Win a Gold Country trip fit for foodies

Each month, the California Wine & Food Adventure Sweepstakes, run by California Tourism, gives away a food- and wine-focused trip to a region in California. The winner, chosen randomly from online entries, receives two Southwest Airlines tickets to the month’s feature destination, accommodations, ground transportation and a six-day, five-night suggested itinerary bound to get the taste buds dancing.

This month’s prize destination is the Sierra Nevada’s Gold Country. The lucky winner’s nights will be spent in Groveland, near Yosemite National Park; in Sutter Creek, near the wineries of Amador County; in Lotus, near the American River; in Folsom, alongside the American River; and in Sacramento, on the Old Sacramento waterfront. The itinerary includes winery visits, outdoor attractions and fine-dining options (some, not all, of the meals and entertainment are covered).

Entering the contest couldn’t be easier. Just go to the sweepstakes page, and fill in the basic details. The deadline for this month’s drawing is Aug. 31, 2008.

Caveats: Only one entry is allowed per person or per e-mail address each month. See the official rules.

Good luck!
