TEMECULA, Calif., July 13, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The GrapeSeed Spa at South Coast now offers Temecula Wine Country visitors the ultimate European spa experience.
Surrounded by vineyards and offering incredible vistas of the surrounding mountains, the 15,000-square-foot Tuscan-style spa features 11 treatment rooms for massages, facials, and body treatments, a salon, outdoor garden, relaxation lounge and a complete fitness facility.
Located at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, the GrapeSeed is a popular addition to the ultimate Wine Country destination. Opened three years ago by visionary owner Jim Carter, South Coast offers fine dining, romantic secluded villas with private vineyard vistas surrounded by an award-winning winery and tasting room.
The richly appointed spa can accommodate a 20-person wedding party and has four couples' rooms, says Wendy Rahier, spa director.
"There's no destination like this in California or the rest of the country where you can relax, rejuvenate and reconnect," she said. "Where can you find a world class spa, next to luxury villas, a working winery and 160-seat high-end restaurant?"
It's a great place for couples to get away and reconnect in a setting where they can share the spa experience together with private or couple treatments, including the proprietary GrapeSeed Exfoliant and Merlot Mask.
It all starts with a private locker, robe and slippers. Relax in the sauna room for about 30 minutes before receiving your personalized treatment. After the treatment, relax with a complimentary glass of South Coast wine in the lounge or on the second-story veranda.
The spa's "wet area" includes a heated outdoor pool, sauna and steam rooms and relaxing whirlpools. On the ground floor a full retail boutique offers selected premium products that are used in the treatments.
The GrapeSeed Spa is a convenient and indulgent alternative for those looking for the ultimate spa and winery experience.
"Thousands of people in Southern California travel to Northern California to enjoy great wine, a spa and wonderful food," Carter said. "Now they have choice."
The GrapeSeed Spa at South Coast Winery & Resort is just a one-hour car ride away for the estimated 25 million people who live in Southern California.
"Now, instead of traveling north once a year, spa and wine and food lovers can come to South Coast three, four and five times a year," Carter said.
South Coast Winery Resort & Spa is a 38-acre destination property in the heart of Temecula's Wine Country that produces award-winning wines. So far this year, South Coast Winery has won more than 150 medals for its wines.
South Coast Winery Resort & Spa is located at 34843 Rancho California Road in the heart of Temecula's Wine Country. To see the spa, personal tours are offered on Tuesdays from 10 to 11 a.m. and from 4 to 5 p.m. If you can't be there, go online to www.southcoastwinery.com
