Do you remember the scene in Out of Africa where Meryl Streep and Robert Redford experience the magic of Africa’s magnificent countryside from the air, flying across the jungles and plains in an open-cockpit bi-plane? Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see Northern California’s Wine Country from high in the sky, traversing miles of cascading green hills and sparkling blue lakes in a vintage open-air bi-plane? Well, now you can be one of the rare few, courtesy of Lake County’s only boutique hotel, the Tallman Hotel, with their Aviator Package.
This unique package gives you the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying in a fully-restored, open cockpit World War II Stearman Bi-Plane (one of only a hundred left in the US). Soar over spectacular Lake County, passing Mt. Konocti, the extinct volcano that created Clearlake, California’s largest natural lake, and dipping over acres of vineyards and orchards backlit by a morning sunrise or evening sunset. This is truly an unforgettable experience!
The package also includes a night in one of the Tallman’s historic hotel rooms, where you can relax in a clawfoot bath tub built for two.
