The tony Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort in Solvang’s wine country has promoted a few interesting theme weekends before, like the "Cowboy Ethics Bootcamp" coming up this fall, but they are going all out for September’s "Outback at Alisal Weekend," and bringing in chef, cookbook author, kitchen line creator and TV celebrity, Curtis Stone, to treat guests to some Australian specialties.

Co-sponsored by the Ranch and the South Australian Tourism Commission, the Outback Weekend will run from September 17-20, and is a “cowboy adventure bringing the Australian Outback to the California Central Coast.”

The weekend package costs $2,495 per couple, and includes:

· Studio accommodations for three nights, four days
· Special lakeside lunch
· Wine dinner featuring Celebrity Chef Curtis Stone
· Australian and American BBQ
· Breakfast horseback ride
· Screening of "Australia" the movie, under the stars
· Unlimited activities including golf, horseback riding and more

Guests will also be entered to win an $8000 trip for two to the Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive in August 2010. You know, in case they had any fantasies about reenacting scenes between Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman from Australia. Well, anyone who saw the movie, that is.

We don’t have details on Curtis Stone’s menu yet, and when we ran into the hunky Australian the other day at a party, he confided that he was going to wait until September to see what was in season and available locally before deciding what to rustle up for dinner. So come September, strap on your spurs, jump on your horse, and take a ride up to Solvang to find out for yourself.
