There’s a famous Spanish proverb, “With wine and hope, anything is possible.” Romance, rekindling friendships, celebrating with family, or simply sipping and savoring a good wine while watching the sun set…the world seems to slow down as you appreciate a wine’s distinct qualities.
One of the best ways to experience wine is to tour a vineyard. A new study from the Wine Market Council, as reported by The Press Democrat, states that wine tourism is increasing among diverse consumers. And both tourists and club members want more than just a regular wine tasting when visiting wineries. More than 50% of survey respondents said that they want “a variety of tasting experiences,” with 48% expressing an interest in tasting older or rare wines.”
Explore West Coast Wineries in Style
Whether you are a wine connoisseur who seeks to add a noteworthy bottle of wine to your collection, or you enjoy learning about the winemaking process, consider renting a luxury motorcoach so you can explore the exquisite wine regions along the West Coast.
These Class A motorcoaches are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as a “hotel suite on wheels” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher. And there’s plenty of room to store new bottles of wine safely inside the motorcoach, so you can transport them home yourself and not bother with shipping costs and other logistics.
Let Us Handle the Wine Tour Transportation
Fortunately, when you rent a luxury motorcoach from LiTRV, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a full-service firm. We help you assess which luxury RV option is best for your family or friends, plan your itinerary, and we can also arrange for a private driver so you can relax, sample multiple wines along your journey, and not worry about a designated driver.
Our professional drivers are committed to your safety, comfort and convenience. And when there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for the driver to stay nearby so you can enjoy your privacy.
Our team of concierge specialists can also make reservations at wineries and arrange for you to stay at nearby luxury RV resorts. For example, you might decide to visit a few wineries in California and then make your way up north to Oregon.
Here are three wineries you may consider visiting:
Premier Wines and Stunning Views
California produces 89% of all U.S. wines. Its long growing season with warm days and cool nights makes for an ideal climate for grapevines. The state also has a diverse range of microclimates, which allows growers to produce a wide variety of wines.
You might start your wine adventure at Justin Vineyards & Winery in Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County. Surrounded by rolling hills, Paso Robles is known for its vast wineries and olive groves, and it is considered one of California’s best-kept secrets. The award-winning winery produces Bordeaux-style blends that rival the best from Napa Valley. Their flagship wine, “Isosceles,” is a highly awarded blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and it consistently ranks among the top red wines in the United States.
Justin Vineyards offers several unique ways to experience its wine. You can take an exclusive ATV tour, guided by a wine educator, and enjoy a premium tasting flight of wines while exploring the founder’s estate. Or you can tour the scenic property on a fun, electric bike ride. The winery also offers cave tours and barrel tastings. And, if you love chocolate, you can immerse yourself in a two-hour experience where you can design and paint your own custom truffles. The estate also offers private, by-appointment tastings and tours of their wine cave.
Our LiTRV team can also reserve accommodations at a nearby luxury RV resort, such as Vines RV Resort, a pet-friendly resort that features spacious, fully-equipped motorcoach sites, two pools, a spa, fitness center, general store, and a lounge that features local wines, beer and a billiards table.
Notorious Napa Valley
With more than 400 wineries that produce over 850 different brands, Napa Valley is considered one of the world’s premier wine destinations. With its rich history, breathtaking views that are dotted with castle-like structures and other unique architecture, Napa Valley is responsible for more than $50 billion towards the American economy, according to a 2014 study from the International Wine & Food Society.
After exploring San Luis Obispo, sit back and enjoy a scenic half-day drive north to this beautiful section of California. Depending on how much time you have, we can include stops along the way or drive straight through to Napa Valley.
One exclusive winery worth exploring is Opus One Winery in Oakville, a charming town that could easily be missed with its small population of 71. A collaboration between two wine legends—Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One’s single proprietary wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The wine is prized for its balance, structure, and aging potential, often fetching high prices at auction.
In 2019, abundant spring rains, nearly double the annual average, saturated the soil and provided ample water for the growing season. The Opus One 2019 has intense aromas of black plum, blueberry, black currant, and dried rose petals, accentuated by mineral undertones. The creamy, satiny texture is framed by fine-grained tannins. The freshness and soft glow of acidity create a subtle tension with dark fruit flavors, savory herbs, espresso, and cocoa. A delicate dark chocolate bitterness lingers on the finish.
