We’ll spend two nights at the newly renovated Ranch at the Oasis of Death Valley. We’ll venture out for the day with a local guide to discover this fascinating place where we’ll encounter spectacular wildflower displays, snow‐covered peaks, beautiful sand dunes, abandoned mines, and the lowest spot in North America! Death Valley National Park also harbors some of the darkest night skies in the United States offering some of the best stargazing you’ve ever experienced. That dark sky is key to its certification as the largest Dark Sky Park in the U.S. National Park System. After two tranquil nights under the starry sky, we’ll travel to the bright lights of fabulous Las Vegas for an overnight stay and gaming fun at the Golden Nugget Hotel Casino.

The Painted Cabernet speaks to the artist in all of us. The upscale urban studio is located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. If you haven’t painted since elementary school, step into The Painted Caber-net, and your inner artist will be rekindled. Our instructional artist will walk you step by step through the painting experience giving one-on-one instruction while affording you the freedom to create. The studio offers fabulous wines from the Santa Barbara region, allowing you to “sip and stroke in style.”
