Lyon France from the confluence

Hi, I’m Katie Horin, co-founder of K&S Escapes, and I’m here to turn your family’s travel dreams into extraordinary, flavor-filled adventures. Nestled in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains with my husband, two young kids, and our loyal dog, I bring a warm, personal touch to every trip I plan. My background in hospitality and my love for wine and gourmet cuisine drive me to craft luxurious, multi-generational vacations that create lasting memories for foodie families like yours.

Whether you’re dreaming of sipping wine in a Bordeaux vineyard, savoring truffle-infused dishes in Tuscany, or exploring a bustling Provençal market with your kids, I design every itinerary with care and creativity. My knack for finding hidden culinary gems—like a family-friendly winery in the Loire Valley or a cozy trattoria in Florence—sets your trip apart. I’ve explored 5 European destinations myself, soaking up their food and culture, so I can bring authenticity to your journey.

What makes me different? I listen to your family’s unique wishes, tailoring every detail to your tastes, from opulent accommodations to private dining experiences. I partner with eco-conscious providers to ensure your travels support local communities and preserve the beauty of places like France and Italy. With my hospitality roots, I handle all the details—flights, transfers, and special touches like a sunset picnic—so you can relax and enjoy every moment with your loved ones.

As a new agent, I’m fueled by a passion for creating joy through travel, inspired by my own family’s adventures and the thrill of seeing my kids’ faces light up at new flavors and sights. At K&S Escapes, co-founded with my friend Shari Latif, I’m dedicated to making your vacation seamless, luxurious, and deeply personal.