Wine tastings and experiences are by appointment only and range from tours with a personal Estate Ambassador to a guided tasting of two vintages in the courtyard. Our LiTRV concierge specialist can secure reservations at Opus One Winery and also reserve accommodations at a nearby RV resort, such as Vineyard RV Park in Vacaville, about 45 minutes from Opus One, or Napa Valley Expo RV Park, in Napa, about 20 minutes from the winery. Or, for a more luxurious experience, we can reserve a few nights at a nearby high-end resort and spa, such as the five-star Auberge du Soleil. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off and pick you up when you are ready to continue your journey.
Venture North to Oregon
Once you have fully explored the beauty of Napa Valley, consider traveling further north about nine hours across the state boundary. While our LiTRV private driver can drive all day, we can recommend stopping along the way so you can stretch out and see some other sights, such as Redding in northern California, where you can stop by Turtle Bay and walk over the famous Sundial Bridge, or Medford in southern Oregon, home of the famous Harry & David pears and other gourmet gifts, or Eugene, a larger city in Oregon along the Willamette River.
Oregon is the third-largest wine region in the country, known for its Pinot Noirs, which are comparable to the famous French wines. The Willamette Valley is a leading wine region in the world, producing award-winning wines and two-thirds of Oregon’s wineries and vineyards. It is particularly known for its Pinot Noir, but also produces other cool-climate grapes like Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc.
In Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Domaine Serene is synonymous with world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Located in Dayton, the winery’s commitment to quality has earned it numerous awards and critical acclaim, making it a must-visit for any serious wine collector.
Our LiTRV concierge specialist can arrange for a 90-minute visit to the winery’s beautiful tasting room at The Clubhouse at Domaine Serene to enjoy The Estate Tasting while overlooking rolling hills and sweeping vineyard views. The tasting includes a curated selection of five wines from a range of their collections.
Or, if you have a party of four or more, we can arrange for a more intimate experience with a personal Sommelier who will guide you through a flight of limited-production wines in one of the winery’s private spaces. This experience is available on a limited basis and with advance booking only.
Just 15 minutes away is Dundee Hills Resort, a pet-friendly luxury RV resort that also features quaint cottages. Our LiTRV can explore availability here and other nearby resorts.

There’s something special about sitting on a beach, watching and listening to the waves break, and breathing in the fresh, salty air from the ocean. Whether you decide to nap on a beach towel, read a new book, or simply reflect on life in the peacefulness of your surroundings, a luxury beach vacation can be good for your soul.
Fall is the optimal time to plan a relaxing beach vacation. The sun is gentler, the breezes are cooler, and there are more chances to enjoy long stretches of beach in solitude. For a truly unique, splendid experience, consider renting a luxury motorcoach so you can travel safely to your beach destination in comfort and style.
Quiet Beaches Await Your Luxury Beach Vacation
When you rent a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV, our concierge specialists can help you plan a fall getaway to some of the most serene and picturesque beaches in the United States. After Labor Day, temperatures are milder, and crowds disperse, making it the perfect time to enjoy a beach retreat.
Unlike standard RVs, a Class A motorcoach is the most extravagant RV on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Much like a luxury hotel suite, they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
We will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a professional driver so you and your family or friends can enjoy the stunning coastal landscapes along your journey.
Consider Staying at a RV Resort During Your Luxury Beach Vacation

Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort in Newport Beach, California

Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Autumn on Hilton Head Island is nothing short of magical. The cooler weather is perfect for outdoor activities like walking along the beach, biking, golfing, and exploring the island’s historic sites. Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort provides a great escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Set on 50 acres of fully landscaped property, this upscale RV resort is a short walk or bike ride from 12 miles of uninterrupted beach. This pet-friendly resort features unique lots and diverse amenities, including a pool and hot tub, tennis courts, six new pickleball courts, shuffleboard courts, a clubhouse, a poolside restaurant, a fully equipped gym, a full laundry facility and more.

Hilton Head Island received the prestigious honor of being named “#1 Island in the Continental U.S.” and “#2 Island in the World” by Travel+Leisure Magazine, and the “Top Island in the United States” by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine.
The island is part of the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. It’s known for its pristine beaches and golf courses. Hilton Head Island features unique restaurants and shops, the Harbour Town Lighthouse and Museum, the Coastal Discovery Museum, bike paths, hiking trails, and plenty of other fun activities, including kayaking and fishing. Between the island and mainland, the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge salt marsh hosts deer, alligators and birds.

