Gail Sherman
CEO of Wine Lovers Travel
Gail is the founder and CEO of Wine Lovers Travel, driven by her love for wine and travel, which inspired her to create a business centered on unforgettable travel experiences. With a passion for uncovering hidden gems around the world and savoring exceptional wines, Gail decided to merge her two greatest passions and share them with fellow enthusiasts like you. Her belief that travel should offer an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience serves as the guiding principle behind every meticulously planned itinerary, ensuring that each trip is more than just a vacation—it’s an unforgettable journey.
Gail’s passion for both the wine and travel industries has enabled her to forge meaningful and long-lasting connections with some of the industry’s top winemakers, sommeliers, hotel owners and insiders in both the US and abroad. Through these connections, she stays ahead of the curve, offering her travelers exclusive access to unique experiences. Her favorite wine, Chateauneuf du Pape, holds a special place in her heart, especially when Mourvèdre is the predominant grape. Its earthiness evokes memories of one of the most enchanting places in France—a fitting sentiment for Gail, who proudly declares herself a Francophile.
