Located between two mountain ranges and surrounded by vineyards, El Cielo Resort & Winery takes guests on unique wine journeys, perfect for both wine connoisseurs and travelers looking to learn more about wine culture.

Guests staying at the resort can engage in activities such as:

  • Learn about the winery’s sustainability efforts.
  • Blend your own wine during a hands-on class. Participants can craft a customized wine blend with the help of El Cielo’s certified sommeliers. Once complete, they can even create their own personalized bottle label.
  • Set off on a guided wine-tasting wagon tour through the scenic vineyard. During the tour you’ll taste delicious wines and learn more about the harvesting and winemaking process, the region’s unique landscape, and the winery’s 11-year history.
  • Get a behind-the-scenes tour of the atmospheric underground cellar during a barrel-to-glass sipping journey guided by a certified sommelier.
  • Explore the vineyards on a self-guided golf cart or bike tour through the landscapes, private gardens and endless grapevines.
  • Treat yourself to a wine-and-chocolate pairing in the exclusive Wine Club Lounge.
  • Take wine tasting up a notch with a terrace version, offering an exquisite range of vintage and varietals from the most decorated labels.

All Eyes Turn to Houston for Cultural Diversity, Great Eats and Economic Heat

When I first moved to Houston from Boston, I knew little about Texas’ largest city beyond Astros fandom and petroleum companies. To my delight and surprise, I was quickly smitten with Bayou City. After living through the merciless winters in New England, I rejoiced in being able to kick back on my patio in a t-shirt in February. Houston’s famous hospitality perhaps stems from its reputation as America’s most diverse city, a magnet for transplants ranging from Middle America to the most far-flung corners of the globe. And, of course, all that wonderful food doesn’t hurt — craft barbecue, mom-n-pop Vietnamese restaurants and fine dining rivaling New York or Los Angeles. I won’tshift my loyalty from the Sox to the ’Stros any time soon, but I’m darn-tootin’ glad to be in Texas.

Accelerated Flight Schools Offer Faster Routes to Becoming a Pilot

Taking off at Van Nuys Airport in California, I felt gravity release its hold as my body lifted with the single-engine Piper Warrior airplane. I sat behind the controls, but I wasn’t flying. Instead, Capt. Gema Goeyardi, founder and CEO, 14DayPilot Flight Academy, flew me over Hollywood, Santa Monica and Malibu as I looked around, wide-eyed and giddy, wishing I knew how.