Better than glamping, and a lot better than camping, a stay at a luxury RV resort in a luxury motorcoach combines all the elements of outdoor fun in a lavish setting with many of the amenities you might find at a high-end resort.
You don’t need to pitch a tent, and you won’t be whisked away to a yurt, cabin or treehouse. While glamping adventures can be fun, a vacation at a luxury RV resort offers an exceptional experience for those traveling in a Class A motorcoach. And the best part is that you don’t need to own a luxury motorcoach to vacation at a luxury RV resort – you can rent a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV and we will take care of all the travel plans for you.
A Plush “Hotel Suite on Wheels”
You’ve probably seen luxury motorcoaches on the road, or perhaps a neighbor or colleague owns one. These Class A motorcoaches are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as “land yachts” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
Our LiTRV team will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a private driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey.
Want to bring your pets? Not only can they travel comfortably in a luxury motorcoach, but most luxury RV resorts also have dog parks.
Booking Your Stay
You would be surprised at how many luxury RV resorts there are around the country, and the demand keeps growing. Each resort has different options regarding availability for their premier sites, amenities, and policies, so it can be confusing to navigate the booking process. It’s a key reason why LiTRV’s concierge specialists provide this service to our clients.
Premier sites often offer a breathtaking, scenic mountain, lake or ocean view and come complete with spacious patios, stone paver fire pits and lush landscaping.
Some people have the misconception that you must own a luxury motorcoach to stay at a luxury RV resort. While it is true that some RV resorts have rules regarding the age of a motorcoach, if you’re renting through LiTRV, you won’t need to worry about those details. We’ll make sure the motorcoach complies with all the resort’s policies.
A note to motorcoach owners: If you own a luxury motorcoach that is more than 10 years old, our LiTRV team can help you sell it and then assist you with motorcoach rental options so you can continue to visit your favorite luxury RV resorts in comfort and style in a more modern Class A motorcoach rental.
Due to the popularity of luxury RV resorts and limited availability, it’s best to reserve a spot as soon as you know your plans. Our LiTRV team will help you assess premium spots and book your stay, so you have peace of mind knowing that the details are taken care of.
New Luxury RV Resorts Continue to Open
While some luxury RV resorts existed prior to 2020, the onset of the pandemic and the huge interest in RV travel prompted many developers to invest in RV resort properties. Some campgrounds have been transformed to provide a luxury experience option, while other new properties geared towards Class A motorcoaches were designed to reflect the same offerings as a five-star resort.
Here are three new luxury RV resorts that are generating lots of buzz:
The Oaks RV Resort, Meadows of Dan, Virginia
Set in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in southern Virginia, The Oaks RV Resort provides enormous full hook-up RV sites, free, high-speed Wi-Fi, deluxe amenities and mesmerizing mountain views. Amenities include a concrete pad and patio at every site, complete with a fire pit and picnic table, heated outdoor pool, a clubhouse with a fireplace, luxury private bathrooms with hot showers, a large pet park with indoor washing stations, a modern laundry facility, trash pick-up, and security cameras. Relax on the property or visit nearby Mabry’s Mill, hike to the summit of Buffalo Mountain, play golf in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, or visit nearby wineries, breweries and antique shops. The high-end resort is open year-round, and our LiTRV team can check availability and rates when you are ready to explore your options.
Olde Florida Motorcoach Resort, La Belle, Florida
The timing is perfect to book a stay at Olde Florida Motorcoach Resort, which is set to open in October 2024. Olde Florida is located on the site of a former orange grove, about 40 minutes east of Ft. Myers in southwest Florida. Centered around a magnificent clubhouse, sensational resort pool, whirlpool spa and poolside bar, and sprawling sports complex, this new luxury RV resort is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life, but still close to world-class beaches, championship fairways, fine dining and shopping. World-class amenities include a wellness and fitness center, poolside cabanas, two tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a regulation basketball court, horseshoes, four bocce courts, four shuffleboard courts, an outdoor movie theater with food trucks, a kid’s play area, golf cart rentals, two dog parks, and more.
As a new luxury RV resort, Olde Florida may be offering special promotions. Our LiTRV team can help you plan your trip and take advantage of any grand-opening special offers.
