Adventure Awaits.

Outdoor Adventures for Foodies

Wine Adventures

First and foremost, are you fun and interesting? Great! Are you a wine enthusiast?  You love drinking wine, pairing wine with food, and wine tasting in new regions and destinations. You love learning about new wine regions and being out in the vineyards and hearing about wine making from the locals in the region. Do you love mingling with winery owners, winemakers, and others in the wine industry?

Chances are, we have an amazing trip planned with all of this and more.  We partner with amazing wineries and design trips to experience some incredible destinations, amazing wine, and make long lasting memories. We immerse ourselves in the culture of the region, see the popular sites (hey, they are popular for a reason, right?) but also get off the beaten path.  We like to really experience a destination, not just see it. 

Our travelers come home with new perspectives, awe-inspiring experiences, new friends, and most importantly, amazing memories. And the best part, we keep the group small so we can get to know our fellow travelers, and see the destination like a local. Join us on an outdoor adventure for foodies!

Outdoor Adventures

Do you have a passion for being outside?  Maybe it makes you feel alive when you're out in nature, getting up close and personal with wildlife.  Do you love hiking, maybe kayaking or boating to get even closer to the animals, and perhaps even seeing some beautiful birds?

We do too, and we love doing it with friends and making new friends.  We have preferred partners, locals, that help ensure we see and experience the very best - like a local, not a tourist. Our outdoor adventures include a great mix of activities, but give you some time to explore on your own too if that’s what you want. The best part, we keep the group small for the best experience, and so we don't have a major impact on the environment. And we love to include great food and amazing wine.

“Julie, a quick thank you for making our trip so effortless and memorable. It was one of the best vacations. Ever. One of the friends we travelled with had flight issues. They were amazed at how much you were able to do from a different continent. I'm glad you're so much younger than us -- we never have to worry about travelling without your assistance again!”

Sue C.

“Julie is amazing! She's coordinated several trips for us. She meets with us to understand our interests and concerns. Then she suggests several tours and excursions. Next, she loads our favorites into an app that we travel with. These include options in case we change our minds while travelling. One of my favorites was a macaron-making class in France. Ooh la la!”
