Our JOURNEYS

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.

Hungary, The Golden Danube
Budapest, Eger, Tokaj, Lake Balaton
Sept 23 - 30, 2026
(7 days / 6 nights)
Hungary is a striking mix of imperial heritage and vibrant contrasts—grand boulevards, thermal baths, and a wine culture shaped by volcanic soils and history.

Salta, High Altitude Wines
Salta, Cafayate
Nov 13 - 20, 2026
(7 days / 6 nights)
Venture to Argentina’s remote northwest and the province of Salta, where colonial charm, Andean culture, and dramatic landscapes meet. From Salta city’s pastel plazas to Cafayate’s high desert vineyards, bold wines pair with striking geography. Winding roads, red canyons, ancient adobe villages, towering cacti, and a vibrant wine scene with Argentina’s best empanadas. Come on an immersion in altitude, ancestry, and awe.
West Sonoma Coast
West Sonoma Coast
May 7 - 10, 2026
(4 days / 3 nights)
In this distinct corner of Sonoma, Pacific fog meets hillside vineyards producing some of California’s most refined Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The journey begins with a welcome dinner in Healdsburg, then winds through wooded ridges and private tastings and proprietor-hosted lunches at top estates to offer a deeper sense of place and philosophy. With free time to explore Healdsburg, this is a slower, wilder side of Sonoma.

Searching for flavors; the honest

From our Journal

What the Desert Asks of You

The first thing you notice landing in Calama is the incredible dryness. On the road to the desert oasis of San Pedro, the jumping off point to the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, the landscape registers few signs of life — dry riverbeds, copper colored hills, and even an entire mountain range made from compressed […]

The Uruguayan Riviera — February 2027

The Uruguayan Riviera returns February 19–25, 2027 — our third edition, and it gets better every time. I‘m standing on the sand dunes above Playa Mansa in José Ignacio, Uruguay. Big raindrops — the fat, splattering kind — are beating down on my head and the cashmere sweater I am wearing to ward off the […]

Just back from… Clos Apalta Residence in Chile

I am sitting like a lizard in the warm afternoon sunshine, wrapped in an alpaca wool shawl on a scenic terrace overlooking the Apalta wine appellation and volcanoes of the Andes. The chilly morning rain has moved out and there’s not a cloud in the sky. In the distance, there’s a shrill call of a […]
