Experience Wine Country Website is Geared to Growing Body of Wine Travelers

The Travel Industry Association's recent report reveals there is a strong and growing body of travelers interested in culinary and wine related travel. The website experience-wine-country.com aims to help these travelers plan their wine tours.

(PRWEB) March 2, 2007 -- In a recent report put together by the Travel Industry Association, Gourmet Magazine and the International Culinary Tourism Association, it was found that culinary and wine related tourism is booming.

These mostly younger, educated and financially well off travelers increasingly seek out wine and food festivals when choosing their destination. They want to really experience the local flavors by immersing themselves in unique dining, wine tasting and other activities.

The website www.experience-wine-country.com aims to help these travelers plan their wine country tours. The online guide provides information on various wine regions in California, Oregon and Virginia. California wine country areas covered include Napa Valley, Sonoma, Temecula, Santa Barbara and the central coast.

After reading about the unique qualities of various wine trails and deciding which one to visit, prospective wine travelers can browse over the winery listings. These tell about tours, picnic facilities, and other special features, so they can decide which wineries to fit into their driving tour.

Other features of the site include accommodation information, with bed and breakfast inns being especially popular in wine country. There is also information on tours available, from limos to hot air balloons.

The Wine Country Gifts N Things gift shop is provided on the site for those who want to give gifts to fellow wine lovers, or buy themselves a nice wine picnic backpack to take on their next excursion.

Founder and owner of www.experience-wine-country.com is Laura Eggers, who used to live in Sonoma County and was taken by the atmosphere in the Valley of The Moon. "You don't even have to drink wine to enjoy the magic of wine country."
