Culinary – Spain
Often when one mentions a food & wine trip they think of Italy and France. Think again. Think Spain. Catalonia and Basque Country are two unique regions of Spain that each boast of fine food and wine.
Fly fishing – Norway
We had a client who was specific – he and his wife wanted to go fly fishing in Norway. Frankly, it never occurred to me to go fly fishing, or that Norway is where fly fishers want to go. Think about it…what country has more icy cold water than Norway.
Active Outdoors – Portugal
Three women asked me to arrange a trip for them to Lisbon where they would be running the half-marathon. I know Portugal very well, my parents lived there and as a result, I visited often. That was the easy part. Little by little I came to realize that they are VERY active.
Agri-Adventures – Italy
Truffle hunting, grape or olive picking, bread making, cheese making: it is one thing to taste wines (we all have been to vineyards and enjoyed the wines offered) it is quite another to be a part of the production.
Sailing – Greece
If sailing is your passion then Greece is your country. Here are some words for you to think about and then look up on a map: Saronic Gulf, Peloponnese, Cyclades, and Argolic Gulf. There are 6000 islands scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
Golf – Ireland
Ireland is just one huge green with over 300 links for golfers to play their favorite sport in both an informal and friendly manner. Ballybunion is the most famous course in Ireland and sits cliffside of the Atlantic Ocean.
Christmas Markets – Germany
Enter into a storybook world where Christmas markets come alive in grand tradition. Half-timbered buildings are festively lit and the aromas of mulled wine and cinnamon permeate the air. Travelers can snuggle up at cozy hotels and the Christmas shopping is friendly.
