OUR MISSION

Exclusive Wine Vacations is committed to providing wine enthusiasts with exquisite travel programs that creatively combine luxury travel, fine wine and succulent cuisine.

We are unrelenting in our quest to give discerning clientele a unique and unforgettable travel experience while giving the client an education in superior food and wine. We believe that wine travel is not simply about tasting a range of wines from various vineyards.

It is the education from visiting different wine regions and experiencing the wine, culture and cuisine that truly enlighten the wine enthusiast.

It is our goal to ensure that you are presented with this opportunity.

COMPANY FOUNDATION

Indeed, it is this type of opportunity that led to the creation of Exclusive Wine Vacations.

The company was borne of a passion for good travel, good wine and good cuisine.

Personal Touch Travel Owner, Debbie Gioquindo, CTC (Certified Travel Counselor), was researching wine vacations when she noticed the obvious lack of a place where the prospective wine enthusiast could find the appropriate cruise or tour with a wine theme.

Through meticulous research and contact with travel suppliers, Exclusive Wine Vacations was created.

Debbie has interviewed and spoken with each and every travel supplier with whom she works - a good working relationship with the supplier will result in a better vacation for clientele.
