About Me

Central and South America, Europe, Wine Country

I’m Rachel Petrucco, travel advisor for D & M Travel Inc, where I create immersive, culturally rich travel experiences—especially wine-focused journeys, family or honeymoon adventures, and authentic explorations that leave lasting memories.As a certified sommelier, I bring deep knowledge and genuine enthusiasm to every wine-related itinerary I design. I’m an avid traveler who has visited 14 countries and truly immersed myself in extended stays—spending a full month each in Germany, Honduras, and Ecuador—soaking up local cultures, cuisines, traditions, and everyday life in ways that books and short trips simply can’t capture.Before launching my own travel business, I led 8 successful public and private high school trips to Europe and Costa Rica, guiding groups of students through memorable journeys that blended education, adventure, and personal discovery. My years as a teacher taught me how to make every participant feel safe, informed, and truly inspired—no matter their age.When I’m not planning the next perfect getaway, you’ll find me cherishing time with my new husband, snuggling with my two beloved dogs, or out in nature rock climbing and kayaking—activities that keep me grounded and connected to the same sense of adventure I love sharing with others.Whether you’re dreaming of hopping between Italian wineries, wandering historic European villages, or building lifelong family memories on the beaches around the Caribbean or abroad, I’m here to craft trips with expert insight, thoughtful planning, and a personal touch. Travel (like wine) isn’t just about the destination (or finding the perfect vintage or bottle of wine) for me—it’s about the stories we create along the way. Let’s make your next journey unforgettable together!
