As a pet parent, you know it all: their favorite chew toy, favorite lounging spot, and what each bark, meow, or chirp means. So what happens when you can’t be there to care for your pet?

It took 23,000 helicopter missions to build, has withstood four decades of desert heat, mountain snow, and high winds, and carried millions of enthralled passengers from around the globe. But the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway still towers above all Southern California attractions as the “eighth wonder of the world.”
Completed in 1963, the tram whisks riders from the Valley Station at 2,643 above the Coachella Valley floor to the Mountain Station at 8,516 feet on Mount San Jacinto in about 15 minutes. It’s usually 40 degrees cooler at the top year round, so residents and visitors alike can catch a break from the desert heat in summer or toss snowballs at each other in winter.

By the end of your tasting afternoon, you’re ready to leave with a few bottles of some of the delicious wines you’ve sampled and hand-selected.
