About Us
Larry A.This tour met or exceeded our expectations in all regards. Although we lived in Switzerland for several years, we thoroughly enjoyed the exposure to many new sights and a more in depth understanding of the history and culture. Joy, Mladen and the tour guides were all outstanding and made this an experience we will long remember. Joy’s detailed preparation before and her hands on involvement during our trip where beyond our expectations. We cannot offer a more positive evaluation of her role in making this a fabulous experience!!
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.
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.
Roger D. & Joanne B.The trip exceeded expectations — plenty of pleasant surprises popping up around the itinerary. This Bordeaux trip seems somewhat unique because of the reputation, long history, and 7000 Chateaux, and each of the properties we visited brought something new and different. Final evening was a glorious crescendo — the visit to Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, wine tasting in the garden, the band playing authentic American music, and then the spectacular Michelin 2 star meal with a country flair — again, unforgettable. Many thanks to you, Mladen and your local partners for a most enjoyable trip.
Sandy G.Joy was absolutely the best. We have done two trips with her and each on was so unique. This was totally different from our trip to Italy. Every last detail was sooo perfect! Can’t recommend a better person than Joy.
John M.We had experiences and saw things we would have never known to exist if we had tried this on our own.
Cathy S.All the fun and none of the hassle. Everything worked! As others must have said, the trip was just exceptional.
Marie F.Joy did an exceptional job designing and executing our trip. Her comprehensive attention to detail provided everything from knowledgeable local guides, special wine and dining experiences, to making our hotel check-in experiences seamless and easy. I think that she did an exceptional job choosing the personnel, the special experiences, the hotels, the driver, the guides....which resulted in an experience that we would not have been able to achieve without her savvy skill. The Sommelier Mladen is a rock star! His smile, laughter and warm personality added to our enjoyment of the trip. His knowledge and wine selection at our evening meals were definitely value added to our experience. It was a very special experience. Again, many aspects would not have been possible without Joy's planning and execution. We made many wonderful memories and will treasure those moments of awe, delight and laughter forever.
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.
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!
Daniel P.It's a must go if you can make this trip. A once in a lifetime!
Peter M.Joy is extremely professional and has a great attention to detail for the benefit of providing a luxury client experience. This was a magical trip, scenery, food, wine, accommodations superior!
