Wine & Culinary Travel

Food and wine are more than just a part of travel. They are the heart of every destination. I specialize in crafting luxury culinary journeys that immerse you in the flavors, traditions, and artistry of the world's greatest food and wine regions.

In Italy, I arrange private vineyard tours in Tuscany, truffle hunting in Piedmont, cooking classes in Bologna, and wine tastings along the Amalfi Coast. Each itinerary is designed around your palate, whether you prefer bold Barolos, crisp Pinot Grigios, or the perfect Margherita in Naples.

Across Europe, I design food-focused experiences through the wine regions of France, the pintxos bars of San Sebastian, the Michelin-starred restaurants of London, and the craft beer scene of Belgium. My partnerships with Tauck, Insight Vacations, and Kensington give me access to exclusive culinary experiences that go far beyond what you can book on your own.

Closer to home, I create luxury Napa Valley and Sonoma getaways with private tastings, hot air balloon rides over vineyards, and reservations at the most sought-after restaurants in wine country.

Whether you dream of a dedicated wine tour or simply want incredible dining woven into your broader travel plans, I handle every detail. At Awaken Travels, we believe the best travel memories are often made at the table.
