Amid ongoing uncertainties and complexities that can sometimes accompany international travel, traveling within the United States is rising in popularity as the preferred vacation choice.


Exploring “at home” unlocks a treasure trove of experiences that are just waiting to be discovered.


You might find yourself pleasantly surprised by the richness and variety that lie right in your own backyard. You might be surprised at the possibilities for luxurious domestic travel.


Below are some curated ideas to ignite your imagination:


🍷 Wine-Tasting Wonders Indulge in the timeless pleasure of wine-tasting getaways.


While California proudly remains the crown jewel of American winemaking, do consider the expanding vinicultural scenes scattered across other states. Why limit your tastes to one region when you could embark on a flavorful vineyard tour from coast to coast throughout the year?


Where exactly?


  • Oregon – Renowned especially for Pinot Noir, with the Willamette Valley as a prime area.

  • Washington – Produces rich Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Riesling, with vineyards in the Columbia Valley.

  • New York – Home to the Finger Lakes and Long Island regions, known for Riesling and other cool-climate whites.

  • Virginia – Rapidly growing wine scene with Cabernet Franc and Viognier varieties.

  • Texas – Emerging wines from the Hill Country and High Plains, producing Tempranillo, Mourvèdre, and Viognier.

  • Colorado – High-altitude vineyards crafting unique styles of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.

  • Michigan – Producing crisp whites and fruit-forward reds, flourishing around Lake Michigan.

  • Arizona – Growing regions in higher elevations, with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier gaining recognition.

  • New Mexico – A historic wine region re-emerging, producing good Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.


Several other states are nurturing their vineyards too! This broad tapestry means every few months you can immerse yourself in a new wine region right in the US, experiencing distinct flavors and gorgeous landscapes—perfect for your next getaway.


❤️ Tailored Romantic Escapes Romance means something unique to every couple, and planning a trip around your shared or individual ideas of romantic bliss is a delightful endeavor. Whether it’s a serene country B&B, a glam city retreat, or an oceanfront sanctuary, your journey should reflect your combined dreams.


Bring your inspirations—or even just your openness—to me, and let me craft magic from the details.
