Our Story

I'm a seventh-generation Napa Valley native, former winery marketing director, and luxury travel advisor who believes the best trips are built around people, not checklists.

Today, I design highly personalized itineraries for travelers who value exceptional hotels, remarkable food and wine, beautiful design, and authentic local experiences. Whether I'm planning a multi-generational journey through Scotland, a hosted group trip, a river or ocean cruise, a honeymoon in Italy, a culinary escape to Japan, or introducing first-time visitors to Napa Valley, every itinerary is tailored to how my clients actually like to travel.

Travel Style

I don't believe luxury has to be formal, it should simply make travel easier, richer, and more memorable.

You'll find me just as happy spending an afternoon wandering a museum, lingering in a park, discovering an overlooked neighborhood café, or experiencing one of the world's great restaurants or hotels. I travel with my family, with my winemaker husband, with friends, and occasionally on my own, and each trip offers a different perspective on how people experience a destination.

I'm drawn to places with a strong sense of identity: cities shaped by history, regions defined by food and wine, remarkable architecture, and hotels that feel deeply connected to their surroundings. My favorite itineraries leave room for both thoughtful planning and unexpected discovery.

Communication was amazing - prompt replies and many suggestions to narrow our search. I requested a hotel with a bathtub (a must) and an outdoor heated pool and she was able to find both in the same hotel in the middle of winter. I also requested it be near the family we were visiting and it was absolutely convenient. She went above and beyond on the day of travel to determine if the hotel could provide additional accommodations with Valentine's Day and was willing to do the work herself, if not. Absolutely cannot say enough good things about her professionalism and willingness to help her clients.
