Wine country travel is extremely popular and for good reason. The beautiful scenery combined with excellent lodgings and restaurants makes for a great vacation. Most visitors to wine country spend more time on their rears than they want to, as they shuttle from hotel to winery to restaurant. This is a great whole new element to wine touring...staying active - on foot, bike, horseback, and canoe.

This tour will focus on the wine in addition to the activities. There are private wine tours, conversations with local vintners, exclusive walks through vineyards, and other opportunities to intimately get to know the wines of the region. (Note: Non-drinkers will also enjoy these tours. The Burgundy, Provence, Spain, Italy, and South Africa wine tours are especially suited to non-drinkers as the wineries can generally be skipped or limited.)

You need be neither a strong athlete nor a wine expert to enjoy these wine country tours, as they are tailored for almost all audiences. And you can't go wrong with the wine regions so pick your favorite and contact us for more information!

Trekking & Hiking Adventures

- Peru: Spiritual Inca Trail / July 24 - August 1, 2010 / $2950
- Montana: Glacier Hiking / August 23-27, 2010 / $1750
- Yellowstone / Sept 12-16, 2010 / $1900
- Peru: Royal Inca Trail / October 17-25, 2010 / $2500
- Patagonia / No date scheduled / $2900
- Tibet / Private treks only in 2010 / $2900
- Peru: Classic Inca Trail / April 15-23, 2011 / $2500

These trips define trekking as "multiday hikes without carrying your own gear". Why not experience a trekking tour that allows you to reach incredible places but not be burdened with 50-pound packs trying to get there. The means of moving our gear varies by location. In Peru and on Mount Kilimanjaro, we have local porters. In Yellowstone we use horses. In Tibet, they round up yaks from the nearby villages and in Patagonia use Zodiac boats.

The hiking travel vacations are a little more diverse offering a hotel-based hiking vacation in Montana's Glacier National Park and a Winter in Yellowstone tour which is comprised of snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

On both of these trekking tours and hiking tour vacations, you carry only what you need for the day: snacks, water, and extra clothing. On treks you generally sleep in tents (in Patagonia mountain refugios) but this is luxury camping. The staff sets up your tents, cooks delicious meals and cleans up afterwards. On your hiking tours and generally on the first and last night excellent local hotels will be provided.
