Click Travel Itineraries for a full list of off-the-beaten-path itineraries for exploring wine country.  As the list grows, we will begin to group these postings by country and region.  

While we expect to continue focusing on a variety of wine regions within California, we also plan to tell you about wherever else our wine travel takes us.  The emphasis here is on helping you to avoid tourist traps and to get the richest experience possible from your visit to wine country.  Picture a picnic in a grove of olive trees, an overnight stay in a charming bed and breakfast and a visit to a rustic winery located on a private dirt road.
