We really enjoyed the trip. It exceeded our expectations. It was very enjoyable and also extremely educational. The wineries we visited were diverse in size and style but all are making great wine. Having Nicolas along as a Sommelier was great. Thanks for arranging a fantastic trip.

This was a great trip. There were a great deal of wineries and restaurants. My only recommendation would be not to schedule lunch and dinner on the same day because of the slow dinner mode. It ends up being 6 hours of dining. It would also be nice to browse a city for shopping built into the tour midweek.

We were so fortunate to be able to have such an amazing trip in the Piedmont Wine Region of Italy. Our hotel accommodations at La Ribezza were first-rate. We loved all of the activities and experiences that we included as part of the trip. From wine tastings to truffle hunting and gourmet meals to castle tours, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation!!

The trip to Bosnia and Croatia was amazing. The food and wine, the restaurants and hotels, the coordination and timing of all the activities, the tour guides--all were above my highest expectations. I thought I was a museum-and-gallery type of tour lover. Turns out I got a great feeling of the people and the culture from this experience of tours, restaurants and, yes, wineries. Thank you for the attention to detail that you and your contacts planned and carried out to make this a trip of a lifetime. Thanks, Gail! Loved every minute!

A great food and wine trip is built around the experiences created and the food/meals enjoyed, wines explored, nice accommodations and ultimately the hospitality and knowledge of the hosts/guides… we ended up with some great local hosts & tour guides. Of course all expertly orchestrated under your guidance… a fantastic trip.

Traveled on Wines of the Rhône hosted by Caliza Winery
Overall 5 stars. A wonderful trip. We were almost tired of eating and drinking good wine. Trip Highlights - Hotel Intercontinental in Lyon. Very nice accomodations and great breakfast buffet. Good location. Glad that we were all able to be at the same hotel. Winery Highlights: Cave de Tain, Chateau de la Gardine and Cave de Coyeux (wonderful views). Best Meal: Maison Chenet - Entre Vigne et Garrique Best Tour - Pont du Gard Chateau De Massillan - beautiful hotel. Good food. We did not experience the air conditioning issue.

My wife and I recently completed a wine and cultural tour of the Rhone Valley with Wine Lovers Travel. Absolutely the right way to do a trip - everything was top notch; we enjoyed great wine and were accompanied by a winemaker from Paso Robles and a local (American born) sommelier. Gail had everything planned out and when we 'veered' off schedule, she was there to get everything back on track. I could sit here a write many, many paragraphs about this trip but simply put, my wife and I have shied away from preplanned tours as we always seem to find things we like but cannot take time to enjoy because the tour is moving on. The way Gail plans everything out, she makes sure that you also have some time to take in the culture and sights on your own time. Thanks for a great trip.

Our trip to Rhone wine country was as good as we could have wished. Our guide whom Gail arranged was world class. Accommodations, group meals, and venues visited were all excellent.

Wine Lovers Travel organized a memorable trip across northern Spain in the spring of 2022 for the Brian Carter Cellars wine club. I got many glowing reports from those who participated. The trip was well organized, including nice hotels and great tours of wineries and other local highlights. I would recommend Wine Lovers Travel to anyone who loves to travel Europe with a group.

Guides were excellent overall. The Parmigiano and Prosciutto visits were really great, as was the balsamico. The cooking class was great. The Manaresi visit was really good - more small production wineries like that one would be attractive to me. (Our case from them arrived the next week - they overnighted it to us for absurdly cheap shipping cost)
Dave T. (Traveler)
I absolutely loved this trip. I am not a seasoned traveler but I thought this tour was awesome in all the different areas/things we got to do and see. Especially loved Tuscany and the Parma tours (cheese, prosciutto and balsamic vinegar) were fantastic!!! Our small group was fun and loved getting to know everyone from all the various locations. Gail and Debbie were both fantastic - very well done!!

I thought it was well put together. We covered a lot of ground. It was a great trip! Thank you Gail!

Traveled on Sip & Savor Sicily with Pelletiere Estate
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this would be more than just a typical wine and food tour—it was an immersive journey into the heart of Italian culture, craftsmanship, and hospitality. One of the most magical highlights was a private concert with an incredibly talented opera singer. Listening to such a powerful voice in an intimate setting was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it set the tone for the rest of our adventures. ... And, of course, the wine tastings were exceptional—a true reflection of the region's deep-rooted wine traditions. As amazing as the destinations were, the experience was elevated even further by the incredible group of fellow travelers. The guests on this tour brought such warmth, humor, and curiosity to every stop, making every meal and conversation even more enjoyable. It truly felt like we were exploring Italy with friends, sharing laughter, stories, and unforgettable moments together.
