Finding The Best LA Wine Tour

A trip to Los Angeles without stopping by a vineyard is like a trip to Denver without visiting a brewery. It just seems like something is missing. Thousand Oaks, CA is part of Simi Valley, home to many excellent vineyards.

A wine tour takes this a step further. Instead of just visiting a single you visit a handful of them. At each one you have an opportunity to sample some of the wines specific to that vineyard. When the tour is over you’ll have sampled many of the wines available from the region.

Details, Details

Planning a tour like this on your own is a daunting task. The task is even harder if it’s your first time visiting the area. With no knowledge of where the vineyards are located, the best routes to take from one to the next, or what types of wine each specializes in you are looking at a mountain of research. Even after doing your research you can’t be sure you’re making the most of your time, or budget. To get the best wine tour you need help.

Find a Tour

If you know some people that live in the region, you can connect with them to get your planning done. Without those connections, you’ll need to look for help elsewhere. California has some companies that specialize in nothing more than organizing wine tours for tourists. Their offerings range from a simple consultation to full multi-day private wine tasting extravaganzas, including limo service. Likewise, their prices range from relatively cheap to extremely expensive.

The best wine tour for you depends on your taste and budget. Truthfully, working with a local company you’re almost guaranteed a great tour. Rest assured they can find a tour to match your experience level and budget.

Designated Driver

The biggest problem with taking yourself on a wine tour lies in the driving. Sampling many varieties of wine and driving a car just don’t mix very well. Whether you go for a full-service wine tour or stick to your own research you should consider some type of limo service.

Most limousine companies in the area, such as Limo 850, offer guidance for wine tours as part of a limo rental. This guidance will often come in cheaper than a dedicated wine tour company because a limousine company sees the guidance as an added perk, not a primary revenue stream.

Prom Etiquette – Who Pays for the Limo?

It’s  just about springtime! And you know what that means! It’s time to get ready and start planning for the biggest social event of the year – the PROM! You’ve got to find the perfect dress, the perfect dinner, the perfect flowers and the perfect accessories. But what about the perfect ride? Have you thought about getting a prom limo rental? What better way could there be than to arrive in style?

But in this crazy day and age, there’s a couple of questions. Who is the one to pay for the limo? Emily Post wasn’t around to ask so we took it to a few people to find out what they think:

“The person that does the asking is usually the one that pays for dinner, tickets to the dance and the limo. You each need to buy the other person flowers so that’s an expense for both people.” – Jen

“If you want to go as friends or as a big group of people, it’s fine to have everyone pitch in to pay for the limo and the activity. Sometimes you just want to go to the dance and not be left out. You don’t have to pay for everything.” – Abbie

“I don’t mind splitting some of the more expensive things like pictures or a limo. If we decide as a couple or as a group that it’s something we want to do, but not everyone can afford, we’ll pitch in and see what we can pay and then if it’s enough, we’ll do it.” – Marcie

“The guy is asking you to the dance, so he should pay for the prom limo.” – Kendra

“What if your school is girl’s choice? You can’t say that the guy has to ask and pay then. You can talk and see what you want to do and then make a decision together.” – Brooke

So you can see there’s a variety of answers out there but no one is disagreeing that renting a limo for the prom is one of the most styling, fun and exciting ways you can get there.

Book a limo for these 7 events!

limoLuxury transportation services from Limo 805 are always a welcomed treat for a milestone event or special evening out. However, some events are simply not complete without a limousine to transport you and your guests in an upscale, professionally chauffeured vehicle. If you are planning an event and wondering whether you need limousine services, here are 7 events you must book a limo for:

  1. Wedding events: The bride and groom being whisked away from the ceremony in a stately limousine is an integral part to any wedding without question. However, aside from the wedding itself, you also need limo services for your bachelor/bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and airport transportation services for special, out-of-town guests.
  2. Prom night: Next to wedding events, prom night demands the transportation services of a luxury limo service company. Your date will never forgive you if you drive your regular car or truck to and from your prom event.
  3. Birthday party: There are certain birthday parties that require special, extravagant treatment, such as the big 21, 30, 40, 50 and so on. Don’t forget to reserve a limousine if you are planning a party for a loved one.
  4. Staples Center event: Any event at the Staples Center begs for limo transportation services. The traffic around the Staples Center area can be burdensome when there isn’t an event taking place, much less when a major event is scheduled. Save yourself and your guests the headache of driving, parking and walking up to the venue by arranging by Limo 805 limo services.
  5. Night on the Town: Whether it’s date night or girls’ night out, your guests will thank you for thinking ahead and reserving a Limo 805 vehicle for the night’s festivities. Traveling from one establishment to the next becomes impossible when you are forced to find parking in and around the Ventura, Thousand Oaks or Los Angeles area.
  6. Corporate events: To give corporate events a professional touch, a stately limousine can deliver the right amount of sophistication and luxury needed to elevate a corporate event.
  7. Funeral transportation: The weight of your loss shouldn’t be added to by the stress of driving or an unprofessional limousine company. Limo 805 provides professional funeral limousine service during the difficult time of mourning.
