Top holiday for wine lovers: camping in a vineyard
We get pretty itchy from the word ‘glamping’, but one look at these stunning retro caravans at the foot of a vineyard and on the shore of a swimming lake and we were sold. Did we already mention that the camping is at the foot of a vineyard? And on the shore of a swimming lake? Sign us up; California here we come!
California dreamin’
Visiting vineyards in California is obviously on many people’s bucket list, but what if we told you that after “tasting” (uh-huh) at one of those wineries, you don’t have to cover another endless American distance, but can simply roll straight into your ultra-cute camper?
Best kept secret
The family-owned Alta Colina has been making wine in the rolling hills of California’s Paso Robles mountains for thirty-five years. Together with the Tinker Tin Trailer Company, they got this brilliant idea off the ground, and now the whole estate’s favorite spot is here for the ultimate getaway: The Trailer Pond.

Camping in style
The light, beautiful caravans with fresh white bed linen can sleep two people. Make some coffee, restock your little fridge with some house viognier, cook together in the communal outdoor kitchen—or simply have someone else do it for you. Enjoy a tasting, go for a walk, take a dip in the pond, pop open another bottle, gosh, what more could anyone want…

No camping cup, but a proper glass
The Tillman farming family produces everything here using fully organic methods, with a commitment not only to their own business but, of course, to their surroundings and the land as well. With this expansion, they hope not only to achieve some additional commercial success, but also to show more people how good life is on their estate.

Call a friend, or call them all, because can’t you already see yourself having the summer of your life there? You can book with the Tinker Tin Company.
