About Us
Lisa G.This trip was well planned and seamlessly executed. It provided fabulous Italian experiences including not just truly amazing food and wine, but exploring hilltop villages, truffle farm, organic farm, and cheese making, all at the same time while making new friends from our club! Traveling together is just more fun! Also, there were many simple pleasures difficult to put value on - like not having to schlep luggage from place to place, but transported for us to the next hotel and placed in our room by the time we arrived! Job well done both Mladen and Joy!
Louise P.Bordeaux was a charming city, full of history, beautiful parks and very walkable. Many great restaurants, shops and friendly people. I loved everything about it.
Daniel P.It's a must go if you can make this trip. A once in a lifetime!
Jane A.This wonderful trip has special Swiss wines pared with the scenery of a life time enjoyed by van, train, chairlift and boat. Don’t miss this spectacular week of vino and views!
James P.A great trip and wonderful experience! Wines and food were great! The service can be slow. But to be honest, a lot better than I expected. The guide Kamen was outstanding !!!!! Very knowledgeable and he read the group’s interest well. A well thought thru trip in all aspects. A trip I could never do on my own. Fun group. Excellent value for money.
Susan B.If you are looking for a 5-star trip that exceeds your expectations and if you have a great Sommelier like, Mladen Stoev, as your guide we would highly recommend this trip! The careful planning and attention to our needs and comfort made our experience an exceptional one. A trip that was as perfect as one could hope for!
Chris V.We did not really know what to expect. The food, the wine, the truffle hunting, the cooking class were all terrific. Not too much time spent on the bus. The private tour of the Vatican was so inspiring and wonderful. It would be very hard to replicate this trip as an individual. This is a unique experience to meet some great new people, taste some delicious wine and to learn more about them. This is a trip anyone who has not been to Italy can enjoy as can people like us who have already visited Italy numerous times.
Steve P.The winery visits appealed to guests of widely varying knowledge regarding wine, but you must be interested in learning about wine to enjoy this in-depth quality exposure to the industry. Bordeaux is an extremely charming city, and both hotels were great. Overall, a great trip that exceeded expectations.
John M.A wonderful cultural experience in becoming familiar with Bulgaria and its history. A very, very impressive guide. The service was great and the attitude was even better. Excellent value for money. This trip should be a must if we are ever going to understand what other people have gone through in their lives as a result of politics, wars, education, etc. We saw an unbelievably beautiful country with an abundance of natural resources that have been badly used by political programs. It is an eye-opener.
Tom S.Best wine trip I've ever been on. We had an excellent time. Mladen was an excellent host. It was a great treat to get to visit Mouton and Margaux. We also really loved Chateau Kirwan and the excellent lunch of Preserved Duck Parmentier. Our time with the winemaker in the vineyards at Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte was one of the highlights of the trip for me. I thought the guide Karin did a great job.
Cathy G.Your service, experience, enthusiasm, charm are all spectacular. You and Mladen both make the trip! Magical on all levels!
David M.This trip was so amazing for us. I was nervous not being involved in the trip plan like I normally would be. I have to say it was better than any trips I have planned. To us this was a perfect delivery of an amazing wine, food and history experience in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Scenery that takes your breath away; experiences that you are not likely to find yourself; with a relaxed, seamless execution; and a love for the experience that is contagious. A sommelier added tremendous value to our trip. Mladen made the experience fantastic - growing a deep appreciation not only for wine but the soulful nature of experiencing wine and making new friends. His deep understanding of wine and his enthusiasm for it was one of the many highlights of our trip. He helped grow our appreciation at a much deeper level.
