Our Story

We are passionate about wine and sharing it with others!

We are truly the original wine tour company. Created by Jill Tweedie as an owner, operated business. Jill developed a reputation for her passion and dedication to hospitality and personal service. These qualities have been recognized over the years within the wine tourism industry, as she serves on Industry Committees.

This niche business originally concentrated on small personalized touring and was sought after by those looking for a unique, authentic and personalized experience. From there we grew to encompass all aspects of wine and culinary tourism including destination management and are considered the corporate and incentive specialists. We have since expanded to include Scheduled Group Wine Tours for those looking for the same quality experience on a per person basis.

Breakaway Tours & Event Planning often works with the Vintner Associations and Visitor & Conference Bureaus in the three major regions on their behalf of their visiting journalist programs; as well as with other endeavors, participating in trade shows and conducting industry familiarization tours to promote the Central Coast as a wine and culinary destination.
