Co-founders and partners Shira Wiseman and Paul Anthony Vild of La Jolla Wine Tours share their passion of fine wine and gourmet food by offering unique tours in San Diego and La Jolla. “Some of the places we visit are very special and hidden gems. We like to surprise our guests, so we don’t always tell them ahead of time where we’re taking them,” says Wiseman. “We always end up meeting great friends who often don’t want to say goodbye, so we continue the fun off-tour at some of the local restaurants.” Don’t miss your chance to enjoy a one-of-a-kind wine adventure.
