August 13, 2024 (IRVINE, CA) – With California’s famed wine harvest season nearing, KSL Resorts – a full-service hospitality company that manages world-class destination resorts and hotels with outstanding recreational amenities – introduces its new “Crushing on Local Wine” package, available throughout the company’s diverse California portfolio: Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach, Silverado Resort, Pismo Lighthouse Suites, The Piccolo, Shore Cliff Hotel, Paso Robles Inn, Avila Lighthouse Suites and Fairmont Grand Del Mar.
All guests who book the package receive up to 25% off best available rate at select properties, a bottle of proprietary regional wine as well as automatic entry into the Crushing on Wine Sweepstakes, featuring a three-night stay at Silverado Resort in Napa Valley, Calif., and a private tour, tasting and culinary experience at ONEHOPE, a Silverado Resort partner, which has introduced its flagship winery in the heart of Napa Valley.

Each participating property is near some of California’s most outstanding wine regions – Temecula Valley, Central Coast Wine Country, Napa Valley and Baja California’s Valle de Guadalupe – allowing guests to sample fine vintages and experience the unique beauty of wine country.”
