OUR Road to Wine
Hi. We’re Patty and Tony. Our international travel journeys started on our honeymoon to Italy, one incredible trip through Tuscany, and we couldn’t stop thinking about our experience. Now, after nearly thirty years of travel and well over twenty international trips, we've come to think of ourselves as citizens of the world. This designation means accepting, appreciating, and seeking to understand all the world's cultures. When we experience other cultures, we broaden our perspectives and open our eyes in so many ways.
My husband and I enjoy independent travel because it's not about checking off landmarks but having our own unique experiences. We believe travel should be rewarding, not exhausting, so we choose to go deeper, not wider. Setting our own pace allows us to savor moments, provides the time for deeper connections, and leads to memorable experiences. Traveling to wine regions has allowed us to deep dive into a country and its culture through their wine and the people who make it.
Of all the benefits of traveling, people are one of the most treasured gifts. Travel adventures can move you, especially when you meet people who share their passion for the wines they make; drinking that wine will become so much more. You may not speak the same language, but with wine, you can find common ground. Soon it becomes more than the color, smell, or taste, but the experience.
We research the cities, wine regions, and wineries and then find local guides to provide context and history. This approach has allowed us to explore an area independently while taking advantage of local knowledge. We want to share some of our explorations as we continue this journey.
If you have a passion for travel and enjoy a fantastic bottle of wine, we found meshing the two can result in one paramount adventure. One of the best parts is when you are looking out over vineyards with a glass of wine in hand, the stresses of your day-to-day life will fall to the wayside. We hope this inspires you to find your road to wine.
