Holy Guacamole! Santa Barbara County is the third largest producer of avocados in North America, so it’s no surprise we’re headed there for the 38th annual California Avocado Festival. This fun and tasty escape begins aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we travel from our departure points to downtown Los Angeles’ historic Union Station where we’ll board Amtrak’s Coast Starlight train. Enjoy a relaxing, 3-hour train ride in your reclining seat or check out the view from the observation car featuring windows that stretch up to the ceiling offering unparalleled and expansive views. Once we pass Oxnard we’ll travel along California’s spectacular coastline with unrivaled views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. After disembarking in Santa Barbara this afternoon, we’ll reboard our motorcoach and travel the short distance south to the charming seaside town of Carpinteria for this downtown festival that celebrates the avocado with a commercial marketplace, an arts & crafts venue, four entertainment stages and food vendors – some featuring creative avocado and guacamole dishes. Don’t miss the Largest Avocado Contest and the World’s Largest Vat of Guacamole! Enjoy time at leisure to explore the festival, shops and boutiques with lunch on your own in downtown Carpinteria. We will motorcoach home. Each guest should bring a driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification to present to Amtrak on the day of the tour if requested. While a rare occurrence, should the Coast Starlight train be canceled by Amtrak, an Amtrak Surfliner train may be substituted or each guest will be refunded the train portion.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
