TESTIMONIALS
"This was an excellent experience and quite affordable.... Staying in one location with day trips suited us perfectly, and the itinerary was varied and interesting. To me it was the perfect chance to enjoy historical sites, natural beauty, food and wine, local people, and comfortable lodgings."

Catch the Wind Tours - Tuscany Wine Tour
SPECIAL CATCH THE WIND TOUR
TUSCANY WINE TOUR
March 30 - April 9, 2022
You're invited to join me for this special Catch the Wind tour
in Tuscany with Gold-Pin Sommelier Carmelo Messina
I am developing a Tuscany Wine Tour with Gold-Pin Italian Sommelier Carmelo Messina. The tour is 10 days, with three in Florence (including a day in Lucca), and a week in a villa in Tuscany visiting Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, and of course the Chianti wine country. It will include visits to several wineries with tastings, lunches, and cooking classes. In the evenings at the villa Carmelo will conduct short, entertaining talks about wine, and conduct mini-cooking classes. We are developing the itinerary together, based on his experience with the wineries and my 14 years taking groups to Tuscany staying in villas.
If you are interested in this inaugural Drifter Sister tour, email ihla@driftersister.com to verify availability. A $500 deposit is needed upon commitment. There is limited room at the villa, so I suggest you reserve your spot soon, before the maximum of 12 passengers is reached.
If the scheduled dates for the inaugural wine tour are not convenient for you, Carmelo will be conducting tours without me in October of 2021, and Spring of 2022.
If you love wine, you will love this tour! Give me a call at 702-294-4365 or drop me an email if you would like more information and a copy of the itinerary.
Dates: March 30 - April 9, 2022
