Jill Cordes (HGTV's "My First Place" and the Food Network's "The Best of")
In the past year Jill Cordes has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, ridden a camel into the Sahara in Timbuktu, and ran both the New York City and Boston Marathons. She is no ordinary ”host/reporter”. What began more than a decade ago as a reporting stint for a local NBC affiliate in South Dakota has evolved into a flourishing career for this highly energetic and passionate woman, who happens to have a slew of success hosting shows from HGTV's My First Place, to Food Network's The Best Of, and recently www.petstyle.com (America's first broadband network dedicated to all things pets). Her television adventures have led her to play golf with actor and restaurateur Bill Murray, dine atop a glacier in Alaska, and dance with leading man Morgan Freeman.

Jim Fiolek - Executive Director Santa Barbara County Vintner's Association
Breathtaking vistas overlook valleys and mountains studded with ancient oaks, brilliant wild flowers and magnificent vineyards. Taking a leisurely country drive allows you to fully appreciate the winemaking experience while viewing the ever changing seasons. Pruning in the winter, bud break in spring, canopy management in summer, culminates with the fall harvest. It is a wonderful discovery for any traveler! You'll find great restaurants, galleries, country inns and exceptional tasting rooms. Friendly and knowledgeable people are waiting to welcome, serve and delight you.
