Meet us in Barolo - we always travel on this weekend each year - we say "Have Thanksgiving with your family - eat left overs on Friday and then fly on Saturday to meet us in Barolo on Sunday... and we will take it from there."

This trip focuses on staying at a single top quality hotel; eating amazing food, epic wine experiences, and a small group - currently scheduled for 10 guests. A great value for "a trip of a lifetime" ... In fact, it could be this years trip of a lifetime as some have taken this trip with us multiple times before! We always see different producers, eat in different restaurants and revisit a few of our favorite places. I would dare to say that no one is making better wine in the world today that those in Barolo.... the food is world class and it is amongst the most beautiful places on earth. Join us! Now is the time.

*All producers named maybe changed to accommodate this calendar - should the produce change, it will be another great producer - some are small, some are famous, some are new discoveries... we promise all will be part of an excellent adventure.
