My Story
Napa Valley-based travel advisor, crafting exceptional food & wine, boutique, and luxury trips. Trusted in my community, I create unforgettable experiences tailored just for you.
Travel Style
Nothing excites me more than planning my next trip or helping someone else plan theirs. Travel has always been a big part of my life, and over the years I have developed a love for boutique and luxury hotels, thoughtful experiences, and trips that feel both seamless and special. If there is a great spa involved, that is always an added bonus.
My own travels have taken many forms. I spent three months working on an organic farm in Hawai’i, visited friends throughout Europe and Central America, and planned a girls’ road trip through Iceland. Each of these experiences shaped how I approach travel today, with curiosity, flexibility, and an appreciation for both the big moments and the small details.
I am always on the hunt for the best local restaurants, coffee shops, and wineries, and I love weaving those discoveries into the trips I plan. When working with clients, I take time to understand what matters most to them, whether that is incredible food and wine, beautiful hotels, meaningful experiences, or simply time well-spent together.
My goal is to design trips that feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable from start to finish. I am here to help with every step, and I would love to start planning your next adventure.

Erin is amazing. She is responsive and always gives us plenty of information about the hotels and things to do around it. Before planning the trip she sent so many options for different hotels… she made dinner reservations- even ones that are hard to get! This is my second trip planning with Erin and I will continue to plan trips with her in the future!

She is always helpful, has great tips for restaurants as well as things to do, and makes booking a hotel fun and easy. I love working with Erin and can't wait to book with her for my next vacation!

Erin was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She was able to get our room upgraded and even had a bottle of champagne waiting for us upon arrival! Will definitely be booking with Erin Wholey for our next trip.

Erin was amazing to work with. She planned an amazing itinerary of stops for us to do on our 10 day trip in Ireland while also giving us many activities to choose from on our own depending on our own preferences. She also gave us plenty of food and bar recommendations which made it very easy to grab a great meal or sit at a cool bar.
