Central Coast: $99 for San Simeon hotel and wine-tasting

Here’s a $99 coupon deal for a hotel stay that positions you perfectly to visit Hearst Castle and the beaches along Central California‘s rugged coast. LivingSocial offers a one-night getaway in San Simeon that includes room, wine-tasting and easy access to springtime sightseeing.

The deal: The stay is at the the Morgan at San Simeon, named for Julia Morgan, the architect of the dazzlingly ornate Hearst Castle. This $99 deal goes a long way; it includes a room with a king-sized bed or two queen beds, continental breakfast, a glass of wine, free Wi-Fi and a wine-tasting at Harmony Cellars that comes with a bottle of wine.

When: The offer is good through Tuesday for a stay through April 30.

Tested: The drill is that once you buy the voucher, you call to make a reservation directly with the hotel. I like LivingSocial’s money-back guarantee that allows you to return the voucher within 30 days for a full refund. It’s a nice safety cushion in case you can’t get the dates you want to visit.
