My Story
With 10+ years in the wine import world and a master's in food culture and communications from Slow Food’s University in Italy, I plan custom trips to wine regions across Europe and beyond. Think vineyard stays, hidden trattorias, and insider access to the people who make your glass (and your plate) unforgettable. Based in NC, planning globally.
Travel Style
My travel style blends understated luxury with deep cultural and culinary immersion, shaped by years of experience in the wine industry and a master’s degree in food culture. I design journeys through the world’s great food and wine regions, offering exclusive access to top estates, intimate meals with producers, and boutique accommodations—thanks to my long-standing personal relationships wherever grapes and olives grow. Each itinerary is thoughtfully paced to prioritize comfort, connection, and the quiet joy of discovering something authentic and unforgettable.

Amy found out what we like to do and customized our trip to our requests. All the activities she organized for us went very well. Her help took the work out of organizing and guessing, given her knowledge and experience of Alsace. The suggested wine tastings she organized for us were all amazing. We will definitely work with her again.

Excellent! It was clear that Amy made notes to the hotel to let them know about our special requests and celebrations. Since it was an anniversary and babymoon, we were treated with non-alcoholic bubbles and sweet treats.

Amy was a breeze to work with! She is a direct and clear communicator and went above and beyond to ensure our travel experience was seamless! We were traveling overseas with two children, one of whom is only a year and a half old. Amy worked with the hotel to ensure that a crib and kid-friendly toiletries, extra towels, and even a welcome snack were present in our room upon check in. She graciously sent us a lovely welcome gift, and with her help we were upgraded to a beautiful suite! She helped make what could have a been a very stressful travel experience so much easier. We aren’t thinking twice about asking her to work with us on our next trip abroad. Would 100% recommend- without hesitation!

Amy is a fantastic advisor! Not only is she wonderful to work with, she was able to get us the best rates for what our group was looking for and additional perks including a room upgrade, free breakfast daily and late checkout!

Amy was fantastic to work with! She researched the best hotel options for our family of four and was proactive in ensuring our trip was setup exactly how we wanted it. She is very responsive and helpful with recommendations for activities, etc as well. Highly recommend working with her for your next trip!

Baroque & Beyond: A Slow Traveler’s Guide to Lecce
I still remember my first visit to Lecce—taken there by a Slow Food representative while studying at the University of Gastronomic Sciences. I stepped onto its golden limestone streets and thought, “What is this gorgeous place, and why have I never heard of it?!” Often called the Florence of the South, Lecce radiates warmth—through its sun-soaked Baroque facades, its laid-back southern hospitality, and the way locals treat beauty, food, and tradition as part of everyday life. It’s a soulful, slow, and deeply charming city that reveals itself like a secret you’re lucky to stumble upon.
