Pre-Holiday Bliss: Exploring Malibu’s Hidden Gems and Vineyards

Escape to Malibu for a pre-holiday retreat where the weather is as inviting as the activities. With sun-kissed beaches and vineyard tours, this weekend promises relaxation and indulgence in equal measure.

A Morning of Celebrity Glamour and Coastal Beauty

As the sun rises over the Pacific, casting a golden hue across the serene beaches of Malibu, the day begins with an air of anticipation. The morning is perfect for a leisurely exploration of Malibu’s hidden gems, where the allure of celebrity homes and the natural beauty of the coastline beckon. The Celebrity Homes & Beaches Tour offers an exclusive glimpse into the lives of the rich and famous, all while indulging in the simple pleasures of wine and snacks.

Imagine yourself aboard an open-air bus, the gentle breeze carrying the scent of the ocean as you traverse the iconic Pacific Coast Highway. The tour, starting at 10:00 AM, is a delightful blend of luxury and relaxation, with stops at private beaches and scenic overlooks. As you sip on a glass of wine, the guide shares fascinating stories of Malibu’s elite, making each moment feel like a scene from a classic Hollywood film.

“Just book it! - We had looked at other similar tours but the price and the fact that it included snacks and wine is what sold us. Glad we did, because it was unmatched! Gavin was so knowledgeable and shared interesting facts, especially the ones known only to locals. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!” (Reviewed on 2024-09-21)

Afternoon Indulgence in Malibu’s Vineyards

As the morning tour concludes, the afternoon presents an opportunity to delve deeper into Malibu’s wine culture. The Vintage VW Bus Tour is a quintessential experience for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Step aboard a classic VW bus, where nostalgia meets elegance, and let the journey unfold. The tour is a curated experience, offering not just wine tasting but a narrative of Malibu’s rich viticultural heritage. As you traverse the winding roads, each vineyard stop reveals a new story, a new flavor, and a new perspective on the art of winemaking.

“Exceeded Expectations!!! - Our new 21-year-old picked this trip for her birthday present. We set out on a fantastic sunny Saturday and had a wonderful experience as well as a lot of fun & laughs. Our guide Kurt was awesome and provided the right mix of humor and fun. Our favorite moments were driving to the beach with open top, great tunes and beautiful sunshine. Really enjoyed this outing and can imagine doing it again - with Kurt, of course!!!” (Reviewed on 2024-06-25)