Gulfport Luxury RV Resort, Gulfport, Mississippi
Less than 90 minutes from New Orleans, Gulfport Luxury RV Resort is a wonderful option for families and friends who are seeking to relax along the picturesque Mississippi Gulf Coast. The modern resort opened in April 2024 and features spacious concrete pull-thru sites, gulf front views with a picnic table, a resort-style pool, a clubhouse and café, an arcade room, a fitness center, a large dog park, vehicle and golf cart parking, a picnic table, and free, high-speed W-Fi.

Rich, deep shades of red mixed with vibrant orange, brilliant yellow and even some purplish colors. There’s something magical about watching the leaves change colors and experience fall foliage sightseeing at its peak.
This beautiful autumn phenomenon is so spectacular, “Leaf Peeping” tourists flock to New England, Appalachia, the Smoky Mountains, the Rocky Mountains, and other northern areas from mid-September to early November to take in one of nature’s greatest shows.
Why Rent a Luxury Motorcoach for Fall Foliage Sightseeing?
Now is the perfect time to rent a luxury motorcoach so you and your family or friends can experience this year’s fall foliage in comfort and style. When you rent a luxury RV through LiTRV, you’ll travel in a plush “hotel suite on wheels” with all the comforts of home, including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space for your luggage.
We will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a professional driver so you and your family and friends don’t miss any opportunity to see the mesmerizing fall foliage along your journey.
Our LiTRV team provides customized, concierge services, so we’re here to support you throughout the entire trip. Whether you have vacationed in a luxury motorcoach in the past, or this will be your first experience traveling in a luxury RV, we’ll make sure you have everything you need for a safe, comfortable and memorable trip.
Where and When to Go for Fall Foliage Sightseeing
The good news is that you have plenty of options for seeing fall foliage at its peak. Fortunately, The Old Farmer’s Almanac has a 2024 Fall Foliage Color Map that shows when colors will peak in the United States. The digital map shows daily changes from September through December.
Our LiTRV concierge specialists can help plan your trip. Here are three ideas to consider:
Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina
The Blue Ridge Mountains cover most of western North Carolina. Part of the Appalachian Mountains, the Blue Ridge is known for being shrouded in a lovely bluish haze, especially when seen from a distance. One of the most popular wilderness areas in the U.S., the Blue Ridge features hiking trails, waterfalls, and lots of “deciduous trees” (oak, birch, beech) with broad leaves that change colors and typically peak around mid-October.
During your trip, you may want to stay at a luxury RV resort, such as Asheville RV Park Resort in Fletcher, North Carolina. Our LiTRV team can check availability at this pet-friendly luxury resort that features premier lakefront and pull-thru sites, each with a fire ring and picnic table, free WiFi, cable TV, a heated full-size pool, laundry facilities, playground and a recreation hall. The property also includes a serene creek-side trail, paddle boats, canoes, and catch-and-release fishing. Choose to spend your time “leaf peeping,” or visit the nearby city of Asheville, which is known for its vibrant arts scene, historic architecture, talented musicians, shopping, and “foodtopia,” a unique community of culinary collaborators who create unique and memorable food and drink experiences.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole is a top destination for fall foliage, with aspen groves, cottonwood trees, deciduous trees, red leaf shrubs, and grass fields changing color in the fall. The peak season for fall foliage is typically early to mid-October, but the exact timing depends on the weather.
With a rich Native American and cowboy history, open spaces, diverse ecology, and outdoor recreation, Jackson Hole is the gateway to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. Known as “The last of the Old West,” this rustic town is set in a picturesque valley encircled by mountains. The high-end, western town is also known for its exquisite cuisine and world-class art, entertainment and shopping.
Your leaf peeping tour of the area might include a stay at the Alpine Valley RV Resort, a fairly new luxury RV resort in the scenic Snake River Canyon, about 40 minutes south of Jackson Hole. Our LiTRV team can check availability for several premier sites that include a paved patio, firepit and dinette set. Set alongside the Palisades Reservoir, a scenic valley with forested hillsides rising from the water to the towering mountains, the pet-friendly resort offers breathtaking views, access to nearby restaurants and a brewery, and the property is conveniently situated next to a supermarket. In addition, if you choose to visit in September and want to go rafting, you can depart directly from the property.
White Mountains, New Hampshire
The White Mountains are home to the most rugged and challenging terrain in the region. There are several ways to see the dazzling fall foliage colors during a visit to New England. You can ride to the top of a mountain in a cable car, gondola or chairlift, take a scenic train ride, zip line through the trees, kayak, take a boat ride, or hike one of the many trails. Peak foliage typically occurs in the White Mountains from the end of September through the second week of October. Even after leaves reach their peak in a certain area, the colors can hang on for a week or two. You can check out the White Mountains Visitor Center’s 2024 White Mountain Fall Foliage Tracker for more details.
