Special Edition

Our Special Edition tours are one time, one-of-a-kind journeys. Like in wine, with an exceptional vintage, a winemaker crafts a special edition wine to express that particular grape or harvest conditions. In that same spirit, we craft these small group adventures to explore a one-off destination in the America, and sometimes beyond.

These are curated programs of small groups from 6-16 people. We blend together the experiences to take you deep into local culture, craftsmanship, food, wine, and traditions, usually celebrating a special time of year, or simply Mother Nature herself.

It’s plan between the stirring natural landscape, the people, and connecting with a soul of place, through the senses, and palate, of course.
