Our Travel Experts: Wines & Vineyards

Wine is truly my passion! Pair that with a love for travel and I have the perfect career. My interest in wine started upon entering the world of restaurateurs as my sister and I owned a small restaurant many years ago. Today after being in the travel industry for over 20 years I am able to explore and enjoy wines from all over the world. From Champagne to Zinfandel, where ever your tastes lay, I can arrange an amazing memorable trip anywhere in the world for you. California alone has Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast offering a wide array of delicious wines. Even Baja California has the Guadalupe Valley…great for a pre or post cruise excursion, or a quick weekend getaway. Call me! I’ll send you on a fantastic trip!

Vineyards and wine making have infatuated me for decades. No other harvest in the world yields such diverse tastes and aromas as the yield from grape harvests. Wine is an art form from the vineyard to the glass. Wine enhances food, celebrations and traditions and is even believed to possess health properties. Since planting our own vineyard in 2001 my husband and I have an even greater interest in visiting other wine regions in the world and find there is always more to know and love about this intriguing beverage that ties nearly every country in the world together. If they don’t grow it, they almost always drink it! Adding a visit to a wine region anywhere in the world will compliment city visits and give you a unique, rural experience. I’d love to help you plan a perfect trip to the wine tasting area of your dreams or book a “winederful” tour, river cruise, barge trip, biking or walking tour or other delightful itineraries that will let you include amazing wine and food in your travels.

If “Wine is the nectar of the God’s” then wine travel is the path to heaven! I can arrange the perfect experience with the surroundings and accommodations to suit your taste. Are you looking for a hip and cutting edge Inn overlooking the vineyards in the Carneros area of Napa or something more traditional like an intimate B&B in Sonoma? And if you’re looking for the best Barolo red in the Piemonte region of Italy – I have just the right spot in mind. Have you thought about a cruise along the Doro River traveling throughout Spain and Portugal in search of the ultimate Port while being served the yummiest Tapas gourmet delights this area has to offer? Consider tasting the crisp chardonnays of South Africa or Merlots of the Blue Mountains, Australia – all while taking in the most breathtaking scenery. Let me show you the way as I have the perfect wine escapes throughout the world to suit your palette from A to Zin!
