CARTER HOSPITALITY INVITES WINE AND DOG LOVERS TO ENJOY NEW HAPPY HOUND PROGRAM AT ALL THREE OF ITS WINERY RESORTS
Offering Special Amenity Dog Program at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa and Carter Estate Winery and Resort in Temecula and at Carter Creek Winery Resort & Spa in Texas Hill Country
Family owned and operated by Orange County-based Carter Hospitality Group, wine and hospitality award-winning South Coast Winery Resort & Spa and Carter Estate Winery and Resort — both located in Temecula, California’s oldest wine region — as well as Carter Creek Winery Resort & Spa — a luxurious new retreat in the heart of Texas Hill Country introduce Happy Hound, a program bound to delight wine lovers and their pampered pooch pals alike.
At a time when pet ownership has increased during the pandemic, many are eager to include their favorite furry buddies in their activities. And with an increase in road trips to exciting retreats, the Carter Hospitality Happy Hound program encourages guests to forget about dog sitters and bring along their four-legged friends to enjoy a wonderful winery resort experience together.
Just for canine guests, Happy Hound features a welcoming sWag Bag at check-in, along with a charming welcome card from the resort. The Happy Hound sWag Bag includes complimentary goodies — a spiffy dog bandana, yummy dog treats and doggie pick-up bags. For the length of the stay, the resort provides food and water bowls, a pet blanket and a “Happy Hound In Room” door sign.
In addition, South Coast, Carter Estate and Carter Creek resorts all feature private villas situated among vineyards, and each has large grassy areas for dog walking, relief stations and nearby pet parks. Guest services can recommend pet-friendly activities in the vicinity.
For human pleasures there are bike rentals, outdoor yoga, horseback riding and other outdoor activities. At all three resorts, the main attraction is unwinding amidst the vineyards while sipping some of the 70 different wines shared among the three wineries, wines which have won over 3,000 awards nationally and internationally. Also, each resort offers spa services, special dining enticements such as The Vineyard Rose Restaurant at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, The Vineyard Grill at Carter Estate Winery and Resort and Old 290 Brewery at Carter Creek Winery Resort & Spa.
At all three resorts, the Carter Care plan is implemented to ensure health and safety — requiring guests and employees to wear face coverings in public spaces with social distancing also a requirement. There are hand sanitizing stations and hospital-grade disinfectants used throughout the properties, and additional protocol protections are required of employees.
