Cambria Christmas Lights & Markets

Get into the holiday spirit on this all-motor coach trip to the Central Coast. The Cambria Christmas Markets is among the most celebrated in California. Along with an immersive Christmas lights experience illuminated by more than three million twinkling lights, you can browse the eclectic array of Christmas market vendors (don't forget your Christmas shopping list!), delicious food, elixirs, and so much more!

1. Depart from the Sports Leisure Vacations office and travel in comfort onboard our deluxe motor coach. There will be a stop for lunch along the way before arriving at your home for two nights, the Castle Inn. After settling in, head out for dinner at the Cambria Pines Lodge, location of the Christmas Market where dinner is served. Following the meal, you will have access to enjoy the lights and market. You have access both nights of your visit, so pace yourself and take your time enjoying. (L, D)

2.  After breakfast at the Inn, take a short ride to the San Simeon estate of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst. A docent-led tour of the Hearst Castle will take you to the Grand Rooms as Mr. Hearst's guests enjoyed them in the 1920s and 1930s, all decked out for the holiday season. Lunch follows in the charming town of Cambria. Later in the evening return to the Christmas Market and lights display. You can return to the Lodge restaurant for dinner, try something from one of the vendors at the Christmas Market or simply have a night of leisure back at the Inn. The choice is yours. (CB, D)

3. The Christmas lights and holiday festivities are sure to have you in the high holiday spirits as you leave Cambria this morning. After an included lunch at Harris Ranch (where’s the beef?) you arrive back at the Sports Leisure Vacations office to your awaiting cars to return you home. (CB, L)
