About this trip

This 3 day/2 night Autumn motorcoach trip offers a journey to Greenville and the Foothills of South Carolina.  Why choose Greenville?  This city revived itself after the collapse of the textile industry to become one of the hottest new destinations in the Southeast!  Visionary community leaders have put Greenville on the map, attracting new residents, more than 40 Fortune 500 companies, over 100 headquarters operations, 110 international companies and visitors like you!  It's striking in its downtown beauty beginning with Main Street known for the tree canopy, twinkling lights, wind chimes and vibrant shopping and dining.  The city is known for its Southern Hospitality and we experience it as we toast our arrival with a stop at City Scape Winery located in the foothills surrounding Greenville for an afternoon wine tasting.  Following this we check in to our hotel located in the middle of the Main Street district so that you can enjoy many dinner options within walking distance.   Greenville has been named one of the "Best Food Cities" in the US by Travel & Leisure which is why the itinerary also includes a "Sip & Shop" event at  The Cook's Station.  During our stay the itinerary offers a combination of planned time beginning with an immersive, narrated tour from Greenville History Tours as well as plenty of time to explore on your own.    You won't want to miss a forgotten waterfall covered by a highway and vegetation which was uncovered and developed into Falls Park on the Reedy, the centerpiece of downtown and ranked one of the "10 Top Parks in the US".     A special treat will be a visit to the Sigal Music Museum.  This is a true hidden gem featuring a rare musical instrument collection such as a harpsichord played by a young Mozart and a piano played by Chopin!

I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!
