I specialize in designing unforgettable, wine-inspired travel experiences that blend luxury, culture, and personalized service. As the owner of Dream Vacations, I help travelers explore the world through custom-crafted vacations with a focus on wine regions, culinary excellence, and immersive local experiences.
Before launching my travel business, I spent over two decades in the wine and beverage industry, including senior leadership roles with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. I hold a WSET Level 3 Award in Wine and have had the privilege of traveling extensively through world-renowned wine regions, including France, Italy, Spain, Germany, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, and the United States. These travels have provided me with rich destination knowledge and local connections that enhance every trip I plan.
What sets me apart is the combination of expert-level wine knowledge, destination experience, and concierge-level service. I design tailor-made itineraries that reflect each client’s travel style—whether that means wine tasting in Burgundy, a culinary escape in Tuscany, or a luxury cruise through Portugal’s Douro Valley.
I work with wine lovers, culinary travelers, couples planning romantic escapes, families, and small groups celebrating special milestones or simply exploring the world together. My clients know they can count on me for exceptional guidance, personalized planning, and experiences they won’t find on any booking website.
Beyond wine and food-focused travel, I also specialize in:
- Luxury Cruises and River Cruises (including wine-themed itineraries)
- Group Travel (celebrations, reunions, professional groups, and wine clubs)
- Family & Multigenerational Getaways
- Bucket-List Vacations (including Europe, South America, and Africa)
When you book with me, you can expect:
- Thoughtfully customized itineraries with premium touches
- Real-world knowledge of the destinations I recommend
- Professional, timely communication and complete transparency
- Peace of mind knowing that every detail is handled
