As a brand new take on the iconic beauty and bucket-list status of the California road trip, The Epiphany Hotel in Silicon Valley and Carmel Valley Ranch in the Carmel Valley (just inland from Carmel-by-the-Sea) have introduced a road trip travel package that takes guests from city to country in a BMW i8 hybrid car.
The scenic road trip will kick off in the heart of Silicon Valley – Palo Alto – and will take the driver and the i8 through the beautiful coastal roads all the way to Carmel Valley and Pebble Beach where they will be treated with some exclusive amenities and experiences. Just like the BMW 7 Series, the i8 plug-in hybrid is associated with luxury and style, and can be the perfect weekend companion, whether you’re heading to the beach or to the closest vineyard, the i8 will take you there in style.
The Ultimate California Road Trip package includes:
