Description:

Take a take a breaking day trip across the California border to the award-winning winery of Joseph Filippi. Sample fine California vintages, learn about the supposedly haunted estate, and then visit the famous ghost town of Calico to step back in time to the Wild West.

Travel in style aboard a luxury, 7-passenger SUV or a custom, 14-passenger, VIP mini-coach for a scenic drive through the high desert, mountain ranges, and dry lakes between Nevada and Southern California. Along the way, pass by forests of Joshua trees and Mojave yuccas as you travel to the southern end of Death Valley.

Stop at the winery of Joseph Filippi, famous for its wine and ghosts! Nibble cheeses as you sample glasses of wines like cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and even a chocolate port. This award-winning winery is family-run, and in addition to its reputation for great winemaking is also rumored to be haunted. Spend some time strolling around the old buildings, where ghosts are rumored to roam.

After your winetasting, head back through the ages to the Wild West in the ghost town of Calico. This 1800s mining town was a booming settlement during California's Silver Rush, and has been authentically restored to look just as it did during its heyday. Explore the town with your guide, picking up interesting facts and anecdotes as you ride a historic railroad, check out a real mine, try your hand at panning for gold, and listen to eerie tales about Calico's spooky past.
