Your Guide to Planning a Great GRAPE Escape!

I’ve been there. I get it. I still get overwhelmed at times when I’m heading out to explore a new wine region. There is just soooo much to sip in!!! Which is one of the reasons I do what I do at Carpe Travel…try to help guide you guys on your wine country adventures.

Recently I realized – after several of you have sent me questions – that I didn’t have a detailed, guide on how to plan a wine trip.

Volia! Ask and you shall receive.

I’ve broken this guide into a few different steps since this is a lot of information to sip in. If you are past any of these steps just click to the most relevant to help you plan your perfect wine trip. But, if you’re just getting started I suggest you start with step one. If you are just looking for some quick tips, I’ve got that covered too.
