All Things Good Waiting For You at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa
After years of planning and masterfully engineered design and construction, South Coast Winery Resort & Spa is poised to catapult into the ranks of a major luxury resort and meeting destination, making it of special interest to the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills crowds. Here are just a few reasons why:
1. South Coast Winery Resort’s elegantly appointed, three-story GrapeSeed Spa opened on July 22nd. Serenity is available for the taking immediately upon entering South Coast Resort’s latest addition. Guests are invited to start their day with a stroll down the tranquility paths through the vineyards, take a spin class in the vineyard pavilion or a private Pilates class in the movement studio; then renew themselves in the luxury of one of the signature spa or salon treatments or escape to the private men’s or ladies’ alfresco whirlpools tucked away in a lush garden setting. Afterwards, guests will be hard pressed to resist snuggling up in an oversized double-chaise lounge on the spa’s spacious veranda overlooking majestic Mount Palomar while sipping a complimentary glass of wine after a day of complete and total relaxation, reconnection and rejuvenation. For more information visit us on line at www.SouthCoastWinery.com or to make an appointment call us at 951-587-9463.
2. South Coast Winery Resort & Spa is proud to announce the appointment of Alessandro Serni as Executive Chef. Chef Alex (as he likes to be called) has an impressive culinary career spanning over 30 years. Having grown up in Italy, Chef Alex’s natural appreciation for the art of food came naturally. But it was his drive and ambition to create the ultimate dining experience that inspired him to successfully complete studies at some of the top culinary schools throughout the world including the Italian Culinary Institute, associated with the world renowned Cordon Bleu, in Tuscany, Italy, in addition to his studies in Barcelona, Spain; Versailles, France; and the United States. Further honing his culinary skills were his appointments at numerous five-star restaurants and resorts worldwide. Chef Alex comes to South Coast Winery Resort & Spa from Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California; and prior to that he served up an array of tantalizing dishes at the Villa San Michele in Tuscany, Italy; the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in Istanbul, Turkey; Nevis-West Indies; and five years at the Four Seasons Aviara Resort in San Diego. Executive Chef Dan Saito transferred over to the up-and-coming South Coast Winery Café, scheduled to open in Orange County late 2006.
