Korbel Toasts Fabulous Friendships With Fifth Annual Contest

GUERNEVILLE (RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY), Calif., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Korbel California Champagne has been a part of celebrations large and small for more than 130 years and now Korbel is giving girlfriends the chance to win the trip of a lifetime. Women are encouraged to submit a toast about their friendships explaining why their group of friends should be chosen to win the ultimate girls getaway to the Korbel Winery in Sonoma County, Calif.

From March 1 through April 30, women nationwide (where legal) may enter the Korbel Mimosa Girls Getaway online contest at www.korbelgirlsgetaway.com. Pictures are worth a thousand words so entrants are also encouraged to upload a photo to accompany their toast. The best "Girlfriend Toast" winner and her five friends will win a trip to the Korbel Winery for the ultimate girl's wine country getaway complete with airfare and accommodations for four days of VIP treatment including a vineyard and winery tour, meals prepared by the winery's private chef and poolside spa treatments.

"We think there's no one better to share the ultimate trip to wine country with than your closest girlfriends," commented Gary Heck, owner and president of Korbel Champagne Cellars. "Korbel is raising a glass to the special relationships women share with one another."

Last year's winner, Meghan McConnell, whose submission talked of the late night phone calls and early morning wake up calls during the 12 months her boyfriend was deployed in Afghanistan, was joined by five of her friends on this once-in-a-lifetime trip.  McConnell was able to share the pampering getaway with the special friends who know just what to say and share a bond like no other.  

Between juggling work, children, school and all the many things that make up the life of a busy woman, there are a few destinations that make for a perfect girls getaway for any occasion.