As you plan your trip in your luxury motorcoach rental, you may choose to stay at a luxury RV resort, such as Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort in Freedom, New Hampshire. Our LiTRV team can check availability for deluxe sites that include a spacious patio, complete with a table, chairs and a charcoal grill to make cookouts more comfortable. The property includes many amenities and entertainment options, such as lake sports, a pool, hiking trails, a softball field, a basketball court, four playgrounds, a dog park, live music and magic shows, stargazing and more. Enjoy the breathtaking fall foliage from the resort or take a ride in your luxury motorcoach rental to the scenic Kancamagus Highway, about an hour away.

Imagine if you had a degenerative condition and you needed surgery out of state, but it’s difficult for you to travel. You can’t fly, and most importantly, you want your partner to join you along with your dog, who brings you joy and comfort. This is where hiring a private RV driver can be priceless.
Benefits of a Private RV Driver
For one of our recent LiTRV clients, renting a luxury motorcoach proved to be the best solution for this sensitive scenario. Our client was anxious about having complex surgery on their hand. They wanted a smooth journey to receive medical care and then recover from the surgery in a home-like environment before traveling more than 1,000 miles back to their home. Renting a luxury motorcoach gave them the option of traveling in a “hotel suite on wheels,” including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
It was their first experience renting a luxury motorcoach along with a private RV driver, and while they chose to do so for the convenience, they were pleasantly surprised at how much our LiTRV driver went above and beyond to make them comfortable during their journey. Our driver looked out for them and their dog to make sure they had everything they needed. In many ways, he was their guide and advocate. At one point after the surgery, when our client realized they could not tie their shoes because of the cast on their hand, our driver didn’t hesitate to help lace up their shoes.
Our clients often sing the praises of our professional drivers. LiTRV’s private drivers are committed to our clients’ safety, comfort and convenience. They have decades of experience driving RVs and other large vehicles throughout the country. They are used to driving long hours, navigating twists and turns on mountain roads, and adjusting to diverse weather conditions.
Experts to Handle Every Situation
Most importantly, LiTRV professional drivers care about our clients’ experiences. They don’t just “clock in and clock out.” Whether the Wi-Fi stops working, the bathroom light goes out, or the motorcoach gets a flat tire along the way, LiTRV drivers have the knowledge and training to make repairs or find help nearby. And when there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for our driver to stay nearby so clients can enjoy their privacy.
Sometimes our private drivers will adjust the travel itinerary based on a client’s desire to change plans while on their journey. Other times, our private drivers will make a special trip to a pet store to pick up a pet ramp, so older dogs can easily enter and exit the motorcoach.
Recently, we had a client who wanted to stay for a few months on a premier site overlooking the Pacific Ocean at a luxury RV resort in Malibu. Knowing that they were staying awhile there and realizing that the site was covered in California sand and loose dirt, our driver coordinated the installation of fake grass on the site so they could relax outside and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Another time, our LiTRV private driver picked up a single mother and her kids who were moving across the country to another city. On the first day of the trip, the mother became very ill and tested positive for Covid. Throughout the rest of the trip, our driver took extra care to make sure she and the children had enough food, water, juice, soup, tissues, cough drops and other items to help ease their discomfort from being sick.
Safe, Comfortable, Reliable Luxury Transportation
These are just some examples of how a LiTRV private RV driver goes above and beyond their responsibilities of providing safe and comfortable transportation to make our clients’ experiences positive in their luxury motorcoach rentals. We’re proud that our drivers have a culture of caring and that they are always seeking ways to enhance our clients’ travel experiences.

Whether you are a foodie or enjoy indulging in an exceptional dining experience with family and friends, consider taking a culinary tour while on vacation in a luxury motorcoach.
Why Travel in a Luxury Motorcoach Rental?
When you travel in a luxury motorcoach rental through LiTRV, you’ll travel in a plush “hotel suite on wheels” with all the comforts of home, including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space for your luggage.
We will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a professional driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey. Once at your destination, our LiTRV driver stays nearby so you can enjoy your privacy in the motorcoach, but still have access to him or her should you need assistance.
