Itinerary
The luxury motor coach will head down the Willamette Valley after its stops in Tualatin, Woodburn, and Salem, stopping at a local vineyard in route to Ashland for lunch and a wine tasting - what a nice start to the trip! After checking into the Ashland Springs Hotel, guests will take part in a 30 minute preface to set the stage so to speak for the performance of Much Ado About Nothing. Over a delightful dinner we will anticipate the performance and then make our way to the Allen Elizabethan Theatre to round out our first day with a true Shakespearean classic in the open air theater.
