Durham, NC (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2008 -- CORK & TEE, the Epicurean Golf Travel company, today announced a first-of-its-kind Golf & Wine Academy that will integrate these two passions in a fun and educational format. The four-day event will be held in California's scenic Livermore Valley, located just 45 minutes from San Francisco, from Thursday, October 16 - Sunday, October 19, 2008. For more information, consult www.corkandtee.com.
Highlights of the all-inclusive program include the following:
? Two half-days of personalized golf instruction (including video swing analysis), plus 45 holes of play at two of Northern California's finest golf courses (Poppy Ridge and The Course at Wente Vineyards);
? Sommelier-led wine instruction and California wine tastings, including barrel tastings at a family-run, boutique winery;
? Fine dining highlighted by a four-course winemaker dinner and an optional French cooking lesson at a winery; and
? Luxury accommodations at The Rose Hotel, a European-style boutique hotel.
"CORK & TEE is all about enabling upscale travelers to pursue their passions. Much more than simply a golf school, this program is designed as an opportunity for enrichment and enjoyment in a bucolic setting that is quintessential California," said Gene Holland, co-founder and principal at CORK & TEE and a former PGA professional. "A limited number of attendees will enjoy personalized instruction as well as the ability to enhance their knowledge of California wines, in general, and wines from the up-and-coming Livermore appellation, in particular."
In addition to the two highlighted golf venues, co-sponsors of the program include The Rose Hotel, Tenuta Vineyards, a family-run boutique winery that will host the program's winemaker dinner, and Wente Vineyards, one of the Livermore Valley's marquee wine producers.
Pricing is $1985 per person based on double occupancy. For more information or to register, contact CORK & TEE at 919-536-3200 or info@corkandtee.com.
