, Sundance Film Festival, and VH1 Save the Music events
  • As of March 12, 2013, Over $1,000,000 raised for causes including autism, breast cancer, and childhood hunger

Ever wondered what attendees have sipped from their wine glasses at past GRAMMYs, Sundance, and VH1 Save the Music? Well, now you know: for many, it’s ONEHOPE Wine. Crafted by winemaker Robert Mondavi, Jr., ONEHOPE Wine is designed to help you do good while drinking well.

Uncork a bottle of California Cabernet Sauvignon and swirl your glass to unleash aromas of spicy, complex flavors like black cherry. You and your guests may enjoy the scent of fresh apple blossom and honeysuckle as you sip a glass of chardonnay before a holiday meal. Spice up a quiet evening with someone special thanks to a pinot noir.

Whether you choose red or white (or some of both), cheers to the knowledge that ONEHOPE Wine donates 50% of its profits to partner charities benefitting efforts like cancer research, environmental sustainability, and support for America’s armed forces.

CLEAR LAKE BED AND BREAKFAST

Why You’ll Love It

  • Private hot tubs with views of the lake
  • Plantation-style charm with modern amenities
  • Strolling distance from downtown eateries and shopping

Some use yoga to decompress. Others a glass of wine. For our money a private hot tub overlooking a lake at sunset trumps them both. Soak away stress and reconnect with calm at Clear Lake Bed and Breakfast.

You don’t have to be a watersport or fishing or hiking or all-of-these enthusiast to enjoy Lakeport; just a relaxation enthusiast. Whether you stroll into town for a leisurely bite, sleep till noon, or just hang your legs over the end of the dock, the only imperative here is peaceful living.

THE INN AT EUROPA VILLAGE

Why You’ll Love It

  • European ambiance in Southern California
  • Best “Breakfast Experience” in Southern California from Chef Dean
  • Set on five acres of rolling green hills

Take a trip to Europe sans the 12-hour flight. Spanish, French, and Italian culture inspire the charming décor and delicious wine of The INN at Europa Village. This recently remodeled B&B may offer a new take on Temecula’s famed wine country, but the take-it-slow feel is all Old World.

Start your day off right. And by “right” we mean with Chef Dean’s “Breakfast Experience” prepared with seasonal, homegrown ingredients. You’re going to need fuel for a day spent experiencing some of the best that Temecula Valley Wine Country has to offer, such as hot air balloon rides, horseback rides, and olive oil tasting.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Pull up a chair around the patio’s six-foot fire pit for nightly sangria hour—we can’t think of a better way to celebrate a day well spent.

RIVIERA RESORT & SPA

Why You’ll Love It

  • Voted Best of the Best Hotel by Palm Springs Life
  • Posh guest rooms with mid-century décor
  • World-class golf, shopping, and vistas

Does the retro-chic fashion and glam of Mad Men make you swoon? Then it’s obvious you should vacay in a beyond first-class spot worthy of Don Draper and Roger Sterling—in other words, Riviera Resort & Spa.

Opened in 1959, the Riviera instantly became a go-to hotspot for celebrities and socialites seeking the ultimate Southern California getaway—and things haven’t changed much since then. Gorgeous weather and luxurious guest rooms sporting pool, garden, and mountain vistas make days spent cultivating the perfect shade of bronze or relaxing with on-site spa treatments even sweeter.