Delight in a Culinary Adventure On Your Next Luxury Motorcoach Experience
Our LiTRV concierge specialists can help you research renowned chefs and fine dining establishments and assist with making reservations. Here are three diverse fine dining options:
Vetri Cucina, Philadelphia, PA
Spend a few days in historic Philadelphia, visiting the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, or the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Along the way, try some cuisine that Philadelphia is known for, including cheesesteak, stromboli, and hoagies. But save your appetite for an evening with award-winning Chef Marc Vetri at Vetri Cucina.
Located in a historic townhome in the heart of Philadelphia, Vetri Cucina has received numerous honors, including being a nominee and a recipient of the prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards for excellence in the food and beverage industry.
With seating for 32, the intimate dining room evokes the charms of Italy with custom crafted features including hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers, Richard Ginori porcelain and Venetian glassware.
Order from a classic tasting menu, which features a four-course menu with options to select from within each course. There will be a selection of antipasti, pasta, secondi and dessert where you will choose one option from each section of the menu. Depending on when you visit, you may also order from their seasonal forchetta menu, which features a multi-course chef selected tasting menu experience. This menu is offered alongside their classic tasting menu. With two temperature-controlled cellars housing more than 2,500 bottles, the restaurant’s wine list is carefully curated and managed by a team of certified sommeliers. The collection represents every region of Italy, as well as a sampling of the world’s classic wine regions.
After dinner, relax in your luxury motorcoach while your private driver takes you to your next destination. One option is the Stoneybrook RV Resort in Lehighton in Eastern Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes from Philadelphia. This luxury RV resort features deluxe sites with private patios, pristine landscaping, spa-style bathhouses, a heated swimming pool, fishing pond, and basketball and pickleball courts. The luxury resort is also within 30 minutes of the breathtaking Appalachian Trail and nearby lakes.
Plant, Asheville, North Carolina
For a healthy fine dining choice, consider Plant, an evolving chef-driven vegetable, fruit, and active-foods restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina. Everything is made in-house using fresh produce that’s local and organic when possible. From ideation to plating, Plant knocks their culinary creativity out of the park.
Jason Sellers, Leslie Armstrong, and Alan Berger opened Plant in the summer of 2011. Since then, the restaurant has received many accolades, including being voted Best Vegetarian Restaurant in the city, Healthiest Bite, Greenest Restaurant, and Best Service. Plant has garnered attention nationally, making lists from Zagat, Food and Wine, and PETA.
Plant is vegan, 90% organic, often local, and mostly gluten free. No animal products are used in house. The restaurant makes almost everything from scratch. They use three types of organic oil: extra virgin olive, sunflower, coconut, and toasted sesame. They do not use peanut, soy, or corn oil, and they do not use isolated protein, be it soy or otherwise.
The contemporary ambiance is equally impressive. Dinner is served from an open kitchen and bar, with 13 tables, 47 seats, kitchen-side dining, and a seasonal 20-seat dog friendly patio.

Versailles Restaurant, Miami, Florida
Miami is known for its golden beaches, world-class cuisine, Latin vibe, and vibrant nightlife. There are many fine dining choices in this colorful, exciting city. One option for Cuban cuisine is Versailles Restaurant. Soon after it opened its doors in 1971, Versailles became the gathering place and unofficial town square for Miami’s Cuban exiles. With its uniquely French inspired aesthetic, the iconic establishment is a landmark to the community and remains the unrelenting gauge of the city’s diversifying pulse.
At the center of this is Versailles’ “La Ventanita,” the walk-up coffee window famous for its Cuban “cafecito” and reputation for its local provenance. Gastronomically, the restaurant is acclaimed for preserving the heritage of Cuban cuisine, with an extensive Cuban menu. In 1998 the restaurant expanded to include its on-site Versailles Bakery, assuring all pastries, breads and desserts are made from scratch in house and served at its freshest point.
One benefit of having a private driver is that you can enjoy a pitcher of Sangria with dinner or a few specialty drinks and not worry about who will be the designated driver. One option for accommodations is Aztec Luxury RV Resort in Fort Lauderdale, about 35 minutes from Miami. The resort is exclusively for Class A motorcoaches providing full hook ups, with rentals available nightly, weekly or seasonally. Some of the amenities include shuffleboard courts, horseshoe, a putting green, two tennis courts, a pickleball court, a volleyball court, and a pétanque court. In addition to being near Miami, the resort provides easy access to Pompano Beach and nearby casinos.
