Wine and Food
Blackberry Farm: Walland, TN
Blackberry Farm is located in the mountains of Tennessee and is the ultimate relaxation vacation. It's a bit hard to describe as it is unlike anywhere else I have traveled. It is part elegance, part farm, part mountains, part luxury, part cabin, part lake, and part comfort - but don't let me mislead you. Everything, and I mean everything, is 5-star all the way. From cabin names that are aligned with nature to a fully stocked cabinet of gourmet treats to mini flat screens in the bathroom to farm-raised eggs for breakfast -- every last inch of detail is perfect.
Italy: Food & Wine Experiences
Our clients favorite destination this year is Italy, and this delightful country just happens to be a fantastic place to sample great food and wine. Visiting vineyards and wineries is a popular pastime in Italy, a good way to meet the locals, as well as to find out more about winemaking. Sometimes we go with our local wine expert/wholesaler and taste our way around the country. This works great even from a cruise ship, as we did on the Seabourn Spirit one year. And the owners and managers of vineyards know where to get the best food! They may even offer to make you a reservation!
