My Story
Sip, celebrate, and escape—your dream trip starts here. I’m Beth, a sommelier and travel advisor who helps wine lovers, bachelorettes, couples, and friend groups plan unforgettable getaways. Whether it’s sipping Sancerre in France, bar-hopping in Charleston, or clinking glasses on a Caribbean rooftop, I’ve got you covered—down to the last rosé.
Travel Style
My travel style is both adventurous and adaptable—I've road-tripped cross-country in an RV to Palm Springs and stayed in five-star icons like The Breakers in Palm Beach. I’ve cruised through the Caribbean, meandered on the rivers of France on a canal boat, and driven through the countryside of Europe with nothing but a map and a good playlist. From skiing the slopes of Aspen to swimming in the turquoise waters of Aruba, I love blending comfort with curiosity. I’ve explored the world in a day at Epcot and spent weeks discovering real wine country across California, Spain, Italy, and France. Whether you’re looking for a luxury resort, a boutique inn, an unforgettable group adventure, or a cozy stay with character—I believe every trip should feel like it was made just for you.

This was my first time working with Beth, but it certainly won’t be my last. I came to Beth with a few ideas about how I wanted to structure my vacation, and where I wanted to stay. When my preferred properties were unavailable, Beth suggested 2 others, which worked out so much better. The locations, amenities and perks that she was able to have them include made our vacation truly special. I am grateful for her knowledge, her expertise, and her persistence because, honestly, I would’ve made me nuts.
Thank you again, Beth. Have I mentioned I’m working on a trip to Utah….?

Beth is an absolute rockstar! From the very first conversation, she took the time to understand exactly what I wanted out of my trip — not just the destination, but the experience I was hoping for. She listened carefully, made thoughtful recommendations, and handled every detail with precision and care.
What really sets Beth apart is her communication and follow-through. She was incredibly responsive, proactive about updates, and even checked in during the trip to make sure everything went smoothly. Every hotel, tour, and flight connection was perfectly coordinated, and she found creative ways to make the trip both more enjoyable and cost-effective.

This was our first trip to Barcelona, and we weren’t sure which neighborhood would be best for our four night stay. Beth made the process much easier by listening to what we were looking for including location, budget, and hotel amenities. She provided several great options that fit our needs. Her recommendations were thoughtful and well researched and it was clear she truly knew the city. Thanks to Beth, we ended up in the perfect location, close to everything we wanted to see and do. Her guidance took the stress out of choosing a hotel in an unfamiliar city. We would absolutely work with Beth again for any future travel.

Beyond Derby Season: How to Experience Kentucky Bourbon Country at Its Best
Most people immediately think of Kentucky during Derby season—big hats, packed grandstands, and reservations made months in advance. But what makes bourbon country truly special isn’t the spectacle—it’s the slower moments in between. This is a place where the rhythm of the experience changes dramatically depending on when you visit. When you time it well, you’ll find quieter distillery tours, conversations that linger, and back roads lined with horse farms that feel like the real heart of Kentucky.

4 Days in the Finger Lakes: Wine, Lakes & Scenic Adventures
The Finger Lakes are a place where water meets hills and history meets modern winemaking. Eleven lakes stretch across rolling terrain, each lined with vineyards, waterfalls, and small towns with character. With more than 100 wineries scattered across the region, it’s impossible to see everything in one trip, so this itinerary focuses on the highlights—the experiences I think are unmissable: lakeside paddling, hiking through gorge trails, intimate winery visits, and local eats that feel authentically Finger Lakes. Whether you visit in summer, when the lakes invite kayaking, or autumn, when the hills burn with red, gold, and orange, these four days offer a balance of outdoor adventure, tasting, and lakeside relaxation.

Three Days in Newport, Rhode Island: Mansions, Sailing & Seaside Charm
Newport is where coastal New England elegance meets laid-back seaside energy. It’s a town that feels equally at home hosting yacht races as it does serving lobster rolls by the pier. Whether you’re drawn by the architecture, the ocean, or the oysters, Newport delivers a perfect long weekend of history, style, and sea air.

Charleston After Dark: My Favorite Speakeasies & Cocktail Bars
Charleston has been my part-time home in the Low Country for almost a decade. It’s a true foodie paradise, where every meal feels like a discovery. The three-season weather makes it easy to savor life outdoors, while the cobblestone streets and historic charm never lose their magic. For me, Charleston is the perfect blend of history, flavor, and laid-back Southern beauty.
