My Story
I’m a wine-country mom of two boys, constantly torn between booking solo escapes to boutique, design-forward hotels and planning the next epic family adventure. When I’m not traveling, I’m either helping out at our family winery, running a full-time sports-shuttle service for my kids, or out on the golf course pretending I’m far better than I am.
Travel Style
I specialize in family travel, solo getaways, and bucket-list golf trips. With a background in wine, I’m constantly seeking out destinations with standout wineries and unforgettable hospitality. I believe in the educational value of travel and in sharing those experiences with the people we love most.

Kirsti was excellent with her knowledge and expertise in helping me to find the right location for this family trip. She responded quickly to my emails and/or phone calls. Kirsti really knows what she is doing and I look forward to working with her again on future adventures.

I had a fantastic experience working with Kirsti! She provided a great selection of hotels that were perfectly within my price range, making the decision process so much easier. She really listened to what I was looking for and presented options that matched my needs.
Kirsti was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. I especially appreciated that she checked in with me right before I got on the plane to make sure everything was set and I felt fully prepared for my trip.
I highly recommend working with her, she made the entire experience smooth and stress-free!

Kirsti went above and beyond planning our travel. Her exquisite taste in location, attention to detail , and focused planning exceeded my expectations. I felt heard and taken care when outlining what I was looking for from my trip, and she even surprised us with a welcome treat for our anniversary. I’m not sure I will be able to book a trip on my own ever again. Thank you Kirsti!

Kirsti was easy to work with and full of helpful, useful, and creative ideas for our vacation and stay. The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club was perfect for the family and I plan on coming back as soon as possible!

Best Beaches in Corsica
If there's one thing Corsica does exceptionally well, it's beaches. We recently returned from two weeks exploring Corsica, part family vacation and part destination research. Before visiting, I assumed all the beach photos I'd seen online had to be heavily edited. They weren't. Corsica is home to some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever experienced. Think crystal-clear water in every shade of turquoise, powdery white sand, dramatic granite cliffs, and fragrant pine forests. The scenery is so spectacular that even my decidedly non-professional iPhone photos look filtered. If you're planning a trip to Corsica, these are the beaches I'd build an itinerary around, along with the best places to base yourself.

Family-Friendly Wine Tasting in Barolo: A Guide to Piedmont with Kids
The Piedmont region of Italy is home to some of the best wineries and restaurants in the world. With backgrounds in winemaking and hospitality, we have high standards when it comes to wine-focused vacations. And as parents, a love for wine and food doesn’t have to pause once you have kids. On our most recent trip to Barolo, we traveled with four adults and four children (ages 2 to 9). While wine tasting in Italy might seem intimidating for families traveling with young children, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm hospitality and family-friendly experiences throughout the Piedmont region. This guide will show you how a thoughtful, well-paced itinerary can make family travel in Barolo both safe and enjoyable.
