We promise, world-class bucket list experiences that include interactive, behind-the-scenes, waiting-to-be discovered destinations led by a Certified Wine Professional, as your personal guide.
Our ventures center around boutique producers and farm-to-table restaurants (Michelin starred eateries are also lovely options). Be prepared to enjoy food, a lot.
The Fermented Experience packages include air travel, hotel accommodations, luxury limo transportation from airport pickup to drop-off, on-site tastings, tours and lunches (overlooking beautiful vineyards or hop farms), multi-course dinners plus down time to explore on your own. We can also customize activities tailored just for you (or your group).
Our packages are guaranteed to engage your senses and expand your knowledge about wine, spirits and/or craft beer.
