Adam & Natalie we want to express our appreciation for the monumental effort you both put forth to ensure that we would make lifetime memories on this incredible trip to a region of the world we would have otherwise never explored. We can't begin to imagine how much planning was involved and all that was going on behind the scenes to make it all happen. The experience was perfectly seamless. You were both so helpful, patient and understanding. We will also forever enjoy our new found appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into producing fine italian wines. Finally, it was just plain fun to spend this time traveling with you both it is obvious that you love this place and the work that you do!

I am not a “Tour Group” type of person but after traveling with Adam and Natalie in Northern Italy along with a few other couples this experience rates an 11! The quality of service, selection of wineries, hotels, background information, transportation, restaurant selection...outstanding. Adam and Natalie have created an exceptional environment where you are one-on-one with boutique winemakers, not a 30-minute tasting but a rich conversation about the culture and meaning of these unique family wineries embodied in the lands they cultivate and the wines they produce. This was an unbelievable experience; I can’t recommend it more. Regardless of your level of wine appreciation, you will learn and be well-versed in the plentiful selections and style of the region. And if food is your jam...seriously out of this world. Adam has found the best which represents the area, the cuisine is delicious, the preparation flawless and no one goes hungry or thirsty...this is a not to be missed experience.

The trip was brilliantly planned and executed, down to the tiniest detail. Adam and Natalie were perfect hosts, helpful with every request, and wonderfully flexible!

What a joy it was to travel across Northern Italy with Adam & Natalie as our guides! Their extensive first-hand knowledge of the area and their connections to the winemakers in the region made this a truly one of a kind experience. I especially loved watching the sunset from the top of the tower in Barbaresco. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a bottle of wine with fellow travelers and watch the changing colors on the vineyards below. Another highlight was our time spent around Lake Garda. The nature beauty of this area is stunning! It is impossible to speak about this trip without mentioning the kind hospitality we experienced. All of the winery visits were outstanding in every way. Whether it was a private tasting in a candlelit cellar, a late night conversation, a walk through the vineyards, or an elegant lunch in their home, each winemaker made our visit a special occasion. Not only did I learn a lot about wine but I was able to enjoy it in a relaxing setting with wonderful people. Thank you Adam & Natalie for creating such an incredible trip!

We can't express enough how amazing this vacation was for us! We had the hardest time readjusting to life back in LA after experiencing the beautiful rhythms of Italy. Adam & Natalie were incredible hosts and this tour was a once in a lifetime experience.

Thank you for an incredible experience to Italy. Our days with the winemakers and their families made the trip heartwarmingly memorable. The food was extraordinary and highlighted by the company of our fellow travelers. This trip was organized like a pro, but felt very easy and natural as each day progressed. I can't thank you enough for your generosity, time and wealth of knowledge about each city, restaurant and winery we visited.
