$35 - Solvang Winery Tour, Tastings & Apps for 2, Reg. $136

The Deal

Rideau Vineyard in Solvang is one of the top wineries on the Santa Ynez Wine Trail, says Wine Country Getaways, with its "historic tasting room (and) Creole touch." Two can visit this award-winning winery for a Travelzoo-exclusive wine experience including a vineyard tour, tastings, wine class, hors d'oeuvres and a bottle of wine for $35, regularly $136.

Decorated with gold medals from the 2011 Tasters Guild International and the San Francisco Chronicle, Rideau "provides simultaneous blasts from the area's ranching past and from its hand-harvested, Rhône-varietal wine-making present," says Fodor's. Two can enjoy:

• Exclusive vineyard tour, which covers the history of the adobe built in 1884, Iris Rideau’s background, the history of the second generation Beaucastel vines and the specialization in Rhône varietals

• Five 2-ounce tastings each, including the Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Red Rhone Blend

• Wine education class, with focus on wine-tasting etiquette, wine terms and wine and cheese pairings

• Hors d'oeuvres, including an assortment of cheese from Cowgirl Creamery, figs, salami, almonds and pecans (may vary)

• Bottle of wine to take home or enjoy on the grounds; choice of 2009 Estate Roussanne or a 2009 Estate Grenache Blanc ($22 value)
