Taste of California’s Wine Country Anesthesia Symposium, February 22 – 25, will kick off Encore Symposiums’ 2010 year. A grand year it will be, with new destinations and more symposiums to choose from.

Make your New Year's resolutions and be sure to put Encore Symposiums on top. Register and send your tuition for the Taste of California’s Wine Country prior to January 20, 2010 and you will be entered to win one complimentary night stay at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn (valued at $264.00).

The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is the ultimate, elegant oasis that is blessed by natural mineral hot springs in the Sonoma Valley. This California resort is proud to be one of the only luxury spa resorts in the country with its own source of thermal mineral water. Its exceptional accommodations with beautifully appointed guestrooms offer elegant décor and provide the perfect setting to relax and rejuvenate.

Also, our optional Premier Wine Country Tour Package through Benchmark Destinations has been finalized. Begin your new year with first-class memories! Travel by motor coach to several of Sonoma’s premier vineyards for private tours and tastings. Enjoy a private group dinner in Benzinger's Cabernet Cave featuring a live performance from the Phantom of the Opera. Take part in a hands-on culinary experience and an opportunity to be your own wine maker at a Zinfandel Blending Experience.

While you try to escape the winter cold, let your mind wander to warmer climates. Encore Symposiums is offering sun and fun. Unthaw from the winter cold in Tucson or Puerto Vallarta this spring. Or, kick off your summer in Myrtle Beach. As you sit by a warm fire this winter, imagine fireworks over northwest waters - we will be in Seattle for the Fourth of July.

These are just your beginning choices. Remember, we've added more symposiums to choose from. There is still Santa Fe, Bar Harbor and Sedona. With so many destinations, we hope to see you all - perhaps more than once!

Hppy New Year to you all,

Nancy and Laura
